  • shopping for a truck

    looking for a 2012/2013 crew cab 2wd w/tow pkg. So far, Dodgee, errr, Ram (wtf) is leading the pack w/the hemi , options, and looks. F*rd is a close second in looks, but is slightly more expensive then all. the chebby so far is slightly cheaper, but looks like azz. I caint do azz, at least not this type of azz.

    Should have something in a week or so for the other rides section, but soon I shall have another tow vehicle, just not in OH.

    I like my chevy 4x4 with the 6.0L. Gas mileage isn't good but oh well.

      I'm a fan of that Ecoboost engine they have in the F150 and they've got a nice interior and aren't bad looking outside either. Not sure if you're looking at 1/2 ton though. I think the 2/350s are pretty ugly. The new Ram seems to do great in this years reviews, and I think they are absolutely gorgeous trucks. As much of a Chevy guy I've always been, I must agree that the Chevy's are seriously trailing behind in looks, even after seeing the 2014 refresh, which is a small improvement imo. With the F150 taking truck of the year for 2012 and Ram 1500 taking it for 2013, you can't go wrong with either, but with the looks of that Ram, I'd have to leave the ford at the lot.

        The Silverado is not that bad. Rams have always been good, but I'm digging the F150 Raptor.

        It just depends what you want to do with the truck that should determine what you wanna go for.

              I'm looking at Silverado's, I love the newer body style. Price is right for them, and add some fenderflares along with a 6 inch lift and a 3 inch body lift...:drool:

              I like Dodge Rams, but I vow never to buy a dodge product. They have the WORST quality assurance I have every seen in any product. Seriously, non of their **** lasts, maybe it's different for the trucks, but man, everything else they sell is garbage.

                I too have seen many a caravan spewing the blue smoke of death, but their trucks have been catching my eye, and with the the f*rd & dodges at the same dealership, the dodge impressed me more. Now I'm just waiting on my factory order to arive.......

                  you didnt like the Raptor? As much as I love chevy, the Raptor is hands down my number one choice of a truck if money was no option.

                  Congrats on your purchase though, like I said, besides my dislike for dodge, I do think they have the meanest looking trucks on the market (aside from the raptor)

                    My dad has had his '97 Ram 2500 V10 for 12 years now and the only things that have gone wrong with it in that time besides the famous 90s clear coat (like most trucks, it's never seen a garage) was one of the window switches and the low note of the horn. I couldn't possibly complain about the reliability of that rig.

                          got a call from dealer, due to parts issue w/te 8sp auto there wll be a 2mos delay. I could eithe wait or get a truck w/6spd. I'm not in any hurry so I'll have two mos to get some interest in bank and no car payments.
