Your right, tough crowd. I decided on dodge because of its pulling power. It has the highest rated towing capacity at 7000 lbs vs. those fords and chevys capacity 5000 lbs max.

Lusby, located in Southern Maryland. Not much competition here with the exception of some local carry in my trunk pressure washers. Oh, almost forgot, Fleetwash. Again, not much competition.

Maryland you knew Fleetwash is afraid of dodges didn't ya,they know their Fords aren't any competition to a dodge.

We're not a tough crowd,your rig is to clean :),Dodges looks better dirty and nasty,it could be tho its the reason you haven't any competition.

The only chevy truck with a 5000 # tow rating is one with a 6 banger in it.

My 1/2 ton v8 has a 6800# rating, and the 3/4 ton has an 8000# tow rating. Factor in the diesel engine option, and you can go 12000 + #s.

Dodge may be in the forefront of bold styling, but their powertrains are still as weak and unreliable as ever.

I agree with Tony C. ! Also, we live in The Motor City, which I believe makes us "experts" LOL

So it appears that everyone is right! There are some 1/2 ton Chevy's and Fords with around 5k tow limits, and some with upwards of 8.5k.

If there's a way to make my Chevy do what I need it to do, I'd just as soon stick with that than buy a Dodge.

Besides, if you're towing that kind of weight, why wouldn't you just get a 3/4 or 1 ton?
