New Truck to Pull a Landmark??

My Ram has pulled our 40'er for years.

The new ford 6.7L diesels are amazing. worked on the diesel side of the shop for 2 years at a dealership only issues we really had was the radiator leaks driver side where plastic and aluminium come together. and the EGR systems on the boom trucks that sit and run the PTO all day.

past that never had any 6.7L in for any other issues really. They have a ton of power as well.

any of the current 1ton duallies from Ford, GM or Ram will more than do the job - these aren't your 1ton's from 10-15 years ago, they have been seriously upgraded.

I'm a little Bias towards the Ford product as its what I own but all three are very good, buy the one that you like best with confidence.

It's 41 feet and heavy. I rode in a Dodge the other week and the truck actually came equipped with a Jake Brake. It is straining my current 05 F350 so I was thinking of getting a F450 if I go with the Ford.

NNK

BTW it's now "RAM".

I tow 33-35K combined with my 15 RAM Dually with 4.10's and AISIN Medium Duty trans. I also have factory rear air ride, VERY nice!!!

I am at or within all my ratings, tows and handles the load with ease in aLL weather and road conditions. RAM, not your Fathers Dodge!!!

Go try out a LongHorn have them lower the rear tires to 35 and take a test ride. YES 35 is MORE pressure than is needed for an unloaded DRW truck.

Another thing to do is pop the hood on all three, that should help with your decision.

Agreed.... Paying special attention to the oil filter access if you service your truck.

When I look down at my CTD I can see the ground. Can you?

After 5 years and 125k miles and not a single repair on my PSD.... And being able to view the ground is a selling point...Yeah OK

Go change the oil on a 2016 CTD and give us a full report!

The new ford 6.7 has a nice and easy to get at oil filter and fuel filter is pretty simple as well.
