I'm a GM fanboy through and through. BUT, the best diesel truck is the one that does what you need and you can afford. Period.
I'm a Ford guy and can agree. Anyone of the big 3 will do what 95% of customers need them to do. Tech has made them WAY too expensive for the customer. 90% of the tech will never get used but will fail and end up costing customers to pay to have it fixed.
Like u said somethin.
@@71usmc exactly correct. That's why a lot of stuff "falls off."
@@71usmcexactly. Everyone is comparing hp and tq as if it’s a drag truck. Look at the old 7.3 and 5.9 diesels, they make nothing compared to these new trucks and they are a workhorse of a truck. The new 3 trucks will do just about anything the average guy needs. Comes down to cost and whatever truck looks better to the buyer
That grill on the chevy isn't a 2024 grill
Ram cummins 6cyl has the longest stroke. They are all designed for pulling. Ride quality, engine and trans performance, etc, should all be evaluated under a towing load. None of this matters driving around the dealership. They are work trucks.
In my experience, our 2010 Ram 2500 was definitely the most raw to drive (for better and worse, the suspension was hard, and every gear change was like a punch in the back). Then I had a 2016 Chevy 2500, and even though Chevy famously underrates their towing, it was just as capable as anything else in every weight, and you just can't beat that transmission.
It will probably come down to looks for everybody, all trucks are really capable. I personally bought the 22 f350 tremor in pearl white its a monster
I worked as a tow truck driver part time for 28 years. The company had all three brands. The Fords were by far the longest lasting and least problematic. They towed better, stopped better and felt more solid. All were good trucks, but the Fords outlasted and out worked the two others by quite a bit.
It IS american best selling truck for a reason! Numbers dont lie. Ford is an amazing company, has been since its early begginings.
Was the ford's the 6.7 ?
Ford boy telling lies, work oil in gas in Canada in the mountains. Been running the big 3 since 2000. Most reliable never left a guy high and dry is the Cummins. Had 6 0s pile left right and Center, duramaxes grenade for various reasons. Never once had a Cummins failure or issue ever. 6.4 blew up or in the shop. 6.7 limp mode or recalled constantly or blower motor issues etc. Cummins again from 5.9 to 6.7 current never a single issue always made it home. So save your flat land preaching bud. You yank girls don’t know.
But which brand did you tow the most?
All our company does is max out the trailer weight and we have always had ram and about 2 years ago we got 2 ford f-350s and they are the most POS ever they pull like shit compared to the rams and they always are breaking down
Ben just a small correction, the 2023 Ford standard bed is 6.75 ft = 81 inches. The Chevy/GMC standard bed is approximately 82.3 inches. About the same size but the Chevy is slightly longer. Keep up the great work!
I would take the Cummins engine any day.
Just not the rest of the truck.
I have a 1997 5.9 12valve. Still runs perfect and only oil changes. Plan to will to my son when I pass away hopefully not earlier than the next 20 years.
We have driven the power stroke for many years in two different trucks both new at purchase, very reliable vehicles and haul anything we pull from welder trailer a living quarters horse trailer a goose neck flatbed for tractor and hay bales Have been good results

@@danjohnson4229 what on earth are you saying?
I would buy the Ford if I could afford one of these trucks. The duramax would be my runner up.
And wait till you need to do anything on the ford and its cab off for 90%. So enjoy paying that bill buddy 😂😂😂
I am a firm believer that you only need to know 1 word when buying a diesel truck. That word is Cummins! I owned a 2012 Ram 2500, and just purchased a used 2022 Ram Laramie 3500 Mega Cab dually. I purchased a new 5th wheel, which prompted the change. I really love both of these trucks, and the Cummins engines have proved to be bulletproof!!!
Powerstroke HO has gobs of power and has done better in almost every reliability test that’s out there .
Never once had an issue with a 700 whp 1st gen 6.7 , and this new version is even better !
I have a 2012 mega cab. Bought it new. I have 150k on it so far. I have had lots of problems with it. Had to replace the transmission at 90k. The Cummins is still fine but the components of the engine have all had lots of problems. Radiator. Water pump. Serpentine belt broke after replacement a year prior. I keep thinking that any day now I will have basically a new truck but then something else goes bad. Switching to Ford 7.3 soon I think. I don’t tow heavy enough to warrant the diesel. Just my fiberglass boat these days but quite a distance a few times a year.
