Pros/Cons Chevy vs. Ford 1 Ton Diesel 4x4
I am not intending to start a flame war, but just curious on the pros and cons of the two brands. I am likely going to buy a 2016. I know each must have its "issues" and strengths and each will have ...

Well, if you wait a bit, you can probably get the Ford on an excellent discount. 2017's are almost here and they have an all new body style (again this only applies to Ford).
However, both vehicles have an exhaust brake setup. Both have robust transmissions. The Chevy has a box'd frame, which will have less flex while the 2016 Ford still has a C-channel. The Chevy will be more rigid frame-wise while the Ford will have more flex. I would personally be torn between the two, but I do give the nudge towards Ford because the ergonomics in the cab fit me better. But then I prefer a rigid chassis since frame flex can be an issue in some forest roads I like to drive on. If this was the 2017 Ford vs. 2016 Chevy, then Ford easily. The 2017 has a box'd chassis that resolves my only real complaint on the Ford (aside from the CP4 pump on both those trucks).
