My truck hunting...
I used to like Chev's years ago, but I've owned a f-250's for the last 15 years. When I went the market for a new truck, I was open to any model. Here's a breakdown of performance from all three.

Chev Duramax has 300hp and 520 lb ft torque
Dodge Cummins has 305hp and 555 lb ft torque
Ford Super Duty has 325hp and 560 lb ft torque

I held out buying a new truck until the new Dodge 3500 came out. As soon as I saw it I new I wasn't gonna buy it because it looked like shit. It drove ok, but had a real bouncy ride and you had to shift constantly. The new hemi is nice, but I wanted the power and mileage of diesel.

The silverado 3500 handled nice, but the interior sucked...big time and it had a shitty towing ability, despite the ads.

The F350 turbo Diesel had a way better road feel and interior trim. It also has more towing ability and in online comparisons it was the winner.

I'm now the proud owner of a '03 F-350 quad cab diesel 4x4.
