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.

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.
