Hi,
Since there seemed to be some interest on the other thread here is an 09 version that came up with the same basic findings. Dodge is the 2010 truck of the year but Duramax still seems to have edged out the torgue and horsepower ratings of the 2010 Cummins according to there respective current websites. I have nothing but respect for Fords ability to not require any bailout. I had an 07 Ford gas 4x4 which my son still owns and 2001 gas 4x4 Chevy which I liked better, for me I'm just a Chevy guy. I am not a Dodge guy, but I did like Lee Iaccoca. Our 09 Chevy Duramax has only about 1100 miles so far so good. It's getting about 16 mph around town. This year we will drag the boat up to Maine for a cruise along with weekends at the Jersey shore. Next year we will tow the boat down to Florida keys in March with a stop at Float On trailers to have brakes upgraded to electric over hydraulic at the factory. Then it's on to Yellowstone and Grand Teton in the middle of August in 2011. If I live that long enough, Alaska looms ahead for 2012 or 13. Our boat travel plans is why I made the decision to buy a new truck. You know how I am about the warranty thing. Blah,blah,blah, For daily, work, errands, I have a little 07 Honda Civic sedan which does a fine job no unintended floor mat problems. Enough about me. Travel plans you want to share? Love to hear em. Let's try to keep this thread a happy possitive one.
