I had a Chevy HD with a 6.0 and now have a F250 with the 6.2. The F250 is a better TV but it is newer 15 vs. 03 so the comparison is not really fair. The F250 also has a much better 6 speed vs. 4 speed in the HD. I went with a Ford this time because I couldn't find a middle trim line in the Chevy with the 6.0. They were either the work truck and white or an over the top LT with leather. I bought an XLT with everything I wanted. Both trucks are fully capable you will need to drive and see for yourself which one fits you better. GO SOX!
