Quoted from ovfdfireman:Go Ford, Chevy, or Dodge. Are you just driving or pulling, or pulling a lot....what’s the purpose of the truck
I have owned an F-150 for years, I have had six. I now own a 2017 F250 but the truck is pulling 80% of its miles, the larger engine is nice for hitting 75mph with a 30’ trailer.
If you want a smooth riding good fuel economy truck the F150 will do you well. If pulling a lot then the eco boost is NOT the way to go. If just pulling here and there, or light, ecoboost is very fuel efficient. It’s twin turbo charged v6 will pull with great torque and power, but the least efficient way possible....lots of air/fuel.
Dodge is definitely for the full time puller if you are going diesel can’t beat a Cummins, though many professional pullers use F250 or F350 if heavy duty is needed.
Good info here. I’m A city guy that doesn’t pull or haul unless it’s an occasional trailer for the mower etc. I have an F-150 FX4 King Ranch. I totally love it!
Part of it is what’s comfortable. I’ve driven a Ford Expedition for years. The Ford truck was more comfortable than changing to Toyota or Chevy.
Toyota seems to be well rated, but just didn’t feel right.
