I'm a self confessed GM guy.

But in Leasing trucks I get to try a little of everything, and through companies I work for I get to see or ride in all of them.

Don't get a ram. Period. I'm sorry dodge/Ram owners, but almost everyone you ask, especially the diesel owners, most of them will tell you the reason for their purchase was "it was like 10K cheaper", well I'm sorry, but it was 10 grand cheaper, cause its that much worse. The diesels have good powertrains, but the rest of the truck around it is junk.

The gas rams are even worse, cause the powertrain isn't even that good. In terms of work, they degrade quickly, we use our trucks on back roads, FSR's and mining roads, and they start to ride like shit real quick, and the interiors start to age and rattle apart quickly. This happened with a bunch of our 06-10 trucks and now we have a bunch of '12-'14 trucks and its the same.

In comparison we have a few chevy's and i've lease a couple fords and they both stood up much better and just felt nicer.

I have to skip up to the HD trucks, because that's all I rent for work, but even as a GM guy, if I were to buy a truck today, I would probably buy the new F350, as an overall package its just a nicer truck, and the features are just better overall. Plus the fact the GM won't e-coat their frames is starting to get really tiresome.

I know much less about the import brands, as they are just not used in my line of work. The last site I was on we had 200+ site vehicles, and the only truck not from the big 3 was a single tacoma, and it was brought in by a security contractor.

I don't know what industry you are in, but in construction imports just don't exist.

I'll postface this with the fact that in the last year and a half I have had a 2015 suburban, 2016 F350 , 2016 f250 (both powerstrokes), 2012 2500 chevy duramax, 2015 3500 GMC duramax, 2015 2500 ram cummins, 2012 2500 ram hemi. I had each truck for 3-4 months, except the suburban, as that thing really wasnt cut out for site use, just too nice. I drive anywhere from 60-80000km a year in these trucks, So I spend a lot of time in the drivers seat. And the above is my opinion based on that experience. Everyone else can give you what they "think", but the above is what I KNOW based on our use. And I'll admit right off the hop, our use is abusive. We beat on these fucking things day in-day out.
