Default If you had to leave it stock....

Out of the big three, who would you buy and why?

My choice would be the duramax. I don't do a lot of off roading or tow a lot of weight. I love the ride the IFS gives you. The duramax has a lot of bloody ***** out of the box and the allison has been pretty much dialed in for city and highway driving.

LOL, i'd never leave it stock tho.

i'd go duramax, my cummins was wayyy to slow stock for my taste, but the dmax i had stock wasn't too bad! and the ride is so much better than the dodge

All of my truck & suv have been stock, I like the looks, strong frame of the F O R D. I don't race, tow, or pull.

anything after 06 has the auto in it in the dmax and ford stopped putting the manual in so that does leave dodge if you want a brand new truck with a manual trans
