Are you saying that Dodge's are great? 'Cause if that's what your saying it would be the first time anyone in the whole world said anything was great on a Dodge truck.

Except for a Cummins

No,Dodge actually has a better suspension,and a Cummins(I put a Dodge/Cummins drivetrain in my 89' R3500)(the most common thing we do on Dodge is Leveling-kits for the front-springs,we rarely touch the rears).I'm a Chevy-Guy,and you couldn't give me a Chevy truck made with IFS(88'-up)Chevy stopped building trucks when they went to that sissy-suspension.The Ford has some decent features(mainly interior on the new ones)The Dodge is the nicest package overall,but they still have issues(Dodge and their electrical-nitemares!!).For Towing though,The Dodge is probably the best setup on a new truck,without alterations,Ford next,followed by GM(based on what we see in the shop).Fords' biggest downfall,and the others followed the trend,is engine set-back.They are taking too much weight off the front-end,which kills weight-transfer and balance when towing,especially in short-box configurations in both standard and extended-cab.The front of the engine used to be atleast 6" ahead of the axle,now its on top or behind,except in Cummins applications,and its' still kinda far back even on those.
