I want to know everyone's opinion. What's the best overall truck nowdays? What do you like or don't like about your truck.(hauling capacity, fuel mileage, ride, comfort etc...) What's better? Go with a 6.0L gas engine or deisel???
I personally don't have an opinion right now as to which truck I will be getting in the future. I have a '99 GMC ext cab 4x4 right now and have no real compliants with it. I would keep it for a few more years but I plan on getting a 5th wheel camper in the next year or so and know my current truck won't pull it. I've had a dodge before and found it to be a tough durable truck but that it rode like a lumber wagon. I haven't driven the newer ones to see what they're like. I test drove a 2005 Ford crew cab 4x4 with the 5.4L v8 today and it totally changed my opinion on fords. The last one I drove was a '98 and I found that I would have needed a kidney belt, some knee pads,(I'm 6'4 and my knees kept hitting the dash) to be able to drive it for more than an hour. The one I drove today I found to be quite comfortable even though I have strong opinions against paying that kind of $$$ and only getting a park bench for a front seat. I haven't driven the full size toyota or nissan and don't really want to go down that road.
That's why I'm asking you guys what your thoughts are on trucks. What problems have you found with each make? Would you buy another one?? etc... I'm thinking either a 1/2 crew cab with the heavy duty package and the biggest motor I can get in in or a 3/4 ton.
