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.

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. : )
