New Canadian Needing Diesel Power
:argh:new to the diesel thing and just wondering what to buy duramax or dodge i'm not a ford guy
|
:howdy: Welcome
I could tell you all day long what to buy or what I would buy. They both have there good and bad what you need to do is go drive them both and make your decision based on what you like. :pca1: |
Dmax all the way brother :up2:
Welcome to DB :hi: |
Definatly Dmax.. Welcome to the site.:c:....Where are ya?:humm:
|
:hi: think redpatcher said it right drive both and see which you prefer
|
Dodge after all the Cummins is the best.
:hi: welcome to DB glad to have ya |
I'm located in Calgary, this truck I need is going to be a family unit as well so i'm more curious what the two are like right out of the box like torque and milage etc...
am I even talking in the right place or should this have started somewhere else in here? |
This is the welcome forum, but its all good, im sure the boys will chim in,, It depends what you want.:humm: Id go take each of them fo a test drive,, and go from there personaly. and the fords arent so bad either really.. they have great space in them, for a family the back seat in a f350 is very roomy...... the dmax no so much and the dodge a bit more then the dmax.....I have three teenagers and a baby so space was an issue for sure.perfomance and looks.. well im just bias to the look of the dmax...the older styles not so much the new ones..lol

I love my Cummins I was a Chevy girl to the bone (still have a 78 silverado 4X4 ranch truck) until I test drove & extensively researched Ford, Chevy & Dodge. The Cummins I wanted was a 1200 mile round trip to purchase. I wanted that one that bad. Mind you I am not one to travel unless I am on my way to a fire. I will never forget gettin leavin the dealer & gettin on the freeway on ramp with my daughter & I (we snuck off & bought the truck when my husband was out on the road workin) we were ear to ear grins with the power of that truck & I used to help hubby build & race 1/4 mile cars so speed is not anything new to me. It was just that Major Adrenaline RUSH of pure Torque & Power. omg I could go on & on but I will use self discipline & stop lol
Take the trucks you are thinkin about & take em on a test drive with the family or rent one for the weekend if that's an option where you live. Goodluck I am sure you will be happy with whatever diesel you choose ;) |
I think it was diesel power mag that did a head to head comparison of the new trucks for 08, in the end tha D-max won out overall, power, torque(by like one or two numbers over dodge and a good 50 or so over Ford), looks they said ford was best, as well as brakes, and dodge got the vote for best towing performance, but IMO? I would go with a D-max everytime....
But, I am biased too, I like GM over Dodge, and I cannot stand a ford... but that is just me.... :humm::w2::U::pca1: |
