Default New Car Fever

Well actually, new truck fever. I have been looking at new trucks. I have narrowed it to either the Dodge Cummins 3500 4X4 dually or Ford F250 Powertroke 4X4 King Ranch.

The Mrs loves the truck we have now, but ya know how it is when you have the new car fever.

Here are the options...

2008 Cummins 3500 4X4 dually...



2008 Powerstroke F250 4X4 King Ranch...



or keep my 2006 F250 4X4 Lariat...

I like the one you have now, but if you have to get a new one, I'd say the Ford.

Oh, and the Bucket looks awesome on the trailer. How much did that run you?

How much was the trailer? That was the first car trailer I ever bought. It was an 18' Magnum Big Tex that I bought new in 2007 and it was $2K. I old it awhile back and bought a bud's Wells Cargo 22' enclosed. I got spoiled quickly with the enclosed trailer.

the 6.0's suck, but the 6.4 sequential turbo is a big improvement, fords never really built a big power diesel and their gas engines suck IMO, I love the old cummins, not so much for the new cummins(just as many problems as the 6.0s Fords)

Im ASSuMEing that the 06 is diesel, I would get the new powerstroke to get out from under the 6.0 before it gives you any trouble

I like the looks of yours better then the new fords,but likeGhostriderSaid you may have some problems down the road with yours. 6.0 was not that good of an engine.
Maybe better off to get the powerstroke.Whatever you do don't get the dodge, Ford FTW!
