    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.

    Re: New trucks

    What would you be using it for?

    Doing a lot of towing or hauling in the bed of the truck?

    MPG an issue for you?

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

    I always have something to put in my bed so thats why I buy trucks to begin with.

    I only tow something once in a while.

    MPG not really an issue.

    Well I'm a Chevy guy and the 2011's have a much improved frame and the chev is better on gas mpg and ride. 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.

    I like the Chevys and GMCs. But they can get pricey rather quick IMO.

    I have a friend who is a commercial fisherman who drove Chevy's. 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.

    Sounds like he loads it way to heavy.
