Question Ford Junkies 2nd Choice?

Okay, so we are all Ford Junkies here. But if you had to pick a different truck and what would be your second choice? I think if I had to choose a different truck other than a Ford it would be a Dodge. What would you choose and why?

I'd have to say Dodge 2500 CC SWB 4x4. Not sure if I'd go with the HEMI or the Cummins. Auto all the way...

Okay, I take it back. I had to settle for a small economy truck, a F-350, Dually, Crew, 4X4, PSD, Lariat. So my second choice is what I have. MY FIRST CHOICE WOULD BE THE 2006 INTERNATIONAL CXT. New for 2006, DT 570 (9.3 liter, 310 HP, 950 ft/lbs, Allison 3000). Okay, where did I put those Lotto tickets............

I loved it. 100k miles with ZERO engine problems. Just routine maintenance and 2 front end rebuilds. I beat the snot out of it, too.

It drowned in 8 ft of water after Katrina. RIP
