    personally I like the f 150. The cab is plenty big, the ecoboost is awesome. I dont know much about the other ones but I am a ford guy

    Agree with this.
    My brother in law just bought a slightly used Platinum edition F150 and that thing is one sweet ride. The ecoboost engine is what the F series has needed for years, thing has some serious kick compared to the older engines and the spongy 5.4.

    Thanks for the input I like a little about each. I like the dodge built in boxes and the Chevy new indash technology but the room of the f150 in the crew cab

    Ford F150 for sure. I've owned about every type of vehicle and the nicest and most reliable have always been my fords.

    I have a 2012 F150 that I've put about 36K on in the past two years without a hiccup. I really couldn't be happier with it. Tons of room in the cab which makes hauling hunting gear and/or people a lot nicer.

    When I was test driving trucks I drove a Dodge and it was okay, but didn't really impress me. The bed boxes are cool at first but you do lose some bed space in front of and behind the wheel wells and with a tonneau cover or cap on the truck they become worthless.

    This is nearly akin to a religious discussion.

    Though, I've always been a Ford fan. So my bias is the F150.

    I'll be following their upcoming aluminum design closely...I believe it rolls out in a couple months.

    I was pro Ford until I drove a Dodge 1500. In comparison to both the Ford and Chevy, the Dodge had much more positive feedback in the steering and ride. Not rough just more solid and positive. It also had much more power out of the Hemi. I had to sale mine but, if everything keeps going as is, I'll end up with another first of next year.

    With that being said, I guess Ford's the only choice :)

    :tu:

    I did buy a Jeep in 2013, though... But nobody else makes a Wrangler. Lots of companies make trucks.
    ...yeah I'm a hypocrite.

    Chevy or Ford definitely. Dodge is infamous for high maintenance cost after a period of time. Also my father just purchased the 2013 F150 crew and the the ecoboost engine gets him like 24 mpg and has a twin turbo. Thing is awesome.

    Let's be real here...wranglers are the only Jeeps as well lol. The other models are for women.

    Back to the trucks. I drive an F150. I like the cab. I put 45k on mine and haven't had an issue, as well as putting many many more miles on an older F150 with no issues. I drove Chevys for a job I had in college and they all had issues. As for dodge, everyone I know that has them all have HORRIBLE body rust.
