Which one would you pick? Car reviews rank the Ram high, but we all know that it has dependability issues, so that it a deal-killer for me.

What does the OT say?

It's all a matter of personal preference. Why do you care what truck others may pick? Make your own decision.

Tundra is probably the nicest on the inside. Just cant get over that lousy gas mileage.

Chevy trucks run forever. Everyone I know that has one pushes them well over 200K miles. Mine is at 180K.

I've owned them all minus the dodge and I had access to one at work. Tundra is by far the truck with the least maintenance issues. The only drawback to the Tundra is the gas mileage and really, that's not enough of a difference to matter. I will never drive anything but a Tundra again.

I prefer the way the Chevy looks and handles/rides. The Tundra is going to have the highest quality, but I just cannot stand the way that Toyotas ride. So for me, personally, I'm going Chevy/GMC.

Ford is just meh. Although, the old F150s of the early and mid 90s were the tits.

Tundra V8 gets absolutely terrible gas mileage.

F-150 interior feels plastic
The 6cyl turbo engines are doodoo

GM trucks’ 8 speed transmission is terrible and has class action lawsuits against it.
Some of their V8s are giving problems.

The only answer is 2019+ Ram.

The 2019+ Titan is also worth a look.
Reliable. Good MPG. Nice ride.
They’re just ugly.

My current truck is an 2019 F150 with the V8.
I get 20-22 MPG consistently.
The drawbacks are:
1. My Ram’s interior was much nicer
2. The 10 speed transmission shifts a little rough at times

People like to shite on Ram, but they are 100% making the best truck right now.

The Tundra is very reliable, but that MPG is just too much for me to ignore.

Silverado/Sierra

I've owned three Ford's and the Silverado/Sierra is light years ahead of Ford in terms of drivability and performance. My 5.3L (DFM disabled by Pulsar LT) and 10 speed tranny will run like a scalded dog. I've got the auto locking rear end so any time I start to feel it slip you can feel the rear lock and tires bite.

The interior features and luxury between Ford and GM are even now, IMO. Ram has a lot of bells and whistles but the screen interface is buggy and not user friendly.

My only suggestion is to stay away from an Ecoboost engine. I had one in my last F150 and the claims of misfiring under acceleration and turbo lag are 100% true. Also, timing chain isn't easy (or cheap) to replace and will go bad at any moment past 100k miles.

The 5th gen? You know it's an almost entirely different truck right? Mine has been fantastic.

Tundra for sure. But the Chevy trucks with the Vortec were tanks. The EcoTec bullshite is horrible. Lifter problems and it ain’t cheap. Jury is still out in the new Tundras so I wouldn’t buy one myself until they are out at least 3 years although I can’t see Toytota messing up.

I have had 6 F-150s and I will continue to buy them. I never once had a problem with each of the 6 for the lifetime of each truck. I feel that is pretty good odds considering how many people have car trouble in the world.
