WHhhahaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh????
Maybe in Fenton, Missouri.
All I ever see are Chevys and Fords.
A quick search reveals the same.
diesels not trucks in general. (the heavy duty vs everday.)
the Dodge is king of Heavy Duty trucks. But I attribute that to Cummins motors not Dodge build quality.
heavy duty has it's own breakdown in those figures nathan posted, and dodge is still 3rd. i'd still rather buy a 5.9 ram over the competitors, but that's not the general trend.

The guy who picked me up when the Geo broke down was driving a Ford F450 (powerstroke, 5 speed) and it had something north of 600,000 miles on it and ran strong. He said he'd never had a problem with it. My uncle has towed his 24' boat for 120,000 miles with his F150. The boat+trailer weighs 1500lbs over the max tow rating, but he's never had any problems and the truck pulls it like a champ.
I'd probably go with Ford if I were to get one.
