Chevy for me.

My first truck was a '99 Ford Ranger, I liked it a lot. But after watching how fast it went down hill along with my dads '01 F-150 I decided to try Chevy.

I bought an '05 1500 Silverado that I started to prerunner. Had a mid-travel kit in the front, but one day I swung by the Chevy dealer just for kicks and saw my current truck.

I traded in that Silverado for my current '01 CC LB 2500hd Silverado. What can I say I'm a sucker for diesels.

The Chevys have been my loyalty, but who knows I may switch to a prerunnered 05+ F150 next year. I kinda miss gas now. The one I have always stayed away from was Dodge. Not because they're not good trucks or anything, just because I've never been a fan of their front end style. Also my buddy has one and I jsut can't get use to their driving.

I have a 2001 silverado, and a 2002 F-250. The 01 silverado is the only vehicle I have ever owned that wasn't a ford and it will probably be the last. I have has some problems with it, but all things considered it has been a good truck, but I am just a Ford guy at heart. My next truck is definitely going to be a 4X4 F-250 Power Stroke.

I'm the same way man.... I kinda notice that usually, my most recent truck is my favorite. In the last 10 years trucks have become more and more like Caddys!
I voted for Dodge though. I've never been let down by one of my 3/4 ton or 1 Ton Dodges. Especially with the Cummins.
The new Dodge commercials DRIVE ME NUTS though. As do Chevy's.

Chevy for me.

Smokin Gator · 01-18-2009, 08:02 PM

Alright... flame me if you want... I own a Ford. I don't care what you own as long as it is American made by an American company. It is a huge pet peeve of mine and I won't take it any farther because it just wouldn't be pretty.

SvilleKid · 01-19-2009, 11:43 AM

Latest purchase was a F150 Super Crew Cab 4x4. It all came down to legroom in the back seat. Ford had plenty for my 6'2" frame. Chevy was 6" less, Dodge at least 8-10" less than Ford. Forget Toyota!! Knees in my chin in their 4-door.

Third Ford truck I've owned. Owned 3 chevys in the past. didn't last as long as the fords. Never owned a Dodge. Looked at one when brought the Ford, but they were $4000 more than Ford, and dealer would not deal; at all!!! Ford made me one helluva a deal. No wonder Dodge needs bailout.

Prospector · 01-19-2009, 11:54 AM

1990 Ford F-150.

She's a beater truck, for sure. Lives outside, packrats have eaten up some of the wiring and most of the vacuum lines, only seven of the eight cylinders fire, brake line leaks, power steering leaks, neither the a/c or heat work anymore; ... but she still gets the job done!

smokehouse · 01-19-2009, 12:06 PM

I've got a '99 Dodge Dakota with 130,000 miles on it and other than routine maintenance and the fact that the air don't work she’s been a pretty good truck. I am done with Dodge though. The gas mileage on Dodges suck. I average about 13 miles to the gallon since I do a lot of stop and go city driving. My dad’s got a Full size Chevy Silverado and he gets better gas mileage than me. I been wanting a Chevy Silverado but if I got a good deal on an F-150 I would buy it.

Thrak · 01-19-2009, 04:48 PM

I've got a 98 Dakota w/ 178,000mi on it and the only problem I've ever had was a rear wheel speed sensor at 95k mi. I still get 25mpg out of her! (4cyl, 5sp) The radiator has developed a leak this winter, I think one of the plastic tanks has cracked...

I also have an 07 4Runner that I love, so I'm a bit torn.

01-19-2009, 12:00 PM

Like somebody else already said, it would depend the reason. Plus, I've not had a truck since my 86 Toyota 4X4. I really liked it, but to be fair, I'd have to have a look at everything out there since it's been so long...
