Battle of the heavy weights

Ford, GM, Ram all make trucks that will pull heavy loads. Some will get to their destination a few seconds quicker than the other, but honestly, who races up hill's, with their RV in tow. I look for the most reliable and time proven engine. Thus i think that the Cummins engine fits my needs. Even Ford uses the Cummins engines in their larger trucks. So it must not be that bad.

In fact Ford uses...I believe...a version of the Cummins B series 6 cylinder diesel in their largest truck, the medium duty F 650.

The Cummins B series 6 cylinder diesel is the same family of diesels, just another version that is used in the Dodge pickup.

I've often wondered why Ford never used a version of their own power stroke diesel in their medium duty F 650.

GM, before they shut down their medium duty line of trucks, the 4500/5500 series.... used a version of the Duramax diesel, which of course is also used in the GM pickup line.

I'm not a brand loyalist. My view is that Ford, GM and Dodge pickups are all vehicles that you could not go wrong with...they're all good, IMO.
