I have a 99 Dodge 3500 Quad Cab with a Cummins turbo diesel. I have  
owned it for 5 years and I use it primarily for towing. It has 118000  
and I have had very few problems or repairs. I love the Cummins  
engine. Having said all that I would still buy a Ford F350. I bought  
the Dodge used and got a great price on it so personal preference  
aside I went for price.
