I grew up with Chevy trucks and Dodge cars.
Went to Fords when Chevy went to IFS.
I then went to Dodge/Ram/Cummins when the Ford Powerstroke 6.0 issues came around (we had one in an Excursion)
I've been happy with my local dealership for the last 2 Dodge Rams and looking at a new 2015 now for the 14K GVW and 29K trailer capability.
One of my buddies just got a new Ford 350, very nice truck.
Just go drive them all with your family in tow. In person looking and actually driving for 10 minutes is worth 50 hours of web browsing.