@@troyeggers2939 If the truck is paid off and you're replacing parts, and the engine itself is solid, well so long as it's cheaper than a car note annually, I'd drive it until the cows come home
My boss is still rocking a 2006 Chevy Duramax 2500 and it is still running strong. Only replaced fuel injectors (bad gas) and is about to replace glow plugs and some suspension stuff.
Any gas would be ( bad gas )
Any plans for a video describing future routine maintenance of Fuel system, Exhaust system and cooling system for the same trucks? As a former mechanic I do all my own scheduled maintenance and repairs unless its a recall. Also this video was great!!! Thanks.
Love my 23 F-250 high output. Well worth the money. It’s got the getup and go.
I mean they have dynoed 498 whp bone stock !!
The other two aren’t even close to the 6.7 and the raw power it makes
Great review as always! Thanks!
I used to work at a Chrysler/Chevy dealership and while I do think the rams are nice, I trust the trans and emissions system the least from them. I trusted the chevys much more and the RAM interior is only nicer if you get a mid-high trim level. Fords I didn’t have much experience with but the few that I drove I felt they were the best mix of both comfort, power, and reliability. I know they don’t have a great track record with the 6.0 and 6.4 but the new power train is far from that. I’d recommend choosing between ford and GM, it’s all up to personal preference on looks and interior after that
Unless people buy these to drive them around the block in a test drive style format, wouldn't tow tests with mpg braking etc be most appropriate when comparing the big 3? I understand you are at the mercy of what is given you but a test drive can be done by anyone dropping 80k on one of these. Opinions on the torque, ride quality, creature comforts etc. are so subjective.
Because people who buy then will Obviously tow but these are also family vehicles and everyday drivers as well so this is a great video for that reason
I think the best daily drive light duty truck ever made is the first gen Silverado 99-07 classic gmt800 masterpiece... For heavy duty I like Ford's but pain in neck to work on and that 8.1L big block Chevy is a legend
I prefer the Cummins by far. I have a 2022 RAM 3500 Cummins HO Limited, 8’ Box and single rear tire… mine has Air Ride which is a fantastic ride… I pull a 12,000 lb. 5th Wheel and it hardly knows it’s back there.
I will never understand why srw 3500s exist, I call them 1 ton-just kidding. In capabilites, they are closer to 2500s than 3500s
@@samclegg2805 yes like a 2500, with more weight carrying capacity than a dually 1-Ton… 🫣😀😬
@jomarkelly3932 check your rear gawr and compare it to 2500 and real 3500s (drw) of the same year you'll find a 2500≈6k#, 3500 swr≈7k, 3500 dwr ≈9.7k . So tell me , is 7 closer to 6 or closer to 9.7? Lucky for all of us your 12k trailer is 1500 weight and your ego isn't putting all of us at risk while you act recklessly thinking just because you can move it means you can tow it.
@@samclegg2805 Exactly!! A Dually is king when it comes to towing and the Cummings is the engine to do it, of course I'm biased to a 5th wheel, and at my age, levelling and Air Ride is everything.

What's a cummings??
I 4got 2 mention the engines . V 8's may be a little smoother & quieter . But inline 6 is simply simpler , and easier to to work on , if it ever calls for that .
Had a 5.9. Wouldn’t get out of it’s own way
I’ve been a long-term Ford guy and I’ve owned a couple of Ford Diesels. I absolutely love them. My most recent truck is a 2500 HD, Chevrolet Silverado. I went with a gas engine, which I really like. if I were going to buy another diesel it would definitely be the Ford or the Chevy, though, I would not opt for that HO Powerstroke. It’s too new and like you said with the horsepower and torque it will be interesting to see how well it holds up.
Except you’re a fool. Go look at usable powerband not peak power 😂😂 shows how little you actually know. Cummins makes 85% torque off idle. Duramax and ford need the turbo to do anything. Need a real diesel there has only ever been 1 choice. Good pop the hood in 99.89% if semis in the world. Allllll inline 6 for a reason bud. Crank length etc. I can tell you’re an American by how you fell for marketing 😂😂. Keep eating crayons bud 😂😂
Which is best for back seat comfort? Is the Ram Mega Cab with reclining rear seats the best for back seat passenger comfort?
