My maintenance guys for our campus have talked me into a new service truck. Going to have a 9' service body on it with liftmoore 4000x crane plus a shitload of tools. regular cab dual rear.
State contract and no need for 4wd and no towing. There's right at $4,000 between the most expensive Ford and least expensive dodge with chevy exactly in the middle. All basic work trucks in each company's version of that. The biggest difference I see is Ford has a bit more payload, but open rear diff. Chevy has a locking rear with way less payload, dodge has limited rear slip with only slightly less payload than the ford. The Ford does have the largest alternator at 200 amps which may be a big deal if using the crane often or for an extended period of time.
I'm just not seeing a big difference in the three. Anyone using an upfitted chassis truck enlighten me?
