I'm in the market for a new 3/4 ton truck. I had been favoring the
Dodge2500 but the new Ford looks pretty damn good. Never really been a
fan
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've owned both Ford and Dodge 1 ton duallies. My preference of the two is
the Dodge. You'll get more features for the cash that you lay out, and my
Dodge had a lot more "umph" to it than the Ford did.

I noticed that you are looking for a 3/4 ton. Do you just not want the dual
rear wheels or is it another reason? Up until lately the Dodge 1 ton was not
available without dual rear wheels, but it is available again now with the
single rear wheels. Not a bad choice. Their 3/4 ton is pretty strong, too.

My only recommendation if you decide to go with a Dodge is to stay away from
the V10 unless you've got unlimited cash to purchase gas. Mine got an
average of 7 to 8 MPG around town, and about 9 or 10 on the highway. It was
incredibly strong, though. Especially when compared to Ford's V10. You
wouldn't even feel your boat behind my 1 ton with the V10.

I'll be honest - the only reason that I bought the V10 instead of the diesel
was because my ex-wife "didn't like the smell and they're too noisy." My
mistake, I should've got rid of her before I bought the truck.
