Ford or Dodge?

Some of the roads here in FEB-APRIL when the frost is coming out of the ground are brutal, I drive 12 miles around some of them, if you drive a car down them you will tear the bottom off of the car.

In the summer a 3/4 ton truck rides pretty well but come winter you want IFS around here..

I run a blade maintaining 50 miles of gravel roads. I intimately know frosted roads.

So it was cheaper for you to buy a new truck than use the current HD truck? I'd like to see the math please.

Where did I say it was ever about money for me??

I own several pu's…

I didn't either. But several are telling me they can't imagine daily driving a truck that only gets 15mpg. That's definitely about money.

Were you one of those guys? Can't remember because the waters are getting very cloudy by those justifying their path.

My F250 and 350 didn't ride to bad because of the weight of the diesel but I bought a 6.2 gasser in 2012, that thing rode like a buck board..

Yes, I said that and it's true... My daily driver pu is a wheel barrow truck (read Colorado) and going from 22 to 24 down to 15 is out of the question!!

Like all of my tools, I use what ever "tool" is best for "that" job... I just don't always sell an old tool, to get a new tool.

MY reference wasn't I needed a new pu because of gas milage or to save money on gas, it was/is, IF I'm buying a new pu, it's NOT going to be a gas guzzler for a ----------> daily driver pu!

How many miles per day do you drive?

You guys need to talk to my 14 year old.

He's never owned a Chevy, Dodge or a Ford truck (and neither have I), but gosh darn it, this boy knows everything about trucks and which one he's going to buy and why.

Took him on a drive this morning and he was explaining all of this to me.

I'm amazed at how much kids know these days.

When you post sarcastic things like this you need to use smiley faces so we know you are kidding.

Maybe I'm old school Owning 460's all my life but I was happy with my 01 7.3 getting 12 mpg as a daily driver. Crew cab dualy . I do about 100 miles a day. My son drives my v10 daily that gets maybe 10 mpg. He does about 60 miles a day. My wife excursion is our economizer that gets around 18 mpg. I might spend a lot in diesel but I haven't had a payment in 15 years.:dance1::cool2::drink:
