If its not gonna work for a living then it doesn't really matter.
If it's gonna be a work truck then definately a Ford.
I manage a fleet of hard working trucks and all of the dodge's are gone. Not because we didn't like them, WE LIKE THEM. They just didn't stand up to the work load and cost more to keep together than they were worth. (Fuel pump $640) (Brake rotor $380) (pretty exhorbitant) They just kept breaking down all the time. It sucks to have this truck that you have to keep towing back to the shop once a week for something different everytime and can't make any revenue off of it, as it will be down for at least 3 days waiting for overpriced parts.
We still have all of the Fords. As much as the people moan and groan ( mainly because they want a new truck ) They just can't kill the old Fords.
Personally being a Ford hater, this has been an eye opening experience. The durability of the Fords is, well, as much as I hate to say it, impressive. Even the few chevy's we have out performed the Dodge's, but we don't have enough Chevy's to make a good apples to apples comparison.
My total fleet of pick-ups 63.
Oilfield Service Company (workover).

Ford has had the best built truck for years and dodge is starting to have more promising looking trucks. Im thinking dodge just might be the better truck now days because of the engine options.
