If you could have any truck on the market, which truck would you choose and why? I work around all makes and models and drive just about everything available. So far as looks go the new Ford's are sweet on the inside The new dodges are a close second. Everytime I get into a Dodge with a diesel, I pee a little bit. I really want either a 2006 Dodge MegaCab 3500 4x4 shortbed dually. I've also been wanting a new Ford F350 crewcab 4x4. Loaded and with diesel of course, either one. Forget what I want, what would you want? Aaaaand pa-lease don't tell us you looking at new camry, cause frankly cars are for women. :rolleyes:
The Dodge would NEVER be a choice for me. The Ford is nice, but I would have a hard time choosing between a new Chevy or Ford. I have had ALOT of trouble with Ford auto trans. I love Chevy and I think the Alisson trans is going to be the best in the bunch. Especialy if you are going to mod this truck. But who on this site mods things???????
Would not buy any new truck on the market right now. Just give me the same amount of cash as what one of those cost and see what I build!! It would be diesel, yes a Cummins, twin turboed, lifted and crew cab!!
my friends and i had this discussion a few days ago and i came to the conclusion if i won the lottery id buy a duramax crewcab 2500 and deliver it Mr. Chip Foose. The Duramax IMHO is hands down the most fun diesel to drive and can put up with a whole lot of bagging, trust me I know ;) 12 seconds down the 1/4 strip in 4wd and the A/C on, and then drive it home.
I'd just buy a nice midsize, when someone actually makes one. I have no use for a 10-20k lb towing capacity.

the problem with this is that with the HP these trucks are putting out they are all gas guzzlers and if you are gonna get a gas guzzler why not get a diesel instead and get some decent fuel mileage as well. On top of this if you are buying used these diesels are not much more money than the gas pots and they last twice as long. A gas pot seems to only be good up until 200-250k miles. there are of course exceptions but once a head gasket goes it seems that the life of the engine is near its end. And the only midsize I can think of is the ford ranger which is discontinued and being replaced by a 3/8 ton chassis.

I'm not really sure what the hp/diesel debate has to do with my post, granted the smaller trucks don't have great gas mileage, but the big v6 models still typically have as good or better as the most fuel efficient versions and engines in the half ton or higher classes, and some are right up there with diesels (which are still all below 20mpg average EPA combined ratings). My point is I have no use for a pickup that big, and I dont' really care to have a huge lumbering 19 foot land yacht unless it has a distinct, specific and exclusive purpose for which no other vehicle will suffice.
Midsize trucks I can think of off the top of my head:
Ford Ranger
Dodge Dakota
Mitsubishi Raider (they might have stopped these this year)
Chevrolet Colorado
GMC Canyon
Isuzu i-Series (might have canned them in 08/09 too)
Nissan Frontier
Suzuki Equator
Toyota Tacoma
And probably one or two I forgot. Plus there's the chinese pickup coming later this year too. These are all what I'd call midsize or compact trucks, some like the dakota are more midsize while the ranger is more of a compact.
i would take a 27 ford pick up....... my absolute dream truck.
if not i would love a cherry 97 f350 powerstroke
fair enough mad dog 8) it wasnt a gasse/diesel debate i was after. I seriously have absolutely use for a big duramax, but if money were no object i would buy one in a heartbeat (lol im punny) over a ranger or dakota anyday (and yes ive owned both). But to each thier own, and sorry for getting off topic here. ;)
Ford svt raptor cuz they are sweet. Plus how cool would it be to haul your raptor with your raptor?
:nod:
49 chevy on s-10 frame channeled 6.0 4l60e on air ride. 18's up front 20's out back steelies. soild but rusty and shitty
Every vehicle I ever owned was a Dodge - until I got my Ford F350.
I'm not a convert yet, but there's no denying the amount of interior room in a Ford. And the Sync system is awesome.
I wouldn't mind a Unimog. I don't know what specific model but I'm not too picky either.
Here you go Phucker! I have your 97 F-350! :clap:

Brand new Ford F-450 dully to pull my toy hauler I also can't afford.

Nice choice on the Excursion. I love the idea of this. I have also been behind the wheel of a few 3/4ton burbs with the 498 gas motor. Man that is a sweet motor.

Love my truck, but would really like about 1000 ft-lbs under the hood. So maybe twin turbos and some serious fuel system upgrades and then I'd be happy.

Ford 6.4 ftw. Im probably around 900ft lbs of tq and im on 3rd highest tune. The race tune gets around 1000-1100 lbs of torque with just the tune. exhaust, intake.
i have always wanted a new dodge power wagon with a cummins in it. :nana:

:nun:
i would have a 2005 Chevy 2500 4 door with the quadrasteer feature. Anyone who has ever parked a big truck as walmart knows why! I would want a small lift so i could fit slightly larger tires (BFG) on walker evens street bead lock rims. Add some neoprene seat covers, winch, heavy bumpers, a custom built rack on top with 3 lights facing forward, one to each side, and two to the rear. Rack would need hold a quad if needed. No stupid center plastic arm rest, want seating for 6 passengers. Must be black with lineX on the bed and the bottom 15 inches of the body. I will have to add more later.

I'd settle for one of these too.

I'm thinkin our 2004 dodge was perty close to perfect, although I would change 2 things, make it a one ton and a dually. Other than that I feel that is the best eng. for pulling.
Even though tracy is still hung up on the Ford thing, she is coming around :D
Totally hate the Dodge interior. The perfect truck would be my 2005 F350 with a 24v Cummins in it, IMHO.
Yep, I'd build a Ford truck with the Allison auto and 24v 5.9. And if it's a 4x4 I'd ditch that stupid Dana 50 and stick a 60 under it.

I really like my trans, I think the TorqueShift 5R110 is every bit as good as the Allison that GM puts in the trucks. And the Dana50 is no more in the 05 and newer trucks. All the coil spring front ends are 60's.
I have a 99 so I'm stuck with the D50 with leaves. I'll have to come rob Tonto's truck for it's axle on a long weekend.
