Dave...1 REASON...and 2 factors.

Reason: TOWING. Chevy kills the other 2 in towing.

Factor 1: Allison 6 speed tranny. It's bulletproof.
Factor 2: Duramax pulling power.

Read this...it wasn't even close...the LBZ Duramax wiped out the stock Dodge and Ford.

My cousin works for Edelbrock and they put anew Exhaust on the truck. . . before they installed the exhaust they threw it on the Dyno and they had to call me to make sure that it was actually stock as it got WAY more HP and Torque than they expected it to have out of the gates.

I only got about 10% more HP and Torque with the new exhaust. Next week they are going to be putitng in it a new Air filter, re-programming it and one more thing and then going to re-dyno it, so will see what the end results are. My point is this truck is awesome stock. It can pull anything.

The only downfall I have found with it is teh gas tank could be a little bigger and the Stocks tires on there are way way way to small. . .

Chevy is the most quiet.

Ford is redesigning their diesel, because they got schooled. And NEVER...EVER buy a 2003 Ford Powerstroke Diesel.

Honestly...the engines are all close...but it's the Allison trany. It's the best transmission for towing...bar none. I went to check out toy haulers with Dusty...and the guy owned a Dodge Cummings....he's already replaced 1 torque converter.

If you don't put the power to the wheels....all the HP and Torque don't matter.
