What are you looking for? Is gas prices an issue? Do you want reliability? Four wheel drive? limited slip or posi? Lots of questions

I've driven Dodge, Ford, and Chevy all for work. My personally owned truck will always be a 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.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