Excellent review @BenHardyCars! Thanks as usual for showing us the payloads and Vehicle weight and towing info. The Payload numbers are still quite disappointing for me as I want to buy a SRW like this one to cary a 2900 pound cabover camper. Those numbers dont give me enough room to add three adult passengers, gear, and the tow my bass boat. I really did not want a DRW but I may be forced into it.
I don't know about Ford or Ram, but be sure to check the Camper Payload Rating sticker (on the back of the glovebox door on GM trucks). My 2022 AT4 2500 has a payload of 3157 lbs. on the door sticker, but the glovebox payload sticker shows 2407 lbs. for a camper.
@@thecoloradocowboy3495because passenger's are payload also
I have 1996 250 Ford 7.3 still running good, I love the sound of it
That’s the last engine that ford do it right 7.3 diesel very good engine newer than that no work for----
@@urielsaenz5215
Yeah, as I blow by you loaded or unloaded with my 6.7 powerstroke. Only thing close is my 7.3 powerstrokes with 1.5 injector and turbo upgrades . Over 500000 on my 7.3s. Over 200000 on my 6.7. If you need a truck best all around. Just 1 to look at. FORD.
I like the RAM HO but you only get the HO in the 3500 and here in Australia they’re getting so expensive that the Chevrolet 2500 with the tow pack is a just a better deal. Fords tend to be a bit finicky to work on and have had more than a few problems with overheating. The Silverado is perhaps the least comfortable and the 23’s interior is the least attractive but it just works.
Damn it’s opposite here. Fords are way too expensive and you constantly work on Chevys. Rams are affordable but somewhat uncomfortable.
You keep calling the GM bed 6'.5" when it's actually closer to 6".10". The Superduty and GM HD beds are very close with the GM actually edging out the Ford.
Yup.
And anything less than a standard 8’ bed is useless as a TRUCK! Regardless of who makes it! City kids should just stick with cars!
All nice trucks - I’m a GMC SRW owner and personally like the GMC look.
You started from stopped with the dodge, v. Rolled through intersection in probably 2nd gear.
Iv been in the market in buying a new diesel and the only things i look at is how reliable it is and how easy to repair it , for reliability 7.3 powerstroke hands down but i hate working on the dam thing and i dont like the look of it after all the years iv had it. Iv breen in several new duramaxs and im impressed with them and lookikg at the new one next week.
I do not know much about diesels but I would go for the one that uses a similar engine to the one used in semis, big rigs, and tractor trailers.
The only one that uses the same engine brand as a semi truck is the Ram with the Cummins, but all three diesels are probably similar
I love the Chevy duramax
The Ford has the 3rd generation 6.7L (3rd gen 6.7L began in2019) that Ford designed and built as opposed to the previous 6.0L and 6.4L Navistar designed & built engines that were abysmal. With this current 6.7L, Ford appears to have knocked it out of the park. Is it as good as the 7.3L "Godzilla"? Indicators are pointing in that direction but time will tell. I hope Ford learned their lesson with Navistar to design and build their own engines.
Ford didn't design the 6.7L Powerstroke. It's was designed by AVL, an Austrian design company. Ford still uses the CP4.2 Won't consider it until that's gone. Before you talk to bad about Navistar. Remember their behind the 7.3L Powerstroke too
I own one of those 6.0 that you speak of. It took some cash and modifications but my early 2003 now has 335,000 miles on it and HP and torque numbers approaching that of this newest 6.7. My ride is rough and it is loud but it hauls an 8000lb 11’ tall trailer ( height to the top of the radar on my boat) up any grade at highway speed without any issues. That being said I only average about 9mpg while towing and 13.5 over all with every gallon of fuel and mile calculated with an app on my phone for the last 130,00 miles. I am looking at replacing this old beast with something newer soon and I am not loyal to any brand. Just want something reliable with similar abilities and better fuel mileage. ✌🏼
@countcuda70 That CP4 is not fords fault..is bosch! Its a new pump so how would ford know? But you can now swap it for the DCR. Fixed!
Could you make a review on the size of the fuel tanks and def tanks and and weight comparison (apples to apples) please
Having driven inline 6 trucks in the past.... They make great truck engine. Even the gas in line six engines are great because they're very torquey down low....
