My first choice was one of the GM twins. Untill I priced them out. Here in central Alberta a comparably equipped GM Duramax would cost me over $10,000. more than an F350 Power Stroke. I showed the GM dealer Fords quote and he said "why do you think they outsell us 4 to 1 in this town". Ram was out of the running because I haul a quad in the back and it only has a 6 ft. 4in. bed versus a 6ft 7in. bed on the others and I need the tailgate closed. My biggest complaint so far on the F350 is that stupid small fuel tank. 98 litres, are you kidding! Tow for 2 hours and look for fuel! But I knew that before signing on the dotted line. Enjoy your new wheels.
I do wonder about the small fuel tank. I will try it for a while, and if I need to I will upgrade to a Titan tank.
