We'll have to agree to disagree.

Cummins has it's place, but it is old tech (sometimes a good thing).

I'm on my second Scorpion 6.7 and I wouldn't consider a Cummins, primarily due to the far-superior cab and NVH of the F-250.

I'm completely fine with that.

I just don't understand how old (reliable) tech has to fall to Ford? Really and truly I'm not sure what makes fords 6.7 so "innovative" other than they have lined it out with emissions and started cranking out ridiculous numbers that nobody in this thread will ever use.

NVH? I'll let you have that one because it's strictly user preference, and I've rode in them and they are indeed quiet.

Indeed.

Thanks for not being all "Because F-250 truck nuts rule" about it

I have all foreign cars now, but I wouldn’t touch a Ford product over a Ram, Toyota, or GMC.

Everyone I know with a diesel F-250 has had major issues that required very expensive repairs. Most of them were dumb enough to buy another one only to have a very similar nightmare all over again.

Just switched from Ford to a 2019 Limited. None of the rest compare when it comes to the interior.

I don’t get that appeal of “really nice” truck interiors. 90% of the time I am covered in some combo of seawater, sand, sweat, fish guts, and blood.

I’d hate to feel like I had to baby it that much. Sure you can but seat covers and stuff but that kinda defeats the point.

Alot of it depends on why you need the truck. If its just a daily driver and you just want a truck ... then any or all of them will be great. It all depends on ride and gadgets at that point for you. If its towing then there are some things to consider.

If you are looking for a 1/2 ton, I know you didn't mention it in the OP but I would look at a Tundra. I had one for 10+ years. Ran perfectly. The only time it was in the shop was for maintenance. Towed my 8900lb travel trailer great ... gas mileage sucked towing but that will be true for most of the 1/2 models.

If you are going to do towing then I would look to Ford or GMC ... the Ram actually has less payload than you would expect for a truck. I was actually considering a Ram 2500 when I bought my F250 this year but the payload is really small for a 3/4 ton compared to ... well everyone else.

Personally there was something about the GMC that I didn't like - at least in the 2500 models. I honestly don't know what it was I just drove it and said nope. I know folks that have GMC's and love them.

I have been in the 19 Ram for about a year and I have zero complaints. My decision came down to interior and ride. Ram was better in both IMO.

Does Kia even have that kind of vehicle in the US lineup anymore? All the Kia rentals I've been in the last few year have been fairly nice for fleet vehicles.

Well most people aren’t covered in all that shite 90% of the time. You should be in the bed of any truck. Not the cab.

Swing and a miss kid at trying to be too “baw” with your act.
