    A lot of great information here, and yep even from the Dodge folks.

    My farrier loves his 19 Dodge 3/4 ton, except for the rust that is starting to show up on the frame. Recently I took a look at them (19 model) I found the seat OK (I need back support), but the ergonomics (Dash layout peddle position) just did not fit my dimensional challenged body Power wise on the drive was good, but ride empty was rough. I then drove a Denalli (19 model). Ride was better, but seat was terrible (for me). Lumbar and side support was just off no matter how I adjusted it, Even the sales folk had to agree - said it was set up for tall folks. The 19 F350 I drove was better overall. Interesting is that payload was about the same across the brands - maybe 300lbs difference. Now for 2020 all 3 have upped the payload greatly, but with my 220RK it not a real concern.

    More research needed on my part.

    Please keep the information coming.
    Thanks - Keith

      I love truck debates, always lots of specific information. 9 mpg. That's about as good as it gets when pulling a large 5th wheel. Lots better under certain conditions, lots worse in some cases. My 13 Chevy, 9 mpg. My 19 F450, 9 mpg. Get a good climb on, get a good head wind, add them up then you are looking at 3mpg.

        Dallas,

        I would be willing to bet the FE is better today on the 2020 Duramax versus a 2013 model. I feel if one were to buy a truck from the big three, folks would be getting a nice rig, since all the issues from years ago have been worked out. As in most anything, there are pros and cons with each.
