[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1928729, member: 7488"] Terry is right, if you are talking pure GVWR capacity, the Ford is the highest (13,300), then the Ram (aka Dodge, 13,000) and Chevrolet (also 13,000). These are 1 ton ratings. That's a damn nice set up sir, by the way. The disparities were larger, but the others caught up the last couple years. The Chevrolet is independent front suspension, rather than a solid live axle, which may be a good thing if you are towing in 2wd on pavement. I do believe the Dodge is urea-free for now still. The Ford has arguably the nicest interior if you go with a King Ranch trim (but I HATE the newer ford rear fenders on the bed, personally). I'm generally a Ford guy but noted they had a lot of problems with the the 6.0 when it went live nearly a decade ado. It seems the newest engines are better than the International they were working with back then. The Cummins is still considered a very proven design, though there are many that won't touch any of them with more than 12 valves. I'm generally very anti-Chevrolet, but I gotta admit, some of those power-tuned izusus I have seen online are damn tempting, and the older LB7s with a tune and the right gears and 2wd can hit mid 20s MPG on the highway.
