Duramax is king of the mountain again

I read this thread from start to finish.
I love all the comical comments. Everybody has their Favorite truck.
I started with a 96 dodge cummins single cab. moved into a 99 quad cab 4X4 Bombed the **** out of it. Still own it however it lives in another state and when I go to that other state it starts right up with the first turn of the key. Still my favorite truck. My Alaska truck was then a 07 classic Duramax 6.6 diesel/Allison Truck was ok but I was continually having to put Ball joints and tie rods yes I drove it hard. But the DW decided she did not like the Chevy D/A for some reason. I bought a 13 ram 3500 4x4 6.7 CCSB CUMMINS WITH THE Asin tranny. This truck rides like a luxury car and can pull buildings down. when in normal towing up grades the transmission is seeking the sweet spot all the time. I shift it to manual and leave it in 4th gear and it will power up any grade and accelerate. I am bonding very well with this truck and the DEF is no issue at all. I cannot speak with any useful opinion on ford diesels because I have never owned one. however my father who is a lifelong die hard ford owner who has a 2012 CCSB 3500 4x4 ford loves my 13 ram enough after riding with me that he is looking at the new rams for a purchase. yes I pull trailers with my truck and a 3500 is a bit of a overkill for what I use it for. But I could not be happier with my 2013 with 35000 miles and 0 issues except a few recalls. Just my 2 cents worth. Not trolling.
Have a great day.
