Got a ‘16 F150 with a 3.5 EB and with stock tires, it was a ROCKET! Leveling kit and 34” tires slowed it some, but still a very capable vehicle. 15-18 mpg in mixed driving and I have a reasonably heavy foot. Would do 19-20 when on stock tires.

You couldn’t talk me into a Dodge (call it a Ram if you want, Dodge still makes it) unless it was a short term lease where it stayed in warranty the entire time. GM? Pffffffttttt. I still remember hearing about excessive oil usage, bad lifters, now it’s bad transmissions, etc etc etc.

Tundra only way to go if fuel mileage absolutely does NOT matter. Most of them do 13-14 mpg on average and worse with leveling kit and tires, or so I’m told.

3/4 ton and up trucks aren’t what they used to be since all this emissions BS has been added to them. Reliability, mileage and performance has gone way downhill.

Titans I understand are decent trucks but resale is abysmal.

Honda Ridgeline is NOT a FS truck. If we’re adding it to the options then get a Tacoma. The new ones aren’t as good as the 2005-2015’s but they’re still a great truck.

I have a Tundra Platinum 4x4 with 5.7L with 1” lift. I have never got below 15 mpg with towing a 15” boat. Daily driving, I get over 16 mpg. My old 4.6L Tundra got 17-19 mpg, so its not terrible on gas (granted dont complain about mpg if you going fullsize truck, period).

OP. Dont buy F-150, you probably see on news every week they have a new recall. Other ones, test drive and do research. 5.3L GM is a reliable motor IMO. And dont touch Titan
