What truck should I get (srs)

[Wrench7]

OP take them for test drives, only really way to tell which you like best.

I test drove both a month ago....it made the choice even harder..

[Wrench7]

Dodge is junk unless you go for the Cummins engine, the only useful one. The Hemi in it doesn't seem refined at all compared to what SRT8's get.

The Tundra is to get a 5.0L TD Cummins in the next few years. The Tundra has by far the strongest frame and has a nice feel to the steering, doesn't make the truck feel like a heavy ocean liner. Not saying to blindly go for the Tundra, but it definitely deserves a test drive. They also don't fudge with their MPG and tow rating capacities...and done up including lift kit, they look badass but in a graceful way. Made in Detroit with the price tag to show for it...and a bit more expensive compared to others.

Ford is pretty good too. FX4 ecoboost or FX4 V8, however the ecoboost is a bit of a compromise as far as reliability and fuel mileage claims go. Whereas the 5.0L V8 is a solid choice. F350 super duty with the turbo diesel Powerstroke is one fast as balls truck. 6.7L or something.

I would love the F250 6.7 but I'm sure insurance would kill me!

[Wrench7]

it seems as almost everyone here says Ford.

[Rain50]

Ford hands down and I'm a chevy guy. There is a reason you still see so many on the road.

Exactly this^

I'm also a Chevy/GMC guy, but Fords are right up there. The newer F150s are pretty sick in terms of performance and especially looks.

This type "I'd rather be Cummins than Stroken"

Call and ask. I can't see any reason insurance would be more just because it's an F250. IIRC, my F250 was less than my lightning.

[jmonty]

I'd look into a CNG F-150. It's an interesting idea but maybe not worth it.

[gixxer0.6g]

They're both great trucks. My only reason for choosing dodge is a Ford left me stranded.

Agreed. My 07 Cummins costs less to insure than my 07 Scion TC.

[megadeth20]

Half ton trucks?

Fords towing capacity is greater, the difference in fuel mileage is negligible. But the ram has a 8 speed trans......which is laughable. Ford has better crash test ratings, Fords interior is slightly larger(more space), and Fords CS blows Dodge out of the water.

Edit: I'm a chevy guy, but new GM's blow

Why do you say the new GMs blow? I've heard the new 5.3L V8 runs great plus everything else has been redesigned.

I'll have to call tomorrow and ask but i feel like somehow itll cost more then a 150

[TriggerWarning]

how many company's run dodge as fleet trucks op? around here its ford only I am guessing there's a reason for this..

[803988294]

What about the Tundra?

[Wrench7]

around here the only fleet of trucks I see are usually semi trucks

[Wrench7]

What about the Tundra?

nope either dodge or ford

[803988294]

nope either dodge or ford

I'm not saying it's better than those two, I don't know to be perfectly honest, but I'm curious as to why you're not even considering it?

2011 Ram 1500 hemi crew cab owner checking in. all i can say is i've owned it since i bought it new and i've never had a problem, i still enjoy driving it to this day, it delivers with power and speed and comfort. basically i'm just vouching for it, don't listen to these idiot brand-homers who just say "xyz company sucks because i bought the other one"

i'm not here to tell you the ford is no good, i'm just saying i can actually vouch for the '11 ram and i'm very happy with it, so take that for what it's worth.

[yougotsonned]

Go Ford if you get the Raptor.
Go Dodge if you get a diesel.
Go Tundra if you want base model awesomeness.

Same as Chevy, just not interested in those brands

I drove a 2010 ram not to long ago and it had the most solid front end I have ever felt on a ram...I tried to buy it but didn't have enough money. It's a really hard choice between the two

[Mugsysiegel]

The f150 is the best selling truck for a reason

[redwine91]

Out of the two I would definitely go with the F-150.

But then again I like diesels and in my opinion you can't beat a NBS Duramax, especially once you've put on the aftermarket bells and whistles. (See sig)

Yea, I think the F150 is the route I'll go

I just got with geico. I pay $130/mo for full coverage on an '08 F250 powerstroke, AND an '01 cobra.

With a half ton truck im projected to pay around $200/ mo...this includes my 2010 mercury Milan, my firearms, renters and personal property...

and not a single bit of sense was made that day.

[Zerafian]

Unless your gonna enjoy modding it who cares, a truck is a truck...that being said I have strong opinions in the matter so get the ford

So your bashing Ford just because 2 guys in your family own Dodge? Sure inline is great and all....if I was looking for that
