[QUOTE="rooster740, post: 862142, member: 10582"] Congrats on the Chevy. I will say I am a cummins guy. The older dodges had great engines but the trucks were junk! In 2003 Dodge finally built a pickup that the front end would stay under. I feel like the new fuel is part of the reason for poor fuel mileage. I have always bought Dodges, but last fall I decided to go shop all brands. I had roughly $47,000 to spend. Not long ago that would buy 3 nice pickups! I test drove a Chevy dually with the Duramax the truck was very basic! I could not afford, the bottom of the line Chevy, and it was very bare bones! The ford had great power, but they all do empty, and was nice inside. The mid level ford dually was $56,000! Hmm, a guy does not want to bounce a check that big! Dodge got my money. So far the stock dodge 2013 4500 gets better fuel mileage pulling my 19,000 pound tool trailer 10-11 mpg, then my deleted 2009 dually with hubs, 9-10mpg. My 2005 srw 3500 get 8-10 mpg loaded or empty and is stock but pulls hard. Weird truck! My dads 2005 got ways better mileage but mine always pulled harder. Both were 6 speeds with the same rearend.
