I wanna add more about commercially used pickups.
Dodge being #1, most are still run older 5.9 cummins, its the most simple unchanged. Those who have upgraded from what I hear have problems with the new trucks.
I do believe the GM diesels trucks are gaining ground. The new trucks just have less problems than the others.
Ford seem to be mainly 7.3 engines and those driving the newer ones I just haven't seen them around for long.
Most Dodges with the 6.7 have the emissions deleted and practically all are backed by a manual transmission.
I'm seeing more and more 6.7 powered Ford DRW trucks towing goosenecks with oil field equipment back and forth to south Texas. I hear the improved fuel economy is a big reason.
It's very rare that I see a GM DRW truck so I can't say there making a comeback.
