Best of the big 3?

My two Cents...

Diesel engine: Cummins. Duh. The 7.3 powerstroke is probably 2nd.

Gas engine: Big fan of the old Fords. Short stroken big blocks baby!

transmission: Any old 4 speed. This new stuff just aint cuttin it. burnout

drivetrain: Not a chevy, IFS is weak with more moving parts.

frame: Either. I have yet to see a frame wear out.

suspension: My dodge rides like a pickup. Thats what I like. I havent ridden in enough brand new trucks to compare.

Exterior: The big fords have always looked good. My favorite is the mid 70's fords and 94-02 dodge.

Interior: From an accessories stand point. Fords have always had more room to mount the two way radio, cell phone and CB for the contractor. GM's are way to tight and does kind of resemble a cadillac. I think a dodge is somewhere in the middle.
