Poll: Which Fullsize truck would you buy? Why?

[wannab20hatch]

Ive been contemplating for quite some time now on buying a full size truck. and with gas being high now is the time. trucks are uber cheap. Gas mileage isnt a factor for me. I drive less than 15 miles a day to work. I only want crew cab and it has to be 4wd. I plan to use it occasionally to tow a small 20ft boat.

[Nissan Sean]

best truck for the money is the new toyota tundra. they are awesome. but if i was going to buy a truck i would prolly get the nissan titan, i really love that truck.

[wannab20hatch]

im really liking the titan so far.

[KDM>JDM]

f150. I had a 97 ext cab xlt 4x4 an gave it hell an it was still a great truck!

[green91]

If youre gonna go that big, tundras are the way to go.. can either get the 4.7 or 5.7, and theyve got nearly $6,000 in rebates right now!

[IndianStig]

tundra triumphs all those other "trucks"

[wannab20hatch]

i havent seen that many used 5.7L tundras. I dont really want new.

[OTG Signs]

I don't see Honda on there, but Ridgeline.

If you're only towing a 20ft boat, why do you insist on 4WD?

[wannab20hatch]

ive never heard anyone have anything good to say about a ridgeline and i want 4wd so i can lift it and go offroadin' every now and then.

[OneSlow5pt0]

Tunda 5.7 RWD

my dad has a 05 4.7 w/ vvti rwd......and its pretty damn quick

[MR. 200SX]

[mitch lab]

no caddy..lol j.k. tundra..

[Bud]

wheres the dodge ram 1500 turbo/cummins diesel mega cab option? that truck is sex!

[green91]

Its right up there with the $4.79/gallon + 13mpg option.

[wannab20hatch]

im not ready for a diesel yet. and if i were to get one it would be a 99-03 f-250 with the 7.3L

Hey chris is there any regularly scheduled maintenance intervals for a 4wd system?

[twinj]

I own a 08 CC Titan. I love mines haven't had any problems.

[Seun]

Not interested in the Tacomas? If i was to get a truck it would definitely be the new tacomas. but out of the list you got i would get tundra.

[Hollowmon]

[nsany(atl)]

buy mine, make me an offer

[wannab20hatch]

i was actually looking at that one the other day. its nice.

[Humphrizzle]

I'd buy an old pos f150 and only drive it when i need to move or pick up stuff..

no reason to have a new 60k dollar gas hog with 4 dollar/ gallon prices.. you waste so much money.

[JITB]

I cant buy any truck but a SuperDuty
http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop-460x345/08F350_HRLY_BlckanCppr_3w.jpg

[wannab20hatch]

the only good superduty's were the ones with 7.3's in them. every other motor has had alot of problems.

[JITB]

just a emisions problem that was fixed..

[csmiths]

the yota, bc my dad has like a 2000 with 220,xxx miles on it with ZERO problems, and the original tranny. good ass trucks

[_Christian_]

none. gas sucks.

if i were to get one, i'd get a superduty. pre 2008.

[wannab20hatch]

gas isnt that bad. my dad drives a 07 silverado 4wd with 20's almost daily from dahlonega to gwinnett. they say by the end of the year its going back down to $2/gallon. i figure nows the time to buy.

[green91]

HA dont count on it, ive heard them saying 5-6$/gal by november.

what are "they" smokin!

[wannab20hatch]

thats what im wonderin. its all politics. personally i dont ever see gas getting below $3/gallon again.

[chhs_lax]

In 2015 half the world's oil will be gone anyway so good luck ever seeing below 3 a gallon. I say Ford btw.

[nsany(atl)]

Wrong, we had 3 F350's '04'04'05 that all had blown motors. The King Ranch '05 got the lemon law, and then we traded the 2 '04s in on a Mustang for the owner.


Here is what the '08 do
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v36MCcRPRTc

the 7.3 is a great truck, the last work one we had got 350,000 on it no problems

[wannab20hatch]

thats why i wanted the 7.3 when i worked at ford a guy had one with the bully dog catalog installed on it and got more miles than that. he even said he was trying to blow it. never did.

[nsany(atl)]

make a decision yet? come look at my truck and take it for a drive to see what you think

[hondachik]

Those Toyota Tundra's are the shiznits. Especially like the one AnthonyF just got...sexxxx...

[cactusEG]

Toyota hands down. They look great, last long and they keep their value...

[wannab20hatch]

he got a tacoma

[Blitanicle99]

Ive owned ALOT of trucks. Driven every kind, beat on most every kind and I have atleast one friend with anything youve listed.

Personally I pick chevrolet. Chevy makes the best gas trucks in my opinion. The 5.3 vortec is a well well well built motor. Its based off the LS1 motor thus it being an LS series motor. Ive seen 2 300+ k milage motors that have had a 100 shot on them for over 100k miles. Try that in a ford.

Ford, is a good truck. I like the looks alot but the little 4.6 just doesnt cut it for me. The gas mileage sucks and the power is a joke.

Dodge, the hemi eats gas. Like 8 mpg. I know you don't care about gas but thats just ridiculous. The 4.7 is a good motor, however again the gas isnt that great either compared to a Chevy.

Toyota. I have been a HUGE fan of Toyota for the longest time. However the Tundra is a joke. The pre make over ones are TINY. The cabs are small, they really arent a full size truck. Going on to the new body style, nice truck but I don't think its been out long enough to fully test it. Yes its the fastest full size 1500 size you can get without going into the Lightnings/SS Silverados or Single cab Hemi Rams. And yes it has HUGE brakes. But again, just driving the truck I feel that its cheaply made. I have owned an 83, 85, 87, 99 and an 03 and I personally think the older trucks are much tougher than the new tundras.

I trust Chevy. The new ones with gas mileage program get INSANE mileage. The ones with Cylinder shut off get in the 30s around town. Thats crazy. I want one pretty bad. However my 01 Ext cab 4x4 gets 22 on the highway with 130k on it. I harp on it pretty good like a truck should, I pull with it constantly more than I should, it idles at job sites all day long, and if some integra cuts me off I can be an ******* and drag my tires as I pass him :D

Also for cost effective ness, Chevy seems to have the best price for a Gasser. If you deciede to go Diesel, Dodge Cummins Commonrail all the way. Best diesel motor still made today.

Oh, when you figure out what you want, PM me, I am a wholesaler I can hook you up.

[wannab20hatch]

from what ive seen so far and driven i really like the titan and f-150 my dad has a 07 silverado and its third on my list. the dodge cab seems tiny and the toyota is over priced for what it is.

[green91]

i heard you got engaged

[BBanks357]

i voted Chevy...im a little biased tho.

[wannab20hatch]

i heard you got engaged

where did you hear that?

[AnthonyF]

I have a Toyota Tacoma X-Runner

Handles better than a 350z

that's a lie: all figures i see are saying $5:00+

[wannab20hatch]

test drove a 08 tundra last night and absolutely loved it. leaning towards toyota now. 6000 in rebates + hail damage + down payment = smoking hot deal

[Blitanicle99]

If you do get the Tundra get the 5.7 atleast.

[wannab20hatch]

its a 5.7 4wd crewcab with leather. cant even tell it has "hail" damage

[green91]

Thats because they have all gone through PDR but the dealer is still passing on some savings due to the prior damage.
