I own a Cummins Dodge and can say you won't find a better tow rig. My truck has a fortune in aftermarket goods to make it an absolute beast. Knowing what I know now I think the buyer who just wants to buy a truck and use it should buy a Chevy with a Duramax/Allison. My truck will out tow a Chevy the way I have it modified but most guys don't want to deal with a 6 speed manual. A Chevy in stock form works awesome and will last a good amount of time. People that say a Duramax will blow the heads off and an Allison is not reliable are misinformed. I would consider myself a serious dieselhead and wouldn't steer someone the wrong direction. Fords...If they have an intercooled 7.3 then they are worth owning but their auto tranny is no better than a Dodge auto. The 6.0's and the twin turbo trucks are just plain POS's no if's an's or butt's! I have friends with all of the brands and the Chevy and Dodge guys have nothing bad to say but all my Ford friends spend a good amount of time at the dealership and complain about poor mileage. Eric
