Our midsize service trucks at work are ford's. Over the last four years I have had 5 rides in a tow truck due to catastrophic engine failure. Also over those 4 years I got to know Jerry at eide ford pretty good as I brought my truck in every two weeks for one thing or another. Over 50k in repairs in 9 months on one truck. I like the trucks but the nightmare that lives under the hood is enough for me never to own one. They have one hell of a tough transmission though.I have owned dodges the last six years and have had small problems with them. Leaking seals and a failed sensor here and there. But nothing that has left me on the side of the road or in a derate yet. I have 157000 on my 2013. GM has a very proven powertrain and I wouldn't hesitate to have another. The truck itself won't hold up like a Ford if used and abused but still a solid truck.Since your wanting 2012 or newer the emissions systems have to be considered also. Dodge wins here hands down in my book. No drive to regeneration warning. If it needs it the engine just does its thing and you will be none the wiser and will do them stationary without you even knowing. GM also does the same to my knowledge. Ford will have you driving around waiting for it to do its thing or will want approval if stationary.This is all based on my own experiences not someone else's if that matters. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined and think you would be doing your own work go pop the hoods and take a look.</blockquote>
