Default One brand or multi brand person?

I might get banned for this but its a chance im willing to take to hear everyone's opinions lol. Well was thinking about this today that a lot of people on here only like one brand. Where as myself I love dodge but chevy and ford is not so bad. If your going to bash one of them dont even bother posting up. I wouldnt trade my dodge for a chevy or a ford. I drive a 02 chevy silverado 2500 at work and its not a bad truck also at times drive the 05 and 07 chevy 2500's. My boss has 8 chevys including a dump truck they are all used for plowing in the winter. All gassers only one diesel in the whole fleet and thats my bosses 2010 2500. I love the allison trannys I would love one in my truck and as far as performance and handling they are about the same as a dodge ram. Ford wise I like them except for the new ones(05 and up) but we had a 02 f150 160k and was a great truck also had a older 93 f250 for a work plow truck. I kinda like the style of the chevys its not bad, pre 05 fords are not bad but dodge is by far the best/mean looking. Feel free to post up what your likes and dislikes are. Kinda just wanna see what everyone's views are.

The 07 its a nice truck mpg sucks tho, nice for a plow truck

We had a 89 s10 4.3 for our camp truck bought it for 200.00 I must say it took a beating jumped it many times got it swamped up to the seats. Had no brakes towards the end of its life but park came in quite handy so did hitting trees lol scrapped it for 200.00 lol

i like dodge love my truck but at DOT we have a 01 ford f350 with 5.4 that is our daily work truck its pretty smooth for having 169,000 on it, a 94 f250 with 5.0 thats got 121,000 on it and runs strong, a 01 chevy 3500 with the 6.5 dmax that is just a dog it take a long time to getup to speed and it doesn't have any passing power, and a 08 chevy with the 6.6 dmax now that is a nice and well put together truck lot of getup and go and very comfortable
all in all i like driving all the trucks at my disposal they all get the job done and i would buy them to be my beater truck

I'd say Dodge and Ford. I'm not a big fan of chevy, but the new ones like in your picture ramguy look pretty good. Chevy's "equivalent" to the Dakota (Colorado or whatever) has an inline 5 cylinder, I think it was rated one of the worst trucks, and its pretty ugly. But i'm not bashing it just saying it doesn't touch the Dakota. McNasy is right, nobody makes a truck like a dakota.
EDIT: Lol, I just looked it up and the 2010 F250 is right up there with the Chevy Colorado...

they have a 5.3 option now which might be my next truck.

Really? I didn't really read much just someone I know has one with the inline 5, I thought it was a little weird. It makes sense that they put a v8 in it though. But I'll be keeping my dakota for awhile, it's only got 125,000 on the clock, should last awhile. Your trucks pretty cool lookin by the way Blaze, I like the 31" tires (for now) and the Fastman that should be sweet. Is that visor lighted?
