Wow, nothing like a Ford, Chevy, Dodge post to get things stirred up unintentionally :B.
I grew up in a Chrysler dealership, my school life among my peers was a nightmare, constantly bashing me over which vehicle is best, so I don't participate in those discussions as nobody wins. What is best is the one you personally like, if I recall, two of the US companies were so badly managed that we the people bailed them out with our tax dollars. One is now owned by the Italians, they still owe us 9.3 billion.
Love the Cummins in my 11 year old truck.
