Cummins guys

[8mpg]

There is a reason why fords cost more then Dodges. The fords are a lot nicer as far as the interior goes then the Dodges. Plus the Dodges have to be cheaper then the fords or they wouldn't sell any units if they are price the same. Even though they have a great engine most Joe blow guys that buys these trucks prefer comforts and neat shit over the most important things. Which Ford always out perform that over Dodges.

hmm... dont think I follow you there buddy. Which interior is nicer is 100% preference. The new Ford interior is nice but through 07 or so...they sucked. It was the same 2 spoke steering wheel, same radios, etc from 1996. I liked the Dodge interior a lot more until the new Fords came out.

And when did a truck become worth $50k? Why wouldnt Ford lower their price and put everyone out of business if their truck was that much better? To say Dodge has to lower their price to sell trucks is probably one of the dumbest comments in this thread.

price. When I bought my first 04.5 Cummins, it was the same price as a FX2 F150. The F250 was over $8000 more, and that was with the Skip hookup

Yeah I've never owned anything but 1 chevy duramax so I wouldn't know about either of those other two. Just repeating what I heard I guess. But yeah he works at a Ford dealership now. He's worked there for the last 4 years, but before that he worked at a dodge dealer fixing their trucks (for around 8 years) and he seems to be of the opinion that they're garbage compared to the fords. So even if the cummins is a good motor, like that one member said, they come in a shitty wrapper.

i havent had any complaints on the "wrapper", and with 265k on my 05 4x4 laramie, its still in great shape, but i do "use" my trucks for work so the drivetrain is the most important thing for me.

LOL...what I was thinking too, makes it only like $48K, right?

Wrong. I got mine for 38K pretty loaded.

Were Offroad Use only, wouldn't know about inspections

Only the 2011 Cab and Chassis Cummins has the DEF system.
Speaking from a tuner point of view, the 2010 6.7 Cummins is a strong motor and makes TONS of power with the right tuner.
And with whatever newer model Diesel you decide to buy hit me up and Ill get you a heck of a deal on a package deal!

Yeah I saw that the 3500 and up Rams have it only. Hmmm. Im wondering how you can tune these newer diesels now without failing inspection and voiding warranty now. Fucking EPA can suck it.

It looks like the Dodge though is the only one that doesnt have that DEF system. If I did anything mechanical, all I would do is put on a programmer and exhaust.

if you're leaving it stock, I would probably go with the Dmax... most comfortable, less expensive than the Ford, and the Dodge are fuck ugly

NEVER listen to said buddy again. all my cummins (5) of em are still running great 95-05 180k-410k miles.
my 6.0 ford diesel with 125k= broke , read up you'll soon find out, if you use your truck for what its intended buy a cummins, our ranch forman has traded in his duramax every yyear for the last 3 (all were bought new) for one problem or another, maybe he'll have better luck with the 2011, i'll stick with the cummins.

I was just reading about the new Uera and diesel fluid. FUCK THAT SHIT!

I like new trucks, so I do understand where you are coming from. My 06 was still worth almost $30k, so the new one wasn't that expensive. New truck every few years is worth the $15k loss.

My little brother has a 2010 crew cab 4wd slt and it was right under $41k.

If you price a sub 30k mile 09 just like his it is going to be mid high 30's, so whats another couple grand for new, and it is the new body style.

If buying new there is no way I'd buy anything other than a dodge, but that is just me. I purchased my 2010 F250 on pretty much price alone, otherwise I'd be driving a 10 model dodge. I really wanted a Denali 2500, but holy hell that's a lot of coin for a pickup.

For real?

Anyone who pays the price of a new diesel truck is a fucking idiot. That said, I'd like a new Ford.

Why the new Ford? And you bought your diesel new, whats the difference?
