I seem to do alot of sitting in a local Walmart parking lot of late driving MS DAISY around grocery shopping here in Virginia... I sure see alot of the older Dodge Truck diesels with duallys coming and going. Seems to be truck of choice in the Walmart parking lots haha... As with any of the diesel engines you can sure hear them coming long before you see them... It seems like Dodge is first choice, then Chevy, then Ford... I personally would pick the Ford interior having the best layout for comfort and driving features. Chevy/GM is probably the best all around truck... Dodge is probably the easiest one to find price wise at the truck dealers.
