Ive had em all. Theyre all good when they run. If it goes down the road ill drive it but my preference would be toyota. I'lle try any road and it takes a heck of a truck to take my beating.

LOL, yes well, atleast you keep the fix'in and gas'in money in YOUR pocket.

I just want a truck that is well built. Had a ford (I LOVED this truck) and it was a looker not a worker, driving a Nissan now, don't love it but it does most of what I need (except heavy trailer hauling).

Actually, it would take North American labor and materials to build those trucks here, that means jobs and wages. People who buy more stuff and pay taxs, those owners make good money, but on the volume of product, not on an individual vehicle.

I drive a 2003 ford and have driven ford trucks for the last 14 years.  With that said, this will be the last ford i will ever own.  Nickles and dimes break banks.  I know several toyota owners and they all love there trucks and don't have to deal with the break downs.

Nice looking pickup Issiah, Black is sharp when it's new and clean. It's not so good for a farm truck though, every speck of dirt and little scratch shows. I have an idea this will be my last black truck. Back to red this fall I hope.

Ha Ha, That is a "Brush Breaker" they are pretty exclusive to Southeastern and Cape cod Mass. We drive them through the wood's for forest fire's. Lot's of town's buy them brand new built on all wheel drive chassis but our town is poor so we got an excess property Duece and a half,  then Had a certain Cranberry farmer and his brothers build it from scratch. They are built and skid plated to drive over trees. I have a link here for you. I have a second one in the works for our other station right now.

No way would NYS ever allow that machine to be in a barn....We get lucky sometimes and the rangers will transport you in.
We left two rangers on a 500 acre parcel that was burning with homes all around it. We had our 6 wheelers going and guys brought their own personal
wheelers to transport help and water. The forest rangers told us we had to get the machines out of there. One company had their old Dodge power wagon.
It carries 500 gallons of water. But the forest rangers could use their 6 wheelers to get into the fire... We all just started packing up and leaving. The poor rangers were dumbfounded. Saying we couldn't leave them there.
We said yup we can, it's state land. We are only responsible for the homes. We'll go watch them to keep them from burning.....They told us the machines could stay.
Nice rig Harrie!! You guys do some great work with metal and tubing!!
Oh and I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota sport and a 1991 Jeep Wrangler...

You should look into that further....Toyota has probably the most parts "made" in America, as well as most are assembled in the US.
Second would be Dodge, and then Ford....Chevy falls a distance behind them. Most of the parts and assembly go on in Canada or Mexico.... >:(

totally agree that they toyota is assembled and made here however the profits dont stay here which is most important to me...this is why we are in some of the trouble we in.......and yep most of chevy is assembled and parts made elsewhere .....sword with double edge on both counts....ill stick with american company until our profits go elsewhere...........all my equipment is american company owned and will be until i cant do that no more but i do have foriegn stuff to because I have to.....not want to but have to....just my opinion and appreciate yours...keep them coming...im ok with others and there opinions

A friend of mine is a diehard ford guy. He went to go buy a new F250 loaded ad the salesman told him he wouldn't negotiate the price. He ended up getting a new loaded Chevy for almost 10k less and likes it a lot. The selectable cylinder usage doesn't hurt with gas prices either.

Sounds we're in the same boat, I just decided to keep my 1997 silverado instead up upgrading. I know the truck well and it's been in the family sinnce it was new.

That sounds cool, just what I'm looking for.  When the time comes, I won't be in a rush to get something.  I'd rather have someone looking for what I want than to get stuck buying something I didn't just because I rushed the purchase.

so i'd like to change my vote from chevy to toyota.after working in an automotive repair shop for the last 2.5 years i'v seen all the troubles that happen with certain vehicles.i work as a service manager for this repair shop part of my job has me running VIN codes with tells me everything anyone would want to know about that vehicle.its amazing how many of the "American" vices are built in canada or mexico,and those American vehicles all seem to have ongoing troubles in certain areas like chevy is known transmission and front end problems dodge seems to have some serious front end issues es pically with there front axle u-jhoints and ball joints, and ford has issues with there brake calipers and steering racks.all that being said the toyotas(tundra) that come in seem to have few problems.1 customer who is a contractor and hauls a trailer every day just put his first set of brake pads and rotors on and he is at 133,000 miles that seems to be unheard of on anyother vehicle a few other toyota customers have replaced tires so far and thats it other than oil changes and air filter.last year i bought a new 2010 tundra and i will say that i'll never buy another chevy truck! my toyota deff could out haul any other 1/2 ton truck and will keep up with any 3/4 ton truck,and believe me i'v put it to the test the ride is better than the 08 chev i had and the gas mileage is about the same.if you want to owen a truck and haul a load or whatever than u really shouldn't be to worried about gas mileage anyway its a truck don't expect to get 30 miles to the gallon.oh yes and so far most toyotas i'v come across were built right here on american soil buy an american tax payer and shipped by an american shipping company all of who pay taxes spend there money here in the states

I think it was a late 60s early 70s...sold it for $500 bucks before high school. definitely regret that.

