Loving my F-250 with the 6.7. If there is a negative, it's the ride which can be a bit harsh but remember this is a truck not a lincoln. However when weighted down with people & gear it rides impressively smooth. The interior is hands down a cut above the rest and personally I think the overall styling is tied with the Chevy/GMC.

It would be hard for me to buy a Ford based on price alone. I love my Dodge and I like Fords but when I built each of them just the way I wanted there was about a 16k difference.

Dodge makes disposable vehicles. If you can't afford something decent, save for another year and get a Ford or Chevy. You'll get double the extra cost back in resale. Nobody wants a new Dodge, much less a used one. They are several years behind on technology, power, and fuel economy.
Just my $. 02. I'm not overly brand loyal. I've owned them all and buy whichever is best at the time. Right now Dodge is a DISTANT third.

I recently was shopping all three and the ford was cheaper than the dodge. Chevy was cheapest then ford and dodge most expensive, unless you went with a dodge sl model.
I have also found that the ford is the only truck that will.get good mpg with factory set up. Dodge is horrible and so is chevy. I also have the itch for something new but hate to get rid of my 06 mega cab 5.9 with only 36k miles on it.

Did I mention I bought my truck at end of 05' when new 06' came out? Back then Dodge had best specs and fuel economy but were cheaper. I guess I just haven't had the need to look at new vehicles since my disposable truck isn't ready to be discarded yet.

This is a funny thread....ROFL.... It is amazing to see how bias people are. The fact is they all make very good trucks. Just pick the one you like and don't bash the others to make your personal choice seem better to you. A never ending battle!!!

The new 6.7 has a handful of HPFP issues and they are being investigated on a case by case basis with Ford and each dealership. To the best of my knowledge only 1 HPFP issues has been denied.
If you do decide on a new 6.7 Ford then look into the dpf delete tuning which also will remove the urea. Have many friend with 6.7's running H&S tuning with no dpf, no urea and no issues.
Something to consider.
