OK, if we all want to debate trucks, I'll chime in since I drove 6 full-size ones last year. I have listed them in preferential order with pros and cons of each:
1) Nissan Titan:
Pros: gobs of power and towing capability, handled well, fun to drive, looks mean, great chassis
Cons: front brake issues for 04 models, interior material not desirable
2) Ford F150 (5.6L IIRC)
Pros: solid chassis, fit and finish suprisingly impressive
Cons: sluggish tranny, resale value, Ford reliability
3) Dodge Ram 1500
Pros: decent power, good tranny
Cons: towing capacity, interior was blah
4) Toyota Tundra
Pros: reliabililty, drives well, resale value, comfortable, fuel economy
Cons: power, towing capacity, boring as hell to drive
5) Chevy Silverado 2500
Pros: turbo diesel, need I say more? responsive tranny
Cons: resale value, price, chassis is 5-6 years behind everyone else, reliability, interior quality
6) Chevy Silverado 1500 (5.7L)
Pros: responsive tranny
Cons: resale value, price, chassis is 5-6 years behind everyone else, reliability, interior quality
