I would have one very hard time on that one.
I believe the Duramax is the better engine but can't stand the looks of the GM products.
I like the looks of the Fords a lot more than the GMs but don't trust the engine.
Where does that leave me?

I am a die hard ford guy.....Before my purchase last weekend I owned a 2004 F-150, 1995 Mustang GTS and a 1983 Mustang GT (drag car). I use a 2008 F450 with a 6.4for a work truck and I wouldnt own one. I didnt know enough about the duramax and knew tons of people with dodges, that what I based my descion on. If I had to chose it would be a Chevy.

Drove 2 diff 6.0 for work and left me on side of road numerous times. My wife (I) owns a 2004 Dmax and we love it. Still love my CTD a lot more, but no complaints about the Dmax.

I've been driving a '92 Rally Van with a 6.2 in it lately. Although it is gutless, I'm learning to like that motor, really good on fuel.
And you can't beat the GM ride, so I would look for a GM crew cab with a 6.2 (no electronics) and a 4l80 (4 speed with lock up) in it.

You could not even give me a Ford. If I was forced I would drive it straight to the lot and trade it in. I hate the new Chevy body style, but would still take that over a Ford. Please dont make me switch.
