Mmmm! I love Mustangs. Just wish I had more money to get my 1970 to where I want it to be. However I also think the Cudas, Camaros, and Firebirds are awesome too!
If nothing changes with Ford and their inability to make a reliable diesel engine (the 6.4 sounds like a flop as I spend lots of time in the diesel forums here and on another site) my next truck will be a D'Max. I need my truck to go 40000 kms per year without all the b.s. associated with the last two Navistar boat anchor programs!

Have you ever thought to get a ol 7.3 liter? Or are you looking more for a more powerful truck?
We have a GM HD2500 at work, and I got to test it out abit last week. It is a gasser though.
Its not my ford, but I didnt hate it either. The seats in it were actually really comfy too. I didnt like the dash and controls, but I am used to my fords.

that is my opinion,,,i love the blues and i'll stick with them!!!
my wife's uncle works for cn/cpr and he says they are all junk. thing is, he was a die hard chevy man, now owns a 05 f250 6.0L and is happy as a pig in snit. those trucks get driven hard and the cummins/dmaxes spend as much time in the shop as the rest of them. the Ford chassis seems to be the better of the 3, with the allison transmission being the toughest.

I definitely agree with the statement about the Ford being the toughest of the three as far as the truck itself. Its the most solid, roomist, and best riding of the three (not counting the megacab). I wouldnt mind picking up a real low mile 7.3 crew cab and just keep it around as a tow vehicle and run something smaller as a way to address the fuel cost! That 7.3 is still fetching a premium price because of its dependability.

Is it the new version out yet or can the emissions standards be meet with the current version?

I cant stand the cab or the ride of the dodge 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks. Its noisey, and not engine noise, and teh ride is just uncomfortable. Every time I get out of one of our shop trucks I have to stretch, and damn near call a chiropractor.
Definatly agree overall the ford is the toughest overall of the trucks.
The dodge falls apart, and the chevy is ok, just not quite there.
Man I would love my ford with a cummins and an allison tranny in it, unstoppable!!