Were any of these trucks warmed up before driving? Which one gets the best fuel mileage?
I’m a ram guy… how easy is it to apply a fifth wheel to a ram 2500??? Thanks for the video
I would just go with the 3500 ram instead of the 2500. The 35 has so many more capabilities for a little difference in cost.
Well I can say since I had a 2007 Ford 6.4 and it was good but very expensive for repairs
Besides, it uses the same or more diesel per mile than a 2017 Chevy Silverado 6.0 gas engine
what was next for the ford
This Chevy 2500 couldn't handle the climbs with a dump trailer and a skirtsteer it didn't accelerate uphill when I stepped on the accelerator the engine didn't respond
Now I have a RAM 2021 2500 cummins that till to date I am very satisfied
by fulfilling its commitment for what it was built and fuel diesel last twice longer
I have 3 years with it without any problems I’m so happy w/my RAM
If you want to know how to compare 3/4 to 1 ton trucks go to TFL Trucks. You do not buy a 3/4 or 1 ton for ride quality. You buy them for how they handle a load and towing. Seat comfort is important for the long hauls and fuel economy which the Ford does the best. If you want ride quality you go for a 1/2 ton pickups. How it pulls the load and stop with a load is real important too. I would have to go with the Ford it has way more capability so it would handle the same load better than the other two. Ford built that HO motor for the long haul and they upgraded allot of things on it to make handle the horse power and torque. A 20 minute ride driving around empty will tell you nothing until you hook up a load to these big boys. Like I said head over to TFL they do the wright kind of tests for these heavy trucks. I understand these dealers on a brand new truck are not going to let you hook up a load and test them out.
They’re all great trucks with different and similar capabilities but I’d have to go with the Ram no doubt. The chevy and ford are V8 diesel engines whereas the ram is an inline 6 diesel specifically designed and built for its intended purpose which is pulling and towing!
You silly, Ford has been pass Cummins
@BruceDragon-sf1tr ram will pull a trailer better than anything because of the inline 6 there is no comparison to a v8
@@Benkanoza Bullchit, this ain't the 90s or early 2000s, Ford has a dam gas engine that's running up against Dodge diesel, GTFOH
It still has a 6 speed tho 😂
@@tyeblaine1212yet still out pulls the other two hands down
I don’t like the exterior styling of the new super duties. The only reason I’d get a Ford is because of the F-450 other then that I’m GMC all day long Best looking truck out there hands down. Ram is just outdated it’s 2023 and the truck still looks like a 2013
Silverado definitely looks the best in my opinion. I think you should do a video actually towing and stoping. See how they ride with payload and towing
Chevy for the win; best ride, best transmission, best diesel engine (Gale Banks) can tune to five hundred ponies to fairly compare to Ford HO. Duramax tested to over 1000 HP before catastrophic engine failure.
Also, only truck that offers selectable limited slip all wheel drive, for best truck handling in the winter.
"Chevy for the win". smh.
Obviously you are just a Chevy fanboy.
@@mjones2305yeah I’ll pass on that gay ass a-arm front end on a hd pickup truck.
Yeah I’m sure you have broken so many of them. Fucking tool. You guys just repeat the same shit. I’ve towed 15-22k behind all gen’s of duramax for years day in day out and never had front end issues other than normal maintenance. You guys just say the same dumb shit
Best transmission goes to Ford with their 10-speed torqshift
6.5liter diesel, 4l80e for pickups 2500 hauled cargo, trailers. The new ones still aren't what the 80\90's ones could do. Up to 2000. Alison 1000 was good transmition. The gear numbers made it need to be a manual tho. So the steering colour needed swapping from automatic to the manual on the floor. made it a tough tow rig. The 4l80 does just fine. Just have a spare around 250,000\300,000 with loaded trailers daily.
6.5 was a horrible motor, no power, shit milage and gm trannies other than the Allison have always been sub par. Sorry bud but the Dmax saved gm in the diesel department. Glad you have had good luck with it but it just doesnt compare to newer trucks, even my 2006 LBZ w/300k on it would pull circles around the 6.5
The Ford 6.7 has been around many years and is very refined
Still has injection pump issues with the CP4.2
I’ve had all 3 in my lifetime. Ford first, Ram second, Chevy last.
