I have never noticed any better resale on Dodges. That may be regional though. You rarely see people/businesses that depend on their trucks in a Dodge. Ford is by far the most common, followed by Chevy/GMC, and in a very distance third Dodge. Of all the people I know that own a Dodge and actually use it as a truck, they ALL own a diesel. I know some people that own gas Dodge's, but they use them as a DD and towing their camper and boat occasionally. Warranty is simply to entice more people to buy a Dodge. They(FIAT) know what their main downfall is(reliability), and try to get by it by offering a better warranty. The PowerWagon has a gvwr of 8510lbs. Chevy did better than that 25 years ago. A Powerwagon has a curb weight of 6650lbs. That leaves you with an actual 1860lbs of payload(legally). Both the Ford and Chevy have a GWVR of 9,900lbs, giving them a payload of over 1.5tons. The PowerWagon has a towing capacity of 10,200 lbs. Ford is at 15,300lb towing. 3790 payload. Chevy is around the same for towing and payload as Ford. Ford is over 10000 cheaper, Chevy is 7000 cheaper. When you actually sit down and take a good hard look at the numbers(all the numbers), the Dodge doesn't really look that good.(not that it ever did)

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
