This, on the other hand...

The Tundra looks awesome, IMO but I can't seem to like the Titan's appearance.

Chevy had some issues with their first year of the latest generation of diesel, but they fixed them and it's a solid engine now with a great transmission. Ford just keeps switching engines every few years and it never feels like they get their diesels fully sorted.

I had an 03 Dodge with the Cummins and a m6. IMHO I believe you can't buy a better truck for an everyday driver and tow rig. I now own two LBZ Duramaxes and I like them both but as far as mileage goes they won't touch a Cummins :(. But as far as performance I would much rather have my Duramax . The new Fords have a nice interior and I have heard that their new trans is supposed to take 550 hp with no mods . Now that is impressive! I will still have to stay with my Duramaxes though cause I am just a GM fan at heart !

This is my stupid truck.
2004 Duramax/Allison. Edge Juice HOT, Diablo, 4" exhuast, AFE Torque Tube.
It's tons of fun, but I still like driving my Camaro.

Ya but I heard that a cummins in general fall apart easy. Not the engine but the truck itself and the parts?

I just think it's ignorance. Adding(note adding) 20" plus rims and 35+ in tires slows u down. Pure rotating weight. Jack it up, there goes drag coefficient. Oh but I have 900 ft lbs of torque....and 350 hp....

1/8 mile the tricks are fast. 1/4 they can hold there own. Anything after that, drag and rotating mass take over.
