i was looking at ssome of the 2000-2003 model trucks and i decided on the ones i like more and chevy wasnt high enough so i came up with the ram and the f350-250 either ford but i like the ram better than both ford but everyone i ask about a ram is a ford fan i even asked my uncle that worked for dodge and chrystler and he said his ram3500 only has 20000 miles on it and the rear end allready went out but he also said he had a ram1500 before that and he put 200k miles on it and all he had to change was oil and tires.....................and ive heard everything good about about a ford far as long lasting soo do u think i should take a chance on a dodge just because i love the style and hight and perfomace over ford or should i just stick with the reliable one +this truck =first diesel for me
