Tim, come on man, you don't have to drive a certain brand to say that they're a good vehicle. You and I both know a cummins has way more power potential on a stock longblock than a Dmax ever thought about as well as the Ford 6.4. Of course once you start talking built motors the Dmax here lately seems to be holding its own with the cummins. GM used to have the best interior/exterior but in 08 Ford stepped it up and dodge did for the 2010 models. GM is falling behind, and I've only ever owned GM trucks my entire life, but I don't let that blind me to the fact that other manufacturers besides GM can make a nice pickup.

thats exactly what I'm saying. if gm came out with a new truck with more size and a different look, I'd like them too.

More size? Care to elaborate? I've thought that the interior on the 3 are similar jn size. But I guess I could be wrong.

heck no, gm crew cab is the smallest by far. F250s are the biggest(except maybe a mega cab dodge) then crew cab dodge, then wayyyyy down crew cab silvy. another reason I like the ford is because they are the only ones that have an actual separate platform for their HD trucks with huge dimensions. they dont just take a diesel and shove it in a half ton with a bodylift.

I dont mean to start a pissing contest, and Im pretty brand loyal to gm but I love dodges alot too, either way I dont think you have any idea what your talking about, have you drivin a ford for any amount of time? **** they fall apart in no time, i drive a 2010 f350 everyday at work and the thing is a peice of ****, gutless, everything on it rattles clunks and bangs, now I will agree in the trucks with the basic interior gm has to step it up for there newer models that will be coming out. Now heres how I know you dont know what your talking about, how the hell is the 2500hd and 3500 hd chassis not considered a seperate platform from the 1500?? because the cab and bed mounts are in the same location and the body is the same? look underneath the 2 and thats where the similiarties end. And as far as the size of the cabs go, i do find the ford is wider inside, but other then that it has no more room then the gm or the dodge, Ive spend a considerable amount of time in every truck, and theres a reason I stuck with the gmc, though I did almost buy a rcsb dodge ram. Maybe around there the gm is the cheapest but around here ford is the most exspensive and dodge and gm are priced almost exactly the same, but you see by far many many more gm trucks then fords or dodges, and the recession hasnt hit us nearly as hard as it has you guys so it definently isnt the fact that people are going with the chev because its "cheap", pull your head out of your ***

chevy cowboy I was obviously talking about the bodies and not the frames. and I don't know if your just an overweight fat ****, but silverados crew cab is considerably smaller the an f250 or the new crew cab ram. and yes I've spent countless hours in all three of them and I wouldn't sit in the back of my own chevy crew cab for more then 30 mins.

The GM cab is also 6" shorter than the Ford crew cab, that's a lot of leg room. How many people have you seen on here bitch about the squeeks and rattles in their nnbs? Quite a few and my family being in construction and oil field all I see are dodge and Ford being used for work trucks. Pretty sure there is a reason for that and atleast with the Ford its not because they're cheaper.

Everyone is saying GM is the cheapest of the three.... Here in Oklahoma they're practically giving fords away..... GM is the most expensive here.

The cummins kills the duramax and powerjoke hands down.
