With the recent comments about truck wars and someone's uninformed comment on another forum, who also presented no facts, I'd like some big truck feedback from other owners.

1) Compared to your previous LDT's, how do your big truck maintenance costs compare ? (just what you have experienced out of pocket)

2) How did your purchase price stack up against what you paid for your previous LDT ?

In my case, so far, after 6 years, my KW has cost less that the Dodge for maintenance, and the Dodge has been very cheap so far, only a clutch, and rotors in 190K miles.

My KW modified to haul, ran me $27K, with 700K miles on it, my new '05 SRW 3500 Dodge was $37K.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Regards
Gemstone
