| New trucks
Thinking about buying a new pickup
I have always owned GMCs or Chevy pickups.
Whats everyone like? or dont like?
So many choices these days. Rams, Silverados, Sierras, F-150s, F-250s, Tundras, Titans. So different cab choices, options etc on all of them.
Dont think I would ever buy a Tundra or Titan though.
Discuss.

Diesel or Gas? 1/2 or 3/4 ton HD? makes a huge difference in what to choose IMHO.

I only tow something once in a while.
MPG not really an issue. Quote:

The ford F150 is a heavier duty truck, better for hauling, less mpg and a little stiffer ride. The dodge is less expensive, a good truck, falls some where between the two in ride and capability and gets the worst mpg's. By the way I drive a dodge diesel 3500hd.

But they can get pricey rather quick IMO.

He bought a Tundra and says never again. I thought they were nice trucks. His comments are terrible gas mileage and the truck with a load always feels like it's on the edge of being out of control. Now this guy loads his truck heavy, loading crab pots in it and towing a trailer loaded as well. I have not experienced it just passing along what he says....And I believe him FWIW.
