I never thought I'd be such a Dodge fan. I've always said that I'm a GM man through and through but these past two weeks I've had my dad's Dodge truck and I am very impressed. It has the 5.7 litre Hemi which produces more than enough power to tow anything I need. I've towed camp trailers and boats and it tugs them around without a problem. If I were hauling someithing everyday I'd go with the Cummins diesel, but for starting it up and driving it without any warming up it's the perfect truck. I don't really need a 3/4 ton truck. I don't even own a trailer to tow but if I were to get one I would definitely consider the Dodge. My dad's truck is an '07.
The Hemi has 383 horse power and 400 lb/sq ft. of torque. They call it a legendary engine, and it's easy to see why. The Chevy Silverado boasts 397 horse power but the cost difference is incredible... it literally costs $7-10K more for the Chevy. Ford comes in with a beefy 6.2 litre putting out 385 horse power. All are within spitting distance from each other so it comes down to looks, ride, towing capacity and price. Dodge comes in a lot cheaper and the look is very distinctive. I have been very pleased so far and plan on testing it more.
Why not a Dodge?
