I'm in the market for a new 3/4 ton truck. I had been favoring the

of Chevy.
Anbody have one of the newer 3/4 ton trucks? The main use of the truck will
be to haul my 78 Bayliner Saratoga - one heavy ass boat.

I traded a 2003 Ford F-250 6 liter diesel for a 2000 F-250 7.3 liter
diesel if that tells you anything. The specs look good, but it
doesn't haul worth a damn. And the newer truck leaked like a sieve.
I wasn't pleased with all the oil, tranny and engine, on the driveway.
The kicker was when the oil filter came loose - I was REALLY impressed
with that one.

I know some folks with the Dodge and they seem pleased with them as
well as a couple of guys who have the 3/4 ton Chevy with the Vortec
V-8s.
