F250 or GM2500

gw777 · 06-02-2008, 06:16 PM

Looking to buy a new truck. Any advice on deciding between the F250 vs the GM 2500?

Personally I would go with the ford. IMO they have a better interior comfort wise, plus they just look sweet!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Go with the GM. Better motor choices. Better motors. Are we talking brand new here or what? Diesel or gas. Both make great diesel motors. I would give the edge to the DMAX on performance. Haven't heard too much about the 6.8 on the new Ford. The 6.0 has had its share of problems, but if you are looking older than the 7.3TD is a great motor. All you get for gas is the 5.4 or the V10 for Ford. New GM has the 5.3, and the 6.0...don't think they put a big block in any more, used to have the 8.1 which is a great motor. I am a GM fan but Ford are decent. You can't go wrong either way. AS long as you keep it American.
