Ford? Chevy? GMC? Toyota? Pick up Trucks

[THE JIGGER]

Ford F350 superduty crew cab diesels...enough said.

The traveling Keith does he has to think about economics on gas and diesel

[Tikkaman]

Oh just go for the minivan will ya

Might as well turn in your "man" card if you plan on that

Not if you can drive it out on the ice and it has holes in the floor

Keith I have had a Ford F150 4x4 a Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 and now have the Silverado 1500 4x4 with the big V8. By far the Silverado has been the best. The Chevys don't seem to get the wheel well or door panel rot the others get either.

[Igottafish]

Keith you know I'm a Chevy guy, if you ever want to take mine for a spin let me know. Great truck.

[Bozeiceman]

Not to hijack the thread rather add to it',,,I heard the new F  150 is going to. E made of aluminum! Not sure what I think of this...I can think of advantages and disadvantages...

I have alway been a Chevy gmc guy but the Tacoma off road size and mileage suits me best.   But that said I would look at an aluminum f150

[Gfish69]

GMC Sierra HD Durramax. 287k

[Bobbyg]

All I will say is real trucks dont have spark plugs

[Scooby31]

Bow ties all the way.

[Raquettedacker]

Cant wait for the 2015 F150..   Its going to have an all military aluminum body and get almost 30mpg....   

[BaitBucket]

Yes, it sounds like an Insight will fit nicely in the bed of that new truck. You can deploy it like an aircraft carrier, probably drive it right out on the ice!

Unfortunately a new truck and an aircraft carrier use about the same amount of fuel. 

Keith, my only advice to you is think long term (5-8yrs)  not short.
Many analysts are predicting gas prices to reach rates as high as $6-$8 a gallon by 2020 (6 years, about how long your new loan will be)

Can't wait to see the price...

[ADKer]

I drive a 2013 Nissan Titan. Amazing truck. Smooth ride, wont get stuck. No complaints at all. Except for the price oof the initial truck and the gas........the gas hurts.......alot. lol

X2 Best vehicle I've ever owned.

[Bobbyg]

Can't wait to see the price...

It wont be out till October from what place told me, as far as cost probably 42k loaded 4x4

42k??

Hello $500/mo payment + Gas
Thats assuming a 7 year loan and 0% APR   lol

[Ziffle]

Keith, whatever you decide on make sure you get that 8 ft bed.  Two feet doesn't sound like much but boy is it ever.

[Bobbyg]

I dont understand, are you saying thats to high a price tag?

[BaitBucket]

Yes sir

[flaggs]

Volkswagen!

oh wait, trucks?   

GMC Yukon! have had 3 all over go over 200k! Pack it up, all enclosed, lock it up, keeps dry and warm, rides like a fine motorcar! Tows my car hauler, boat, utility trailer and carries my hitch rack. Long hauls, no fatigue. Great truck!

Flaggs!

and oh.. 16.5 mpg city - 17.8 highway 14.7 hauling 3000 lbs!  Mint!

[drl823]

Used Ford ranger 4x4

With a spare key outside compartment...

[swampa]

if you can hold out till september thats when the 2015 chevy colorado's will be for sale, 3.6 liter all aluminum V6 305 horsepower 6,700 towing capacity and better gas milage than a 4 cyl toyota tacoma, and from what i hear alot less money than the tacoma too boot, I will more than likely trade my 2013 buick regal turbo premium 2 for one

Lots of great info guys! DODGE is not even a possibility! Won't go there! I have an F-150 super crew 4 door.  2003 with 197, 000, I'm thinking this will be a tough decision. I don't care about towing, never will. Gas mileage is the only big concern I have. I don't care if its a rocket either. I don't really care to drive like a race car driver :-) Roomy cab & gas mileage main concerns. And of course long lasting! Thanks again, keep the info coming

[Bobbyg]

Yes sir

Not really

    From what I was told this is going to be the flag ship F150 so its not the basic model they sell for like 20k, its going to have luxury features and new engine. my only wish that ford was going come out with a diesel engine option in the F150 like that got 23+ MPG. But that most likely would raise the cost another 8k, all we can do is hope they add it to the line up some day.

Whats the most youll be moving around in it, your ice gear? If so, Im telling you a hatchback will work.

I drive 550miles a week just back and forth to work, and fill up once for about $30.

It may not be the coolest or manliest car out there. But im not driving it to impress anyone. And if you need a vehicle to prove how manly you are..well there are other issues at play there..
Im driving it to get me to work, and to where I want to fish without costing a fortune in gas.

I get the best of both worlds in my wrangler....no room for anything and terrible mpgs lol but I still love it...

I am a huge Grand Cherokee fan, as long as were talking 2004 and earlier prior to the change to the Mecedes 3.7L and drivetrain.  My 2002 has 199k and runs amazing.  Gas mileage sucks but in 4low with the tires I have I can get through a lot.

[Poot]

If you have had good luck with Ford Keith than stick with them. My last two vehicles (truck and explorer) were fords and I had great luck. Also had great luck with my Chevy's and Dodges (I've owned 7 trucks now I think).

I just bought a 2004 Tundra and couldn't be happier. Crew cab, 6 1/2 foot bed, small V8 with bed cover, get about 18.5 mpg. and it's got 150k on it (a new truck doesn't fit in my budget)  It was a 1 owner vehicle and the guy drove 50 miles each way on the highway to work and was not an outdoorsman or sportsman...just liked the truck and all scheduled maintenance has been done to it. If a Ford crew cab would have fit in my garage I would have bought another Ford but the Tundra it was and it's a great truck.

You'll find what suits your needs. Then just let us know what you get so when we pull up to a pond we know if it will be a rough day for us  watching you catch bass all day.

Ford, Chevy, GMC = Marcum, Vex, Hummingbird.

Everyone's got opinions, but I'm pretty sure they all work.









But Fords and Marcums are the best.
