    In looking around on here I mainly see truck problem posts, and I get that. But it made me wonder who makes the best trucks? Or what is the ranking of the manufacturers?

    I know this will probably start a big argument...( Like Ford vs Chevy in little truck land)

    I guess looking for if I had choice of 2 or three companies to work for and they buy brand X,Y,Z respectively... Is there a downside?
    In shop more than others= less miles/

    Thanks

    Kenworths are the Cadillac of big trucks. A KW with Cummins power is the best truck money can buy. Anyone who says different is wrong.

    In this case, you mean who makes the best engines. The answer is none of them since early 2003. If you drive a new truck, make sure you have Netflix or a Kindle for all the down time emissions related issues.
