Therm
I have looked at the foreign trucks and what I saw was they don't have the steel in the frame as the Ford and Dodge. Chevy is beefer than the foreign guys but not as thick as the dodge and ford. After that each has it's own thing that is different than the other.
I have a 98 F 150 gas that I pull all my landscaping trailers, 2 wd with 166,000, no trouble with the motor or tranny (knock on wood). 1 of my trailers is a dual axle 25ftrn that I haul a Kubota 3540 tractor and power rake and tiller with. A lot of weight and it pulls it fine.
My next 1 will be a 4 wd diesel, I like the chevy combo motor and tranny and I like the older ford 7.2, dodge I think has been using the same eng tranny combo for quite a few years.
