gbracing81 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I've always liked the Ford crew cab dually's myself. I keep looking at trucks but can't seem to pull the trigger. I want to get myself a new truck but right now the only trucks I seem to find that are relativly affordable are the 6.0 liters and I absolutly don't want one of those. Is option A a 1500 ram pick up? If not then I would get a 3500 crew cab dually Cummins and most likely not a Big Horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, you can get a dually with a 5.4 V8 and a 6.8 V10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoolin_s14 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 tundra would get my vote, working at toyta I see the reliability and resale vale being the best of all other options. plus the capability of the 1/2 ton truck that do more than some other 3/4 tons is nice.

AngryBMW Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I have a 2007 f150 Lariat with the 5.4l and absolutely love it. I drove the Chevy and the Dodge before I bought. I loved the Chevy too but got a better deal on the Ford. The Dodge did absolutley NOTHING for me. Felt cheap and underpowered. Yes, it was a Hemi. I know my truck is not a race vehicle but it is comfortable, big, and reliable. Hauls anything I own without hesitation. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewtoys Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have been looking at a pickup to daily here and there and tow a small boat The Tacomas and tundras just lack in everything vs the Ford. I'm not a Ford guy at all but a 35k Tacoma rode like ass and the inside was so shitty. Not to mention drum brakes, horrible steering response and a v6 with no power. The Tundra I was looking at was base ace with no options for 33k. Hated everything about it. Everything is just so cheap. Drove the Ecoboost f150 and loved it. Tons of TQ and it actually rides very nice. I looked at one with with a good amount of options, back up camera, sync system, no nav or leather which is what I would want. 2013. Sticker is 39k. Could have walked away with it today for 26k after tax! Probably going back Monday to pick it up. Oh yeah Toyota had nothing off either just kept bragging about 0% which meant nothing to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry_Trapp01647545522 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 ecoboost F150 + livernois tune = high 13s! if not that, then '09+ ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Speed S4 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I've driven all them, I like the tundra the best. Then ford eco boost, then dodge ram, then chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan218 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I've drove all. Picking up these trucks from the dealer ect for my old job. Ecoboost- power was great. Very responsive. Loaded crew fx4 would be my choice. I had no complaints. Dodge- gauge cluster looks nice. That's about the only thing I liked. Although it did ride nice, have ample power. And interior was nice. Chevy- nice truck. I'm not a Chevy fan to start off with but overall the truck was much better the previous body style. Did have some major blind spots and the 5.3 I think is under powered for it Toyota- pig of a truck. Throttle response is not there. I think the interior of the truck is just cheap looking. Again though. Just my opinion. Out of all there hasn't been a Eco boost that has disappointed me. I've never expericed the lag mode and I've drove well over 100 different ones. Gas millige I have seen people complain. But I took one for 90 mile round trip. Picked up with 3 miles on it. Cluster display showed 20.3 mpg average. Someday ill buy a crew cab Eco boost. Either way can't go wrong with any if the trucks mentioned. Just depends on your preference. Out of your choices I'd say the Chevy will be your best bet. But i think you should go give the Eco boost a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