I’m leaning towards the one you can actually delete and work on
Question: with these trucks over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating do you technically have to get a US DOT registration when you go into other states and do you technically have to stop in truck inspection stations along the roadside when they are open?
US DOT registrations are only required for commercial/for profit towing, not private use.
Powerstroke HO. 500hp and 1200 lb ft is a giant advantage no matter what. Plus, 40k pounds of towing (with a gooseneck trailer and 5th wheel) is greater than everything that isn’t a gas powered semi. Outside of the sometimes-faulty CP4 pump, which can be easily and cheaply replaced, the engine is for the most part bulletproof, with the obvious caviat being that you change oil and DEF on the scheduled mileage/time intervals. Duramax seems to have good reliability but is competitively underpowered, and the new Cummins I6 is pretty strong but paired to two garbage transmissions.
Let’s see how the HO Fors holds up. Ford has new record high recalls and quality issues. That’s just a fact.
Inline 6 is by far the best design for pulling day in and day out
If you do some research. You will actually see, wheel HP and TQ are higher on the Duramax then the Cummins. Also, if someone is spending 12k+ on for the Powerstroke option. We shouldn't have to worry about the CP4.2 or how easy and cheap it is to upgrade. 40K towing is in the F450. Fine for someone with a CDL but way more than your average retired couple need for their campers
@@countcuda70
Where can I find these specs? I am getting ready to make a purchase here in October and leaning towards the Duramax
@@jimdandy7772 What specs are you trying to find?
Which gets the bet economy as MPG?
My 21 ram HO with a throttle booster and cold air intake is faster than my friends powerstroke. Love the straight 6 sound can't wait to do a delete.
12:10 someone else in a different review said the exact same thing how ford has the best column shifter
The ram has the Cummins what is differently the most reliability……but with the 10 speed transmission the ford and Chevy will run cooler and heat kills engines so I would say they are pretty close, so pick what you like
I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.
@@bunsguns8222😂😂😂
I loved my 2021 Powerstroke but didn’t trust it beyond 36,000 miles when the warranty is up on the CP4 fuel pump! So Fords are out til they find a replacement for the Bosch crap. I ended up going with the new Duramax as in typical Mopar fashion, there styling is way outdated although the Cummins is a good powertrain. GM knocked it out of the park with their 2024 refresh.
Wow great video ... I like
I had a power stroke behind me in McDonald’s line and I couldn’t hear it at all. I was almost disappointed. How do you make them louder lol EDIT : it was a brand new factory sold lifted F250. Wheel shine and all. I know he did not turn it off in line. At all. Super quiet.
I love this story 🤣
What u need to be worried about is which one is cheapest to fix cause it’s a diesel with def it’s going to break down a lot
I just retired diesel mechanic for 46 years, and the Cummins is by far the best quality motor. Now, the dodge transmission the older sticks were better, and next is Chevy and ford are ok ,th
More gears means more ratios means better power range longer and better mileage 10 speed 10 speed vs old 6 speed big difference there
My choice would be Duramax!!
Zero relevance to the people who actually work these trucks. Lame click-seeking content. Cmon, Ben!
Still a fan. Don't get mad. Truth dart.
nice job
Ram is really behind the curve because of the 6 speed tranny. I like the Cummins, but the outdated transmission would put it in last place for me.
For sure, standard output Cummins puts out the same power the powerstroke did 8 years ago, you’re essentially buying a 2015 Ford with a really nice interior
You guys are actually both wrong because of the torque band and the gearing a 6 speed transmission is actually the best set up for a cummins look it up.
@joshboyle56 exactly and they both use the aisin trans
They aisin trans an u can get a 8 gear trans.
An they are like 100 pounds behind the best towing HD model out of the big 3. But better trans more comfortable ride an better tech.
I don't believe you can go wrong with any of them. It just will depend on personal preference. They are all good looking trucks and any of them will tow anything you have or want just fine.
I can't believe anyone would take your "review" into account when comparing these 3 and looking to purchase one. It's clear you don't spend much time with trucks like these. But, you could at least correct all the errors in specs, whether it's bed length, tow/payload ratings, actual total MSRP, etc. No excuse for that. Let the truck people evaluate trucks please.
