Lets look at the fact, generally speaking, ALL the truck manufactures are selling more rigs than in late 08 to into the early 2010 time frame. Employment is up etc etc.
At the end of the day, drive the rig that fits you ASSet the best, beyond that, ALL of them are better trucks than my first NEW truck back in 81. A 2500 GMC with a whopping 105hp 292 I6, and maybe 275 lb ft of torque. Now the 4.3 V6 from GM, puts out numbers BETTER, yes BETTER than the 4bbl 454 in 81, 195/330 specs or there abouts.
