That all depends on old or new to me. I have had several mid80's trucks and I would not have a ford or dodge back then. I still have a 79 one ton chevy dually that I pull my car with. If I bought a new or newer truck, if would have a to be a f250 or f350 no question about it. They look better and out perform chevy now in my opinion.

Speakin from experience.......

I got an 05 F350 with the 6.0l diesel. I t has a chip and after market exhaust and intake on it and it does pull really good. However, The new 6.4l diesels I have heard nothing but good things bout them. I heard that they pull like the old 7.3l that ford had back in the day.

Oh and just in case you didnt see I got a pic of it in my racespace and on my avatar.lol

Back in the 80's the little town I grew up in was 99% Chevy. I was one of very few guys that drove a Ford. You couldn't make me ride in a Chevy.
I even had a hat that said " I'd rather tote a Ford hubcap than drive a Chevy!! My old buddies still cant believe that I have a Chevy and my race truck has a Chevy motor.
The really strange part is most of them now drive Fords :shock:
To be honest I've always been a little backwards.

until you have to work on them. My nephew has a 2000 f150 4wd and I had to work on it a little...it's like a van. The engine is way back under the firewall. :?

I do agree with you on that to a point. My 05 F350 the last set of cylinders is back in the firewall. It makes it a pain to change the injectors on that thing. Also they put so much chit on top of the engine you have to pretty much removed the top just to take off the valve covers.
