I have a 2012 F-450 with 250K miles that is bone stock with zero issues and I also have a 2017 F-350 with 65k miles that's had zero issues. Both trucks pull very well also. We do have a 2012 dodge 2500 that's got 180k miles on it and its been a good truck but doesn't have near the guts the Fords do.

I love my Ford the mileage is not the greatest but it's a big truck and always hooked to a trailer so that's why I guess !
Had one once, couldn't handle that much power lol
I have a 2012 Cummins 2500 now, it's only got 93k on it, just looking at getting a new one. I can get a f250 with more options than a dodge, for same price
What did you not like?

Seems like in my area I can get a Lariat powerstroke or a LTZ Duramax for the same price as a middle of the road Dodge truck now.

i have a '16 F250 and love it. like others said mileage aint great. 14daily driven, 8 with my gooseneck (normally 2 bikes, 1 4seat RZR and 1 fat bouncer), 6 when we want to hammer down with another RZR on there.
98,000miles, no real issues (towed my gooseneck 21,000 of those miles-Ford has another odo for trailered miles). Just minor stuff, like a defective mirror, finicki DEF gauge sensor, added 2 sterring stabilizers to take a little of the shake out.
we have 17s and newer in our work fleet and the guys tell me the 17's and up bounce a little more due to them being a little lighter with the aluminum cabs.

That's part of the reason I'm thinking about buying a ford

Used to be I seen all the hot shot guys and car hauler guys with wedge trailers running dodge cab and chassis trucks. They all pretty much run new fords now, I still see a goat ****er every now and then in a new dodge, so that leads me to believe that the ford is a better truck. IMHO I think the ford looks way better especially with the fancy headlights.
I definitely think the Ford's look good, the ones I'm looking at don't have the fancy lights. I did look on eBay for the OEM fancy LED lights, they go for about 1200 a pair

It's personal preference between the two. Some swear by Ford and it's the greatest thing and others will only buy Cummins. They both have their pro's and con's. I would test drive each and see what you think then. They're both good trucks really.
