Dodge has gotten MUCH better since Daimler got involved. My '02 GMC truck was nice, but I liked my Dodge dually better. When it came time to buy a new truck, I went back with the Dodge. The GM truck interiors have comfy seats, but feel small inside (narrow). Ford seats just suck, and the dash boards are fugly. I had zero problems with my dually, at over 50K miles. No rattles, no leaks, nothing. My GMC tranny took a **** after 38K miles, how convenient since the warranty was up.

I like the new GM trucks though, they look nice. The next gen F250 also looks kinda cool.

well i'd say thats one of the only things that daimler chrysler has done right...and that built a dependable diesel truck...and we hvafe really had any problem with the new megacabs either

as far as your tranny going out at 38k....haha gm puts a small mileage triggerd bomb inside your tranny and once the mile go up.....boom!!!!!

SRT8 is just going to be another failed attempt like the Shelby Durango was..
Its a cool concept and all, but I think Jeep just jumped into a whole new ball game they dont have any experience with

I like the looks of the Jeep, so I would have to learn towards that one.

I was having a tough time deciding earlier this year. I liked the modability of the TBSS, and the looks of the SRT-8. I drove both for long test drives; city/highway and went with the SRT-8. I have never had a moment of regret.
I'm not a brand guy; I could care less who made the car, as long as I like it. I've had Chevy/Ford/Honda, etc. and they all have pros and cons. Enjoy what you drive!!!

Never really been a fan of Jeeps accept for the old CJ's with a 350 SBC in them. Haven't been in an SRT8 but the TBSS is very comfy and the power is extremely smooth. Just needs electric fans and a small blower ~5psi. : )
