What's your Pick up truck brand of choice?

[churchmouse]

Even though Toyota sales is what keeps me employed I'm partial to the Ram. I drool every time I see a new body style Power Wagon.

I have owned 2 early 50's era Power wagons. You have not lived until you experience one of these.

Ford guy here for the reliability, but my dream truck would be a dodge body style, with a GM 454 under the hood, and the rest of the power train would be Ford

I could only vote for 1. I would have voted for Ford too.

ford trucks just wish we had diesel ranger

If I were buying new it would be Toyota so that was my vote. Having said that, I have been driving a Ford Supercrew 4x4 for the last 8 years and it has been very trouble free.

Only ever bought bowties. Only ever will. Have driven all of the big three and all I only looked the Chevy.
Currently a 2005 2500HD with duramax.

I voted other because I haven't owned a pick-up for over 15 years. Don't have a need for one and they take up too much garage space. Jeep Wranger man myself. I have a trailer to hook to the Jeep when I need to haul something, otherwise I tool around in a 45mpg Toyota Yaris.

I wish they still made these.

I want a truck...

I voted Ford, but I drive a Nissan. I like Ford's product. Owned a Ranger for several years and really enjoyed the solid equipment and great performance. It did what it was supposed to do, every time. Had to sell the Ranger (getting old and needed a bigger cargo bed). Found a great price on a Nissan Titan. Research told me that Nissan bought a Ford 150 and back engineered to match it, so i bought it. Titan is a great truck.

After that great Superbowl commercial by Chrysler about the American farmer, I will have to take another look at the Dodge Ram. Any company that recognizes the creative work of God and the splendid example of the American farmer deserves a second look.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

GM all the way. I'm on my 3rd GM truck, my 1st was a '96 s-10, loaded and sexy (I miss that truck) had to sell for financial reasons ; 2nd was a '90 Cheyenne (totaled by a cadillac) ; 3rd still going strong '96 GMC 4x4 extended cab long bed, only problem is it has the turning radius of an aircraft carrier. I attempted a Jeep Grand Cherokee for several years, I had more problems with rear axles on it, I'll never buy another chrysler.

 

[Glockowner]

I doubt Honda deserves a place on the list. I had a Honda car, that I really liked. But they do not make anything I would consider a truck.


I prefer Chevrolet, and have only ever owned GM trucks. Last time I was truck shopping I considered all brands, but I got the best deal on my '05 Silverado.

 

[lovemachine]

My first truck was a '90 F150. 2nd truck was a '99 Dodge Ram Sport.

I currently drive a Jeep.

I'd love to have another truck. I miss having one. My first reaction would be to try a Chevy, since I've never had one. But I'm liking the Toyota's A LOT. But I really really like the new Ford and Chevy's....

 

[88GT]

I voted Ford, but it largely depends. Anything in the last 10-15 years, Ford will get my vote. Particularly if we're talking 3/4 ton or larger.

But I really like the 5.7 Vortecs Chevy had in the '90s.

 

[eldirector]

Went ahead and picked Chevy, though I would prefer a GMC. Build quality (fit and finish) seem a bit better. Handles well, easy to drive, plenty of power and economy. For what I do, my truck is awesome.

If I needed a brand new full-sized work truck, I'd likely go Ford. Better all-around drivetrain in their heavier-duty (F450/550) applications.

If I wanted a small truck, then Toyota. Simply bullet-proof.

Ideal truck? GMC Crew-cab body (and interior), Cummins powerplant, 6-speed MANUAL (ZF6) from a Ford, some sort of gear-drive transfere case (Atlas?), rear Dana 80, and front Dana 70. Oh, yeah.....

 

[Kedric]

Ford guy for sure. I have driven Fords, Chevys and Dodges, and the Fords have just been the most dependable, had the fewest problems, and given the best service for me and my family over the years.

I also really like most of the older Ford styling cues, though I vastly prefer the looks of any of the older trucks (approximately pre-2000 or so) to ANYTHING on the market currently, by any manufacturer!

Runner up for me would be either Dodge or Toyota, tough I am not really sold on the Toyota styling.

 

[lovemachine]

I miss the small "wing" windows on the F150's from the early 90's. I loved those things.

 

[lowriderjim]

I prefer Fords if used as a truck and a GMC if it is to be used as a car.

The only 2 pick up trucks we have ever had were Ford. We had a 70's f100 custom (I think) when I was a kid... Now I have my 01 F250 SD.

When I was looking, chevys were to high priced because they only came with all the upgrades you don't want in a work truck. I don't want a dodge due to issues either being in the tranny or where ever their problems originate. Ford won. They make work trucks you don't feel bad for using.
