for those of you that have owned both or those who have switched what is your opinion on build quality between Dodge and Chevy?

 

i was all hot any horny for a new 2011 dodge ram sport rcsb, but changed my mind and went back to a chevy. IMO the dodge had great power and a nice ride, but the body felt like tin-foil. happy i went with the chevy they feel like a better built truck overall
just my .02

 

I agree ^ when first shopping for trucks I decided I didn't like how dodges or fords looked, and especially didn't like how their doors and body felt. Just seemed flimsy and thing compared to chevy body parts. Felt like one good hard closing of an f150 would snap the door off.

 

I have owned both and ridden in a NNBS twice a week for 2 years now and I believe the dodge is built just as nice as the chevy is inside and looks better outside

 

i like corndogs.

 

Depends what year you're talking about. A few years ago, we drove all three major trucks and found the dodge to have crap interior, then, dodge upgraded a coup,e years later and it was night and day difference.

If we are talking new, 2011s, dodge and fors just upgraded their interior and exteriors again and look great, while chevy is behind the curve.

That said, year after year, after chevy finally went to the 6.6 Duramax diesel, it out performs the competition in every single class of trucks. You can argue all you want, but outside of the SS line of vehicles (chevy seems to come up short on those every time to Dodge) the numbers are there to prove it. It kind of pissed me off for a long time, because I love the ford design and the newer dodge interiors too.

 

Thanks for the inputs so far.....I am talking about 2011+ Dodge vehicles.

 

the new ones are some of the nicest interior I've seen.

 

Yeah, my buddy has a new dodge and sitting in his truck, I am a little jealous. I know my truck will run his all day, but it still hurts to see how nice it is inside. lol

 

I know from mid 90's to 07sih they have had problems with the dashes cracking in the trucks, I know numerous owners with these issues, but i cant speak for the newer ones..
