Re: Diesel trucks
My 2 cents, which aren't worth much as my info is based off current model year trucks.
Been in the field the past 2 weeks with work. We have had a Dodge 3500 Diesel, a GMC 2500 Diesel, and a F350 Super Duty Gas.
The gas truck is a joke, I absolutely hate it, hauling any weight, trying to pass, hills, the motor is just constantly revving around, downshifting, upshifting, doing a whole of nothing.
The ride in the GMC was my favorite, is was maybe a touch rougher than the Ford, but felt more planted and was much nicer in the snow and heavy slush. Big fan of the diesel, never a moment when I wished I had more power, and it was always ready. If I matted it, it just went faster. No hunting for gears, just went faster, and it went there surprisingly quickly.
The Dodge was pretty awesome, the interior layout was nice, but it had the roughest ride, and the motor in that was awesome. Plus it has that super awesome exhaust brake, and really that sound alone made the rougher ride worth it. Also it felt like the GM, is didn't give a **** what was in front of it, it was just going there.
The F350 was the best in the mud, but only because it had the FX4 package with the locking rear diff.
