Which truck would you choose

Needing some advice and not wanting to start WWIII. I have narrowed down my choice of trucks. One is a 2006 f250 with 6.0. it has been gone through and bullet proofed at 227,000 and now has 236,000. No tuner and has never been used a tow vehicle. Trans has been serviced regularly and shifts very smooth but has never been rebuilt. He has all the receipts from engine work.
truck 2 is a 2008 dodge ram 2500 mega cab with 6.7 cummins and 68rfe trans, with 147,000.Engine has been egr deleted. trans is stock. no tuner has been ran on either trucks, both 4x4. i have never owned a diesel before. just wanting to know your thoughts on longevity of both drive trains. both trucks are very clean and been well taken care of. thanks in advance,steve
  • I was leaning that way myself,but I have never had either one of the diesels. But I had a 01 dodge and the trans was not very good. How is the 68rfe trans holding up. My new TT weighs 7000 dry. Thanks again
  • Dodge for sure. Newer, less miles, not a 6.0, whst's not to like?
    We had two 6.0 Fords at work, even when they were running I thought they were extremely loud and had poor handeling.
  • This is a no brainer....the Dodge. The Ford 6.0 is a notoriously bad engine. The Cummins is well known as a good engine.
  • I own a Ford 6.0 Diesel, I would go with the Dodge. If I were going with a gas motor hands down it would be the Ford 6.8 V-10
