So .... what's your thoughts? Let the "war" begin!
So here are my 2 thoughts...

No and No.
I really am interested in hearing the "opposition" (non-GM owners) what their thoughts are.
And I am reading everything.
FYI, I have a test drive scheduled for a Chevy 3500 dually today (Monday) at 4:30. They also sell RAM, and saw a 3500 in their parking lot too yesterday. I may try both tonight and see what happens. However, driving to the dealer lot yesterday, I am more in favor of Chevy, it had some features we really liked. I have my shell also, I want to make sure it fits. Paid almost $2000 for it new many years ago, and do want to keep using it. If it won't fit the Ram, I probably not consider the RAM. However, if the bed rails of the Chevy are too high, I may disregard the Chevy also. The truck with shell still has to fit inside my garage and height is the issue. On my current truck, I had to cut the ladder rack "tips" off the back because they were too tall and hit the top of the garage door. I have about 1/2 inch clearance, and when there is ice in front of the garage door, I have to clear it off, or the extra height of ice on the drive way raises the rear tires where the 2 remaining "tips" will hit! I use that shell way too much to just toss it out! So, have to consider this also.
Still, I'm weighing in on all 3 brands! (unfortunately, it seems there's not much enthusiasm for Ford here. The excitement seems to be Ram!)
Thanks, I appreciate the responses! Gives me more to think about!
