POLL: Best full sized pickup

[Syringer]

Although they're all pretty close..I'd give the edge to the Dodge Ram.

A big ass Ford F-350 supercab dually. Oh yeah :beer:

 

[Vette73]

Add GMC to the Chevy tab, same truck for the most part but some people don't know/understand that

 

[LikeLinus]

The new F150 owns all of them.

 

[Swanny]

I'd go for the F-series.

 

[Syringer]

*cough*

 

[BatmanNate]

The F150 is the best selling vehicle (car or truck) in the USA, IIRC.

 

[Thegonagle]

Chevy Silverado 2500. 1/2 ton trucks give up too much capability, without being much cheaper, to be worthwhile trucks for towing and hauling.

 

[compudog]

I like the styling of the new Rams, but I'd go with the Chevy Silverado.

 

[EyeMWing]

F-Series being which ones? Those that were literally once called F-Series? i.e. F-350, 450, 550.

Or F-150, 250, 350, 450, 550?

What about the 650, 750?

Best full size pickup for what task?

Heavy duty stuff like towing and hauling all the time, I'll have to give a nod to Ford - they have the best super duty chassis. As much as I hate working on the freeking things. GM doesn't have a 1 ton truck anymore that has a straight front axle - it's all independant suspension now. Great for that "car like" ride that they advertise, but sucks for heavy duty applications. We run into problems where I work (fleet wholesaler), they just want to pick the nose off the ground when you load them up.

Mostly just driving back and forth ocasionally doing some hauling or towing? Like a 1/2 ton pickup? Go with GM - they have the best powertrains, especially with the Duramax and Allison combo - though they're only available in the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. I still like the 5.3 and 6.0 gas engines too - despite the cold start knock they're known for.

Dodge I despise and they don't know how to make a car, much less a truck - pitifull.

Toyota and Nissan are coming up. They already build cars better than we do, once they figure out how to build a heavy duty chassis they'll be all set and will take a significant chunk of the market. Though they'll probably never own it, like they own the car market, because well...Bubba loves his 'merican built Ford pickem up truck.

I would not touch the Dodge or Toyo with a 10 footer

Yep.. IFS = SUCK I would love to do a swap for live axel in a nice Sierra 2500 with a Dmax + Allison combo
