Sry getting into the thread a little late but Ford and Dodge corner the market on work type trucks. Ford's 450 and 550 are the best from experience. I'm a driver for a landscape company.
First off we have are 450 its a 94 stick with a 7.3 in it for some reason with all the abuse that this thing goes through from us I am surprised that we haven't destroyed it yet. The only thing that did "break" on it was a pin that froze in the PTO dump box. Well it ain't worth repairing just for one reason the bill is higher than cost of truck. This thing rocks in the snow for a 2wd we put a 9.5 fisher on the front that can move a ton of snow and a V-box salter in the rearI can clear a entire acount about 25,000 square feet of parking lot/ loading docks in roughly 45min to a 1 hr.
Second up is the 99 550 like a 450 but beef up this is truck is our heavy hauler this thing hooks up to a 32ft long GPW of 12,000 Trailer. I've put a Toro 580-D (16 foot cut path about 3000 lbs)and a New Hollond 865 skid loader on this trailer and still towed it around like a toy. In winter it gets a 10 ft fisher on it, If you want to throw snow sweet mama!!!!!
bury cars 10pts. lol
The third we have is a 350 its a srapy rig so I don't drive this one cause I don't have the stupid license to do so. but just from plowing never get a blizzard plow for it.
Another question who builds the engine for a oshkosh MTBR (i Think) 5-ton?
