Chevy vs. Ford
Guys, I can't really decide between the Duramax Chevy 2500 HD Crew Cab with a short wheel base or the Powerstroke F-250 or even F-350 Crew Cab with a short wheel base. Of course, 4x4. It seems to me that Fords are easier to lift and fix up. Although the chevy comes with 360hp and 650ft/lbs. of torque and the ford comes with 325hp and 570ft/lbs. of torque, an employee from Bank's Turbo told me that it is a little easier and cheaper to get more power out of a ford than out of the chevy. I am also wondering about fuel economy. I have really been looking around my area in Alabama and have noticed that I am seeing a lot more ford f-250 trucks than I am seeing of the chevy duramax. Is there a reason for this as far as how the two trucks hold up or what? I also think the ford looks better with the rounded fenders (than the chevy with square fenders) and also the big bulky front looks alot better. But if I am going to spend $40K-$45K on a truck I want to get one that I know will last and be dependable. Thanks for any help you guys can give me to assist me in my decision.
