Agreed on that. But at the same time I have seen a couple of articles in diesel magazines (so take away the brand bias) that had the same outcome. I personally think the LML is the best one out on the market right now.

All 3 of the new trucks are nice, and any one of us would drive it if it was given to us. I think Ford and Chevy are so close it's becoming hard to compare. The LML SHOULD be better than the new 6.7 powerstroke. The same basic 6.6 has been out for what, 10 years to the public in the 2500 platform? I'd say it's had some time to get perfected. This is the first year for the 6.7 powerstroke, and I'd say a strong runner up front. Cummins has been able to coast by on a rock solid foundation and a good enough motor to pass emissions over and over with little research/development in any sort of emissions, but I think both of those things are catching up with them now. I'm sure they'll do something new to help it out.

I have been pricing out new trucks. Ford is the most expensive then Dodge then Chevy.

I looked at the chevy I cant stand the truck, it may be a great motor and have a great trans. But I just don't like the truck. The one I looked at had leather moonroof everything. seats were to soft. Just not the truck for me.

I loved the ford exterior/interior. Empty I thought it felt snappier then the chevy up intill 3000 rpm. 3000 RPM I thought the Dmax felt stronger.

I would buy another Dodge but I don't want 2 of the same trucks. I like a little variety. So I am looking for a new F350 King Ranch. Hopefully I will have on in a few days. I cant believe how chevy use to have such a nice interior and now they have what they do.
