[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 3077253, member: 43171"] I'm a guy who switched from the 7.3 powerstroke to the 6.7 cummins in 2010. I don't care for Chevy myself although it does have a better ride. Depends on what your gonna do. I know a few big ranches that buy at least 5 new trucks each year. One has always been Ford and one has always been Chevy. Both switched to Dodge this year because the Dodge could be bought for way less. I have always liked the the interior of the Ford better but I think it's tough to beat the cummins on dependability. I spend a few hours every morning climbing in and out of feedtrucks. The Chevy regular cab/large dash combo makes this very unpleasant. I'm currently feeding in a 12 Dodge reg cab and have plenty of storage behind the seat while I have tons of leg room. Like I say, it all depends on what your gonna do with it. For me, the 6.7 Ford seems like it has been a success so I would probably consider going back to them. But, word is a Dodge can be bought for 10k less than a Ford. I also heard Ford shrunk their 100k warranty to 60k but I haven't investigated that. We have a 15 Chevy feedtruck here also that's a reg cab (the other ranch hands feedtruck). I absolutely hate getting in and out of it. The ranch owner offered to buy me a new feedtruck last fall, I asked what brand, he said probably a Chevy, I said thanks but I will stick with this beat up 12 Dodge. [/QUOTE]
