No I would not do that for any reason and to me the customers won that battle because the trucks are very good. Almost as good as our 05. I really think the only place that even cares who wins the test are on this forum. It is just mentioned most places I read.

Actually, not just this forum...also the cummins forum, thedieselplace forum and I would "assume" the Ford forums, (don't know about them, I don't frequent the Ford forums), oh, also TDR forum, AND almost every place I've seen the write up's where you can leave a comment, you have the same bantering with the Ford, GM and Ram crowd....so, just saying, Yeah, it must mean something because I've seen quite a bit going back and forth among Ford, GM and Ram owners about these and other test...Reminds me of being a kid on a playground and someone arguing over who was going to get to swing next, or whose toy belonged to whom or who had the nicest bicycle....nothing ever changes, whether we like it or not....it's human nature,..I belonged to the "winning crowd", owning a Chevy until 2010...if it would have made that much difference to me, I'd never purchased another brand truck and would have stuck with Chevy, so to some, it's more important than to others...Something we may as well get use to...Some will attack a brand no matter what as we've seen in here, some will go out of their way to make ugly comments on such a silly topic and get into name calling, going as far as calling others "stupid" and "idiot"...sad, truly sad...would be nice if we saw this much dedication for an inanimate object be shown toward our country in patriotism and caring about others...but again, common sense isn't so common now a day's....
