Giving the graduating son my '04 Chev Z71. Never owned a Ford but started looking (my partner in the cattle operation is a Ford dealer and of course he encouraged this). If I went Chev. I would get the HD 2500. So I started looking at the Ford. Never owned one. This monster is sitting in my garage being considered. I never thought I would like a diesel. This 6.0 powerstroke seems awesome. Also, I am 6'6'' and like lots of room. Here is where it gets interesting. The chev. HD 2500 (gas) can be bought for about $34,500, diesel bout $39,000. The Ford as described is $37,100. All of these trucks are loaded (Silverado/Lariat packages, 4X4......etc). Just looking for some input.
