Perhaps this thread can result in some unbiased reviews based on
experiences with the Ford F-150, Chevy Silveraldo and Toyota Tundra.

Let's put it this way, if you want my Tundra you will have to pry it
out of my cold dead hands. It's a great truck - rides well, quiet,
nicely finished, reliable,
half-way decent fuel economy (for a V8 gas truck).

According to MSN Auto, the User rating places Ford F-150 #1, with a 7.7,
the Ram w/ 7.6 and Tundra w/ 7.3. Consumer Reports rated the old Tundra
their number 1 rated truck.

Edmunds and Car Connection rates the F-150 the best rated used truck to
buy, while Consumer Reports rates the Toyota as the best used truck to
buy.

It is obvious, that the only thing everyone can agree on, is don't buy a
GM truck.

I drive a GM truck. Diesel, 19 mpg on the freeway at 75 mph. My Son in law
drives a Tundra. Nice truck, but does not ride as near as nice as my Chevy
2500. Just feels tinny. Plus my truck has no roblem towing the 4400# of
boat and trailer while hauling a 1400# camper. Did it the last couple of
days. Averaged about 12.5 mpg, while towing the boat into a remote lake at
4000' elevation and up and down a lot of steep curvy road.


You've got a good truck.

Amen.
