RE: [RC] Truck Question - Alison FarrinWhat Don said (sorry for the me too post, but he said it
well.)
Also, for your comfort, one of the things I found very
telling is that I can drive the Dodge all day long and be perfectly
comfortable. I am 5'7" tall. The Ford makes my back hurt within a
couple hours. The ford truck seats are designed for someone 5'10" or
taller. I have a 00 Dodge 3500 Diesel and an 03 Ford Expedition.
Despite all the creature comfort bells and whistles on the Expedition, if I have
to drive more than an hour, gimme the Dodge!

The Dodge 5.9L is a V10. Of these two trucks the Dodge has a far superior engine, it's 4x4, it's a 1 ton with stronger brakes, springs, bearings, much better all around. Get the Dodge, the only thing better would be if it was a diesel. 8-) hp @ rpm means the max power the engine can produce in a sterile test facility for about 15 minutes. It is a bragging point used in an argument of who has a better truck. The actual useable power applied to the drive wheels is only 75% of the advertised power due to power loss in the transmission, differential & accessories like fan, AC, alternator, etc. Get the Dodge.
