looking to replace my 08 diesel with a new one. Anyone with a newer ford or dodge care to share their experiences good and bad?

Don't know all that much about the brand new diesels but I have a 2007.5 with 6.7! No problems with it and it is very powerful! IMO, I would go with the Dodge! I get 23 mpg on highway, have gotten more than 25!!

I think Ram is the only truck that does not require pee juice.

Stick with Chevy/GMC

I own both a Silverado 3500 HD 4 X 4, and GMC Denali 3500

Run them hard, and never had an issue...

new Rams require Urea starting with 13 model. Bonus is if they run out they do not go into limp mode.

the dodge is light years ahead on features and the interior is much better than i believe even the new 14 gms. Just need to take a long hard look at the nose to make sure i like it. different colors look better but i wish it did not have all that chrome. The def supposedly allows les egr and get better fuel mileage and allows for more agressive tuning from what i read on the dodge. No fuel cap on the 13 the tank self seals. I have an 08 gmc and i had the front diff go out at 21k and i use 4wd maybe 6 times a year to back my snowmobile or car hauler up. I am gonna look at all three this time. If I buy a gm in a couple of months it will look like i am driving my 08 still and the interior is crap functional but crap. I would have to wait till jan-feb for the new hd with extended cab. gm is dropping the ball again and just barely catching up to the competition with their restyle as far as interior goes

Doesn't the new Dodge also come with HID headlamps and a programmable driver information center in color?
One of the features I liked on the 2500 I used to have is the ability to run the TPMS in low pressure mode.

Dodges are roomy,comfortable,and ride excellent! My son n law who is mainly ford and chevy man just traded his chevy truck in for a new Dodge after test driving one!
