F350, 3500HD, or RAM 3500?

I realize this question is akin to asking blonde, brunette, or redhead, but figured I'd inquire as to whether there are general differences in the big 3 as far as their prowess as a TV. It will be 4x4 and diesel, or course. Thanks in advance!

That new MS would look VERY good with my new boat. But I would guess that would put me WAY over length.


Do all those people with boats on lakes have engines in them, or do some just order them without engines? And hang out in the marina!

And can we talk about what wake boarders do to the water on lakes. Give me the old days of water skier back, with boats up on a full plane.

When I water skied behind my buddies E racing runabout flat bottom, we just waited for the tow rope to come tight and yelled "Hit it" and stepped onto the water on the old O'brien ski and we were off. That old ski popped flat on the water around 50MPH. 80 was scary, and you wanted to be outside the wake in case the boat stopped so you did not hit it!!!!

There might be a reason to buy a Ford or a Ram, like if your brother in law sells them, but otherwise you might as well get the best. Spelled GM.

Go with the redhead. And if you like a wide stable bootie, oops, bottom, get the dually.

"I would be willing to swap you trucks and trailers if you would like"

That is my 11 I traded in. If my 11 was the same as your 12 I would not have traded.

Here is a peek at the new MS we ordered sitting at the dealer in OK

Cummins12v98, arguing with the Fish is like wrestling with a pig in the mud. You soon realize he likes it. He waves that same old tired "built on foreign soil" flag, but continues to blame it on labor costs rather than on duty taxes and trade agreements.


Spin it however you like dshelley, but perhaps you should bring some facts to table as I did. :B

Perhaps "Made in the USA" means something to the OP, but it's obvious it not important to you.

A new 6.7 PSD engine made by Ford is not "Made in the USA" its a Mexican engine. Having said that, it don't really matter now days with a global influence in production. Hell Spain, England, China, Japan and even Italy build good products be it with American know how or not. I suppose not being made in Texas is a insult to some, but not the vast majority or the world. What's next, where is the Apple watch made.... Not in the USA so I suppose it won't sell :R


Made in the USA means something to me and is very important... But spin it however you like if that makes you feel good.

BTW... I not a fan of painted bumpers either!

White is the best. And personally, I would only get a dually if you NEED it for the weight you are towing. It can be a PITA otherwise.



Bionic Man you sure do have good taste in trucks and colors!

Look guys, if you want to buy the most American truck you can, it will have to be a half ton because Toyota doesn't make a 1 ton yet =)!


The F150 is the most American made truck...

Fish is so pro Ford that he actually believes the F in F350 stands for Fish.
