What say the OT truck experts?

I just finished reading an extensive article last night that included the Dodge diesel. It confirmed all the bits and pieces I had been hearing .. mostly about the F150. Forget Tundra if you are interested in MPG. Forget Dodge for a number of reasons. MPG was great but all else sucked. Chev 5.3 vs Ford 2.7 turbo is apples vs oranges comparison except for MPG. For 2015 Chev has thrown some newer technology at an old school vehicle. Mostly tried but true. The F150 looks a little like the 2014 model. That's about it. The larger engines are the same, maybe the rearend and some suspension. It's a radical change that will either go down in history as the most major advancement in trucks ever or the biggest flop. There is no real choice between the 2 you asked about. You decide by brand or technology = decision made.

While I'm a fan of the GMC I have leaned toward Ford lately. I would not buy a 2015 truck... period. I'd wait to see if GM ups there game or the Ford changes pay off.

For those diesel lovers, if your truck is a DD you should consider the price of diesel AND the extra cost of the engine before purchase. While the extra MPG may offset the price of the fuel it will never offset the cost of the engine even when considering trade in value of a light duty truck.

I just traded in an 09 Sierra for a 14 Silverado. I love it. I average 20 mpg, it drives like a Cadillac, does great off road. Best truck I've ever had. (I have owned a F150 too, but never a dodge ).

I have a 14 Sierra and so far I love the truck. It rides like a caddy and the gas milage is great.

There's a reason the F-150 has been the number one selling truck and overall vehicle for over 20 years. Ford makes a superior truck period.

Is this really a question? F-150.

SVT Raptor. Baddest truck in the fleet.

I've been gawking at both myself. I've got a 2013 F150 XLT and want a change. The problem I've got is that Mrs4LSU2 has been eyeing the 15 model Tahoes as well.

The interior of the new GM trucks are miles ahead of the Ford XLT package. I can't say the same for the Limiteds, however. She gets the limited packages around here, not me. I'd have to jerk off the dog to feed the cat to put us both in 15 model GM products.

Bought a 2014 LTZ 8 months ago, great truck.
