That's what's so good about it! :)

That's the concept truck they did back in 2011.....All Terrain HD. Be pretty cool if they are going to make them.

I don't think they look that bad. Looks like they just changed the grill to the HD grill and used the GMC headlights. A few other minor changes but nothing major.

Unless you're talking about this fugly thing. But I think this prototype was done way back when they were thinking about bringing the Cheyenne back which I believe was turned into the Colorado, somewhere around 2003

FF_T_Warren 06-12-2012 09:55 AM

Yea that's the one I saw. That other one is sweet

specktator 06-12-2012 09:59 AM

Glad they are starting to make some changes. That's why I went with the F-250 when I got a new truck this past winter. I had a 2008 HD Z71. Started looking at the 2012s and it would have been the exact same truck as my 08 if I went with a Chevy again. Need to update them things.

I sure like the wheels on this truck!!!!

Big Kahunaz 06-12-2012 10:59 AM

That all terrain is sick! They definitely need to make some modifications to newer models to stay competitive. That silver one labeled 2014 looks way to similar. What the hell? Lol.

Asterisk-Rich 06-12-2012 11:10 AM

I think they look pretty sweet

Top Dawg 06-12-2012 01:43 PM

I drive a GMC now for the last 6 years and it'll be the last one I ever own. $32,000 piece of junk.

Make sure u get helium in your tires!

I've owned both chevy and ford and never had a problem with either make
Good lookin truck is all I'm sayin....

kbolton 06-12-2012 04:42 PM

Hey W, why not give a fellow Salty Cajun a shot at your business? Do you live in or near Jennings? If so, I don't want to take anything away from the Oustalets (good people). I'm also not interested in exploiting this website to "sell" to anyone... that would get annoying, fast. I just figured I would drop a line in case I can help in any way. Thanks to everyone who is supporting Ford right now. The product is second to none.

Have been a Ford owner for close to 12 years now and it was the best move I have ever made. The only thing missing from this one is being an FX4

Have an 03 Ford . It has been very reliable. Changed the battery , idle arm when I got a front end alignment. Have it serviced at Bolton. Less trouble than any vechile I have owned. The only negative is the gas mileage it has the 5.4. Pulls great but gets thirsty.

Montauk17 06-12-2012 07:28 PM

Chevy and GMC are both fugly.....not to mention GM's quality went way down after the cat eye front end on the 05-06. Sheet metal is super thin and interior is very cheaply made. The seats on my gpaws 09 is already falling apart and he takes care of his vehicles. Metal is so thin on the newer models you can push in the tailgate and fenders with your index finger.

i switched over to ford when the previous model chevy came out.....couldn't stand the front end ....then i ended up owning one .....seats were like lazy boys :) (liked that for the road trips)....but if you ask me...since the funky front ends of the previous models...they've come a LOOOOOOOONG WAY!

They're all like that now. Got 2 fords in the shop now that were light front end impacts and the cheapest repair is over $!2k. All manufacturers are going thin and easy crumple zones.

Yep....I was about to pull the trigger on a new f150 and I noticed the same. About to buy a 05 z71 instead.

fishinpox 06-12-2012 09:42 PM

Past 2 have been f-150's
Want to upgrade to a diesel either a f250 or hd 2500 Chevy but still can't stomach the whole Obama GM bailout$. I'll prolly drive this one another 20k miles then get te f250

southern151 06-12-2012 09:46 PM

You buy a new Ford diesel, you better hope you like the rentals! The new diesel is major headaches for those who own em! The last real good diesel they had was the 7.3.

Thanks Top Dawg. Contact me any time, and I'll be happy to help. I'll warn you though, I'm better at drinking coffee and talking fishing than selling cars and trucks!

The truth is, all manufacturers are having a difficult time producing a bullet-proof diesel engine that can meet or exceed the emissions requirements set forth by our federal government. The new 6.7 diesel is the closest engine we've seen to the 7.3 in years. Fortunately, we've had very few problem cases in our shop and we handle as much or more diesel work than dealers in Lafayette or Baton Rouge. Most problems are caused by user error. For example, many customers modify the exhaust system or shift strategies in an effort to gain power or fuel economy. Then when something goes wrong, they want to blame the dealer or the manufacturer. You wouldn't believe the stories I've heard......

Yeah those Cummins engines are tough, its just the transmission bolted too it and everything else around them that ain't worth a crap.

Yep. Duramax is a good one too but, the mileage isn't the same. Inline 6 will always be tough to beat.

got no complaints about mine but it is a farm truck so it is a no frills version. hand crank windows, manual locks and rubber floor mats. but it can pull a 24ft gooseneck with over 10,000lbs of cattle like there is nothing back there

I won't argue that they will haul their butts off, but most of the guys I know that have them have had lots of trouble out of their transmissions once they get over 100,000 miles and a buddy of mine that has a lawn care and bush hogging company that pulls a trailer daily has had to replace his trans at 70,000 miles as well as power window motors and even rusting. He does say though that he will continue to buy Dodges until someone else comes out with a stronger diesel.

The "GREAT W" has spoken. Until he buys Dodge or his family political friend buys one it's junk.
