adamsfence how do you like yours

For the 100k warranty, ALL scheduled maintenance must be done by the dealer, even the crap that isn't necessary. Buy the Ford, but honestly, since you aren't buying it from me, I don't really care either way, it's your money.

yea, thats what i heard too, taught about getting one though also heard they had alot of power, the 4.7 L pulls pretty good, i bet the 5.7 is a beast.

he aint gonna get any kind of mileage either way... add 20's and big mud tires and you will be lucky to get 15 with either one

About Fuel Economy Ratings

A truck's actual gas mileage usage is never tested in the real world -- no wind resistance, no accessories running. To top it off, simulated speeds are far less than the average driver drives. Use EPA ratings to help you compare vehicles in a class, but don't count on them for an accurate projection of your actual gas mileage.

GM/Dodge= obama and union ran bailout company

Ford= didn't take any bailout money

I'd consider a US built Toyota..but I think I will stick to Ford's

i get 20 mpg in my tacoma and 13-15 pulling my boat.... im happy with that

[slick143]

I say the ford also. Every truck ive had has been a ford and have not had problem with any of them. The only way i would buy a dodge is if it was a diesel them things are bad aQ$Q

The new style tacoma is very impressive for a v6. I know a few people that pull 22 foot bay boats with them.

Ford over a Dodge any day of the week. However, a Yota or Chevy over those two...

I have an 04 Dodge with 4.7.......gas milage SUCKS!! it has good power, very tourguie!! But ALWAYS buy the biggest engine you can get......gas is the same either way......

I'd get the cummins. ......you'll love it!!!

[Dink]

BTW. ......you couldn't give me a Ford......my friends have had to many problems

[Deerfarmer]

I've had fords for years. Left Chevy after numerous problems that they could't fix. 174,000 miles on a 5.4 expedition, 200,000 miles on a 5.4 f-150 4X4, 110,000 miles on a f-250 Super duty 4X4. All with no problems. GO WITH THE FORD. Had a Dodge for a company truck. Gas mileage sucked. Great power with the Hemi though. Now have a 2010 Ford F-150 crew cab 2 wheel drive company truck. Gets 19.4 mpg consistantly.

My last 3 trucks were Dodge, Chevy, Ford. In that order.
Dodge diesel lasted 4 years, loved the torque and mileage, but it was too loud and too
much vibration. Body started falling apart.
Chevy was a lemon. I dated the warranty clerk for Chevrolet, she saved me a bundle.
But I traded it in after 3 years when the warranty ended.
Bought the Ford 7.3L diesel and had it for 12 years so far.
Never kept any truck more than 3 or 4 years, except for this one.
I did have an F-350 with a 460 CI gas engine back in the mid 80's. Good truck,
pulled good, terrible mileage.