@@dukebonde says a kid named duke lol
Drove diesels since 1991 and I’ve had them all. I won’t own another Cummins. Loaded down, they are gutless. I’m a farmer so my trucks are weighted down and GM front suspension is junk. It won’t take the beating. Ford is how I settled out. They just go and the power and suspension is beef.
All super nice trucks but the prices are more inline with a mortgage than truck .
Cummins puts down more torque where it matters. Hands down straight six is the ultimate winner. There is a reason all big rigs use straight sixes.
Not all big rigs use I6 engines. V configuration diesels have been used for a long time. The Scania 770 V8 16L diesel makes more torque then all 16L inline diesels. If Cummins is so great , why's it in last place all the time?
Had a 5.9. Giant terd. Would pull my skid I had at the time at about 45 mph up hills. Barely got out of its own way.
I'm a trucker every semi has a straight 6 for reliable economy
No they don't. Plenty of V configuration diesels too. Has to to with simplicity. Most truck drivers are steering wheel holders. They know nothing about the trucks they drive
I have a 2021 Ram 3500 Dually Laramie. I am looking at an F350 Dually turning status isn’t as good as Ram. I wanted to go to SRW but towing capacity can’t compare to Ram . Love the Chevy but towing and their issues seem like a huge no no. BTW I tow a big living quarters horse trailer
Most ALL BIG rigs are I6s, INLINE 6, There is a reason for that, I’ll take the Cummins for reliability All Day. P.S. I’ve owned all Three…. Dirtymax, Ford 7.3 and 2 Chummins….
They're inline for simplicity reasons. It's not power related. The highest HP and TQ engines in "Big Rigs" are V8
Cummins bro nuff said. I don't even know why this is a question
If Dodge would just put a ZF 8spd that Cummins would pull more and get better fuel economy. My opinion I think 10spds is just to much. We have the 10 spds at work and they are all ways having troubles finding gears. The fuel economy sucks on them as well. It should be in the 20 mpg range easy but we only get 16-17 mpg.
Ford and Chevy have the same 10 speeds trans. They teamed up and built it together. If anyone didn’t know
You are thinking f150 and chevy 1500 not the heavy duty trucks. Chevrolet is Alison 10 speed, Ford has their own Torqshift 10 speed.
They are two different transmissions, they have different gear ratios and everything
I’ve got a 22 gmc duramax 3/4T. Always been a gm truck fan but when I bought my truck I looked at all 3 drove all 3 and am glad I went with the gmc. The 10 speed (even though for has one) in the gm drove better combined with the ifs for a smoother ride. That’s my opinion though. Like I said I’ve always been a gm guy so I was biased as well
If I'm not mistaken it's the same transmission in both just different tuning. That might only be in the half ton though.
😎Well, I didn't find out anything, but it's a pity that Toyota doesn't have a diesel engine because I would buy a Toyota Tundra because of its reliability.
I'd probably choose a Toyota Tundra with a Cummins engine 😁😄
I don't know how you can make a decision driving around the block and not towing which a diesel is made for.
Ford for me 👍
All these trucks are good. Funny thing is the f250 and 2500s can't be compared because ram only puts their low output motor and less durable trans in the 2500. There's no reason for that. F250 or chevy for 2500 all day. 3500 it's a lot closer, I'm a Ford guy, I would go that route.
I have 300k on my cummins with a 68rfe. The truck puts down 425 hp and 990 ft pounds of torque to the wheels and has been on 37s for 200k. I've only replaced hubs, ball joints and the front axle u joints, one alternator and the tipm . I'd buy another one in a heart beat. I'm not saying the others are bad, because they aren't. I'm just happy with the cummins. Btw, I daily the truck and rarely pull anything over 7k and that's usually just in the summer when I'm pulling my boat to and from the lake. Maybe it would have crapped out if I towed with it every day!!! 😅
@chad1107 that's pretty good! Ya I think the biggest difference would be towing everyday (somewhat heavy). Otherwise sounds like you have a great truck!
For expensive looks Ford or Chei.But for heavy hauling defently Ram.
Hey everyone! You know which diesel is best? Short answer, none of these. They're all riddled with garbage emissions and fuel systems that constantly break, costing countless time and money to keep running. If you don't need a diesel, not at altitude or towing over 16k, get a gasser and save yourself a massive headache.
