Have to say when I see a 14 sierra next to any other truck it just looks so sweet to me. I love the squared off wells. Dare to be different !!!!
Good for you but I would have to say the opposite in that I think it is hideous! I was very brand loyal to Ford (owned 3 in the last 20 years), but we just bought our first Ram and we are loving it and the Cummins. The old notion that the Cummins is great and the Dodge wrapper sucks is long gone; the late model Rams are absolutely awesome, as is the Cummins. I would not be surprised at all to see Ram take second place in the relatively near future after experiencing this truck.
If I could offer any advice it would be to have a look at other brands of vehicles; you may be much better off in the long run than blindly being brand loyal!;)
I hope this goes without any offense taken!- I think the reason so many HD Fords are still on the road is the fact so many have become Fummins.
I actually drove a really cool Fummins F-150 a couple days ago. The guy put in a 4 BT Cummins with a 5 speed behind it. 28 mpg on a 300 mile trip over the Cascades in NW WA. MARK VANDERBENT wrote:

That there was funny... No Dodge errr... RAM HD truck on that list. :W- The haters have been denigrating Ford trucks for some time but the truth of the matter is that the total package is exceptional even with the 6.0 issues. With the F-150 getting a makeover next year I think Ford is poised to continue on top for a while longer. I do like what Ram is doing and think it will push Ford and GM to up their game also.

From your link "iSeeCars.com decided to see which cars are standing the test of time by doing an analysis of 30 million cars for sale on iSeeCars.com." This doesn't mean a thing, other then the Ford SD trucks are being sold.

I would say the report coming from a population of 30 million cars is statistically significant. :W
What also is significant is your statement proves ignorance is a bliss. :S
I wouldn't call it statistically significant when the source is skewed to a single sales site. I believe that a registration query from all 50 states would be far more statistically significant since that isn't really biased. Also, one could make some possible false conclusions... such as Ford owners wanting to dump errr sell their 6.0 and 6.4 liter trucks onto some other owner...Perrysburg Dodgeboy wrote:

I was shopping for the most truck for the money. Got my F250 for less than a GMC 1500 I was also shopping. After I got the truck I was able to buy a larger trailer than I had planned on so it was a win/win for me. The GMC was prettier, but that didn't matter to me.
