I bought a GMC after trying all of the big 3. The Fords I drove exhibited a lot of surge when the turbo kicked in. The Ram seemed to be quite a bit noiser and wasn't as nicely put together. Seemed like the workmanship was not as as good as GM or Ford. The Allison/diesel combo seemed like a perfect match, and handled downhills with heavy loads better than the other two. Finally, the step height into the GM was lower, making it easier to enter.
I am curious you say the GM handled downhills with heavy loads better than the other two.
Did all three let you hook up to the same load for your test?
Sorry I left out details, but yes, all pulled about the same loads. Company had a variety of TVs and we used gooseneck trailers to move backhoes and other fairly heavy construction equipment. All the vehicles were about the same age (2006 and newer).
I am sure you are happy with your new truck but how can you decide on a new truck by how trucks up to 8 years old performed?
