I have no personal experience with newer pickups so I have to go by hearsay and you know how accurate that is.
A local fertilizer handling equip mfgr who sells and services their equipment all over the US and Canada used to have Dodge duallies with a Cummins as their service trucks. They put a huge service body on them and sent them out to do their job. The Cummins held up well but the chassis didn't stand up to the stress so they went to Ford 450's. The Fords stood the weight but gave trouble mechanically so now they are back to Dodges. In my view these pickups are expected to do the job of a real truck and this comparison isn't close to what you would expect out of a service truck so take it with a grain of salt. They did have one of the Fords sitting by the highway with a for sale sign on it and it looked pretty darned good from the outside. It probably would have been a good buy for a local mechanic or farmer.