Or buy an older used diesel! I love my 06' Ram 2500 with the cummins 5.9, and have had minimal repair expenses over the six years and 50k miles I've driven her, all while getting a consistent 16-18 in town and 19-22 on the highway. 🤷♂️
Except now all the old diesels have shot up in value for this very reason 😭
What, no towing to the max?
Visit or at least drive by all 3 service departments. Warranty claims and recalls should educate the process.
To me personally I think the Ford looks the best, and it also hauls more even with the upgraded equipment features. Only thing I’m not in love with is a 10 speed trans.
Are they all over $100k?
Ben should be a gm employee at this point.
Duramax, even more with Gale Banks behind it with the military engines
Ford will forever be my favorite🔥🔥
Oh you must enjoy returning on foot
@@jamisonlenthall3101 👀
Ford is trash. But im a nice guy. I ll tow you out in my Duramax
@@rileyhilton1399 🤣🤣🤣👍
I’d like to know which one is the most reliable for someone who isn’t brand loyal
They are all decent. It’s the emission stuff that cause problems a lot of the time
Ford has Cp4, Cummins has weak trans unless you get the HO then aisin . Duramax is best over all
Delete DPF and you good to go
Ben,
What is the purpose of doing the hard rev on any vehicle while it is standing still? Does it serve any purpose other than making unnecessary noise?
Very good review as always.
I would go with the Chevy for reliability reasons. Although I come from mostly a Ford family
Chevys bed is 6’10’’ so it is actually a longer bed than Ford and Ram
Ford has a 6'10" box for a couple of years now.
Lol who’s honking at the start 😂
I may have considered FORD had they not still been using the fuel pumps they use. CLASS ACTION,,,,,,,, so Duramax it was and Im impressed with the 2024 GMC AT4 It fits the comfort bill for sure!
go with the CUMMINS
F250 tremor pkg and with Godzilla engine these diesels ⛽ are high maintenance 😢
I traded my 7.3 for the 6.6 L8t.
2017-2019: Ford Super Duty for exterior
2022: Ford Super Duty for interior
2024: Chevrolet Silverado HD for exterior and interior.
The Ford got up to the same 50 miles an hour as the Ram
Lol
Ford makes the best truck by far its more then just motor. Ive owned all 3 and more crap breaks on the Chevys and dodges
Like what?
When comparing bed sizes you have to look at them from the side lining up. You can't get an accurate comparison from an angle like that.
To have more payload with the ram you have to go with the 8ft bed . 12 300 pound gvwr
i was getting really close to buying a Ram HO but the numerous major chronic problems that seems to be popping up are making me wait and possibly just keep my second gen which is restored to near new condition. At first i heard the leather dash would delaminate and cause cosmetic problems and having a second gen i didn't want another dash problem!!!! Then the HO transmissions starting failing in the 22 model year due to a C clip problem (google it, there is a guy tracking all the failures). I figured they'd get the transmission problem fixed and then in 2024 hopefully upgrade everything... but now the reliable cummins has a heater bolt that can break off and destroy the engine AND they seem to have a major top end failure happening around 100K miles; PD Diesel Power is a youtuber who had 8 and over half of them failed at 100K. Until Ram builds a more reliable truck i'll be keeping my $$$. Everyone (including me) thinks of the cummins a reliable engine but right now i'm not sure that is the case anymore.
I’ve got one and have had nothing but problems. Turbo replaced, engine replaced, cab lights replaced, fender flares replaced, Bluetooth screen replaced, DEF system Replaced, 9 blower motors replaced, HVAC system replaced, 3rd brake light 3x replaced, black door edging decals replaced, side marker light replaced.
I was the same, first time buyer of an American HD pick up and the 3500 HO was the pick but they got super expensive in just eighteen months here and then the reports of failures started trickling in. I looked at the Ford but they are so pricey here and a friend who works on them, said they are a pain to work on with too many electric weaknesses, so I bought the Chevy 2500 HD, not perfect, not the flashiest but no having any major issues here so far.
I’d take the ford for the interior preference and power the engine produces, I trust the Cummings name brand more long term and prefer the looks of the Chevy so a Frankenstein truck lol
That would be the perfect truck
