Well looking at a Diesel truck 4x4 around 20s. Id love a brand new ram 2500 but i have to pay for college out of pocket next year. :bitenails:

At that price we looking at around 100,000 Miles

I want to know what you guys know about fords and chevys.
MPG and Reliability are my biggest things on the check list.

I drove a 2005 HD2500 diesel with like 140k miles and it drove super nice, I haven't driven a Ford with that many miles so im stuck on which to look for.. The fords do come lifted more often which is a plus..

lmk what you guys think is the better truck lol

silverado hands down!
Allison trannies ftw!

Both those trucks break in at like 100k miles lol.


with the price in mind you could most likely get a nicer lifted ford 250 though

08 ford

Im going to say the above craigs list link is a scam. Low life dousche bag scamer.

 

[KrackerXL]

thought so too but who knows ^ maybe instead of a one he meant a 2

 

[Diego V]

yeah dude that deal is way sick!! Unless he has like 200k miles its at least worth like 35k.

ok...if you are towing

I prefer the big fords for their chassis.
I prefer the big dodge for that cummins
I prefer the big chevy for that allison.

I have owned them all including an international cxt. .curently own a few ford 350s (including a lifted kingranch dually) and all my work trucks are dodge 3500s 4xd.

if i was buying a new truck...i would buy a dodge.

How about this... I wont be towing weekly, but occasionally. Maybe a couple trips to Mexico with some bikes/pre runners. Otherwise weekends quad on the back. I don't mind diesel since its only like .25 cents more a gallon right now than gas.
I will be looking at a nice 24-26ft enclosed trailer to haul the Rx3 in the future. So nothing to heavy anyways.

Im stuck between chevy and ford. I don't particularly like the Dodge truck, though the engine is nice.

 

[Bignmz04]

ford king ranch. best interior in a truck.

 

[Diego V]

so you think the 6.0 is a good engine? I always hear bad things about it but don't know first hand.

 

[Diego V]

here a couple good ones i found, probably gone by the time i get serious to jump on one..

RDC | race-dezert.com | 2005 f250 xlt fx4 diesel black on black 65k

RDC | race-dezert.com | Clean 06 Ford F250 Lifted Diesel

 

[Bignmz04]

well...you could always get a used 7.3.

those are bulletproof...and if you want a project....they do swap cummins into the fords...they call em fummins.

 

[Diego V]

well i don't mind an older one. Which do you think is a better choice?

 

[Bignmz04]

7.3

 

[Diego V]

Alright will look into one of those....

now this is what i really want!! They have a white one that they haven't been able to sell since early this year. $56k though lol

[Bignmz04]

the megacab is nice....lots of room..but sucks ass if you have a gooseneck.

are you opposed to dualls?

 

[Diego V]

yeah they are sick looking trucks. ill get a regular hitch trailer dont need anything bigger...

duallies, well i don't plant to haul anything large so probably don't need it.

 

[Bignmz04]

true...but they look cool lol...and the nicest lifted truck that i have ever seen was a few days back when a gentleman pulled up in a new black dodge 3500 with black wheels.
and all the emplems and bolts painted red..looked cool as hell...

 

[KrackerXL]

The new lowered chevy dullies with big ass wheels look sick. There's a guy by me with one and it's a matte grey color such a bad ass truck. He has rockstar wheels on it which I hate but they look super clean. Gunna snap a pic next time I see it. I think there's a camo wrapped one grey and black camo that I've also seen

I daily drive a lowered f350 dually that runs 12s...they are fun..but i prefer my wifes lifted kingranch dually a lot more...I will never buy a 2wd truck again.

 

[Diego V]

well see im gonna drive this truck to school!! lol and parking it may be a little complecated. I do like the look of some duallies but i don't need one just yet. I always wanted a older Dodge extended cab dually all slammed and murdered out. Get some nice black semi looking wheels on it too.