Nothing but Chevy for me ,Fords are HUGE on poor fuel economy ,Dodges sre even worse and I wouldn't by a Toyota ,loyal to American made trucks .Around here it's about 65% Chevy , the other 35% is divided between those who can't afford them and go with Fords ( a lot cheaper here then a Chevy would ever be ) and the few die hards that drive the Dodges ,although most are complaining about the bad milage they get per tank of fuel ! Those that drive Toyota ?? not sure why ,budy bought one and it's milage is about half of what my Chevy gets out of one tank ,and the ride isn't very smooth ! poor choice I'd say

They rust out before you get those kind of miles out of them around here. My 02 Dodge has 74,000 miles and im fighting rust already. I know Dodge is junk but everone has the same problem with the liquid de icer they put on the roads.
I had 234000 on my 2000 Tacoma the frame had a rust hole through it & Toyota gave me $12000 for it, so I went out & bought a new 1 back in Oct. 2011. Will Ford, Chevy or Dodge do that, I don't think so. I get 24 mpg. My son has a Tundra gets 17 mpg & he hauls a mini excavator around w/no broblem. Of course back in 1986 I had a Ford F150 of the same year & I hauled a 350 John Deer dozer, I couldn't stop on a dime but I got it stopped when I needed to, I wouldn't recomend to do it every day.

Reading all this has me itching to get the project truck ASAP ! Those old motors were great ,and easy to maintain  ( although I am still partial to a performance motor......500 to 600 HP ) and you could build them up so easily unlike the new motors ! Doesn't any one have any older trucks ? would enjoy seeing pic's

And the one truck I will always miss is, in 1985 I bought a 1984 Toyota 4x4 long bed with a 22R motor in it with a 2"lift, from a guy who lost his job and couldn't make the payments....That truck was a beast in the Michigan sand dunes...  Had over 200,000 miles on it when I sold it 16 years later for $700..... :o :o    But the box was almost completely gone.....

Ive had several f-150's,stepped up to a big boy truck and got  a 2004 f-250 crew cab 4x4 6.0l diesel, sold that and got a 2001 dodge 2500 ext cab 4x4 with a 24v cummins, picking up a 2005 silverado 3500 crew cab 4x4 with a duramax and allison tranny on friday!

so far my favorite truck is the f-250 plenty of power and plenty of cab room got rid of it because the 6.0l is a nickel and dimer.

the dodge it like riding in a tank and the tranny is a POS

Cant say much about the chevy yet...

ive always been a ford guy and i always will be i think, but figured id give the other 2 a chance before going back to a ford

Chevy / GMC here ,father in law is a HUGE ford man ,but everytime I drive his truck I feel awkward ? feels so wrong ! Guess I'm a die hard Chevy man .looking for a 64-67 GMC to fix up as the total truck for me ! I  think when they came up with all the censors  and stuff they started distroying  them

I own a 2011 Ford Ranger XLT. Need some advice. I would like to add an extra 4-inch of ground clearance on my truck. What brand of suspension lift kit (http://4wheelonline.com/Suspension_Lift_Kits.24) should I go for?

went from a 2012 Ram 1500 to a new 2017 Ford F150 this year... love both the trucks but this time around the Ford was the better choice price wise for us!! with the end of year rebates and discounts I couldn't pass up the deal Ford was offering!! only have a 1000 miles on it now so I cant tell you how ill feel in a year from now

I udes to be a Ford guy for years, until I bought a Tundra last fall. I absolutely love the quality compared to Fords, and I must admit I never thought that Japanese could come up with such a nice vehicle...

Got chevy and ford and I'd say both are dependable.  I have a ford recently bought and boy it's been amazing specially the upgrades and mileage performance.

I'm to customize my Ford F-150 into a more off-road driving capable truck. I already found the lift kit I need but I'm still undecided with the tires I'll be using since there's a lot of good options. Should I stick with toyo tires (https://4wheelonline.com/Toyo-Off_Road_Mud_Tires.25) open country?
