Get a 5.9 cummins with a manual, throw a aftermarket lift pump and some gauges in there and drive the truck until you die.

We have a 2011 Ford F-150 at work.  I must say it has been pretty reliable considering we already have 60K on it.  Doesn't drive real smooth but it's a work truck so what do you expect.  I have been surprised by the durability (now towing, and not much off road).  The one thing I have noticed is the seats in the back are super small and the seats in front are SUPER DUPER uncomfortable.  Also, the gas mileage on it is rediculously awful.  We split between highway and road about 45/65 and we only get 12 mpg on a good day.

Carl don't you have anything better to do than move these topics around?

 :) go to the NADA site, plug in the info for equal trucks, 4 door, 4x4, v8, same amount of miles, etc. then compare 10 year old values. I think you'll be surprised.

We got a toyota tundra crew cab rock warrior edition. We love it and it is supe roomy. The seats in the back recline some.

Tundra.  If you aren't towing I wouldn't spend the extra on a big diesel.

I love my crewcab D-max 2500hd. Rides like a cadillac, but I need a parking lot to turn it around in the woods.

Can't beat a hemi or a cummins so whats the question? Dodge ram dominates ford and chevy these days. And beats toyota :twocents:

Personally I don't think any one of the big 3 dominate the other. They are all good but they all have their downfalls. . Dodge and cummins are great till the front end wears out. Fords are great till the spark plugs seize in the heads. Chevys are great till the transmission craps out...my point is they all have their problems.
Ford diesel solves that. ;)
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
