Having had like 15 Chevy trucks, last being a new ‘05 LT Duramax Diesel HD2500 loaded - get a Ford. Don’t buy from Gov. Motor Corp. Never!
Dodge has great engineering, great ideas, great features & looks. BUT, the quality just isn’t there like in Ford.
Really a no-brainer. Ford’s are best trucks made today. 10 years ago, it wasn’t so. Today it is. And they are not gov. owned. I now drive a Ford after 30+ years of Chevy’s and GM’s........

While the Fords (F250/350’s diesel)are certainly good work trucks, I’m surprised no one has mentioned Dodge Ram’s with the Cummins. I have a Ram 3500 Dually with the Cummins and used to be a huge GM fan. The Dodge kicks as$. The truck has 138K miles (2005) and I’ve only done oil changes and front u-joints. The engine is amazing - would pull down a house! The only dually I’ve ever owned that will leave a skid of 4 tires from a stand still. Unbelievable power and torque. It tips the scales at over 7100 lbs, can tow 23,000 lbs, and gets 22 mpg. Oh, and its a quad cab.
The Ram 2500 with the Cummins is awesome too. A 2005-2008 would be in your price range, and would go 300K miles easy!
Good luck!
