Well its like this.... The new trucks have new emmisions junk and thats just how it is. All manufactures are having their issues and GM is having fewer with their engines cause the engine has been out since 2000. Obviously, they have had time to perfect it. Its just that simple. Now the 6.4 has done much better out of the gate than the 6.0 ever did so that being said it seems to be a better motor. It has more power, its quieter, smoother, and starts amazingly in cold weather. Yes fuel mileage is poor especially compared to the GM, BUT you need to keep in mind this truck is way heavier than either a Dodge or GM. Actually, its curb weight is at least 1100lbs more than GM (comparing diesel to diesel) so you need to put at least (2) four wheelers in the GM bed to equal things up. Yes this weight hurts mileage but if you drive both trucks at max weight then you will appeciate the better built truck. This is why many reviews prefer the Ford trucks for the overbuilt frames, breaks etc. The Chevy payload in the 3/4ton version is more but in the 1ton trucks its less. The GM and Dodge are also quicker 0-60 and in the 1/4mile but mainly due to their lighter weight. One last note I'll mention is that when i was looking a trucks the Ford sales rep told me to take the F250 over a curb or high obsticle to see how stout the frame is and then to do the same with the competition. Well i can tell you the Chevy definitly flexs more when putting the truck off angle so I'm confident saying that the Ford truck is built amazingly strong.
