sheerider11 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 my ford ranger finally went on me. Im in the market for a new truck. My requirements -4x4 -crew cab -under 70k miles -05 and up -gas What's everyone's choice of truck? I'm not dedicated to brands like some people. I'm dedicated to something that will start every morning for the next 10 years. What do you have, what do you like/not like, why did you get it, known problems, anything you can think of. Any brand is a go really. I'm gonna finance this. I'm looking at around 14-16k with 4500 down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrx46 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I always liked my silverados. The Rams are nice too Rams are awesome but the bodies on them always rot really bad unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 preference order looking at used tundra, Ram, Chev, GM, horse buggy, bicycle , skate board, wheel chair, maybe then a ford. Damn. Any reason why you hate ford that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprinklerman Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'd take a solid 7.3 Ford over anything currently on the market (dollar for dollar ) ..yes I'm looking at you Hummer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1JUANstunna Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 I've had my 99 Silverado (152,000 miles) for the last 13yrs with no major repairs. Just brakes, batteries and tires. I really like this Super Duty I just bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Bottom line is all manufactures have good trucks and junk ones. But for the most part they are all solid when taken care of. Seems like if someone owns any vehicle and gives two fucks about maintenance,(including washing) trucks can and will usually last a very long time without major repair. Ive own my current truck since new. Its a 2006 gmc with 62,*** miles. Only repairs i had were last yr. I had to replace 2 power steering lines. Other then that, its been just brakes and tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Because they're genuine pieces of shit.But how many have you owned and what was the main issue(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 my 05 ram wasnt bad... 130K miles was poorly treated every 2 years or so... dings and scratches, rarely washed ect... rust started to get the best of it in 2014 aka bubbles in the fenders and under the doors where rocks commonly hit... properly cleaned and treated it would of stayed A1 heard the 2015 GM's have issues with the paint peeling.... but thats a prep issue from factory.... warranty gots that.... Ford is just not my cup o tea... as special said.... 80% of my buds have fords.... ill stick to being a passenger when being in one. I was trying to stay away from dodge as the rot is a huge issue. I'm in Nj and salt is a problem. I'm also 30 minutes from the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burke Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 rust will get as bad as you allow it... everything new is thin & cheap... everything rusts up north Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 FFS..... this is the ultimate debate. Buy what you can afford, and buy one that has been cared for. They all have their hi and low. The Internet has made every slapdick who can read an expert on automotive knowledge. Try them all, be sure you're happy, drive it home.
