re: Getting a new truck

GM trucks look better and have two 8 banger options.

if you have the 5.0 with the 6 speed, keep it. That is the last good powertrain ford has put out in years. The new 10 speed scares me, i sold one with 72,000 miles becuase it was starting to have problems.

All of the new modern trucks have their issues. After owning both the ford 5.0 and gm 5.3, i'd go with the ford if you had to buy a new one.

I can’t even count how many Chevys I had but I bought a F150 in ‘21 new and I haven’t found anything to bitch about except maybe gas mileage. Way more comfortable seating, WAY more powerful engine (Coyote V8) vs pathetic limp wristed 5.3 (pure garbage on my ‘17 that I traded). That on/off thingy doesn’t engage in Sport Mode and there’s a button you can mash to make it stop. The screen is like a huge iPad, and that is nice with maps that are carplaying off your phone wirelessly. (GM probably has wireless CarPlay now, but didn’t on my older truck). The new Chevy/GMC’s have lifter issues. My dad had to have all his replaced.

Also, did I mention that the F150 has way more power? The auto brake hold ( keeps the brake applied even when you take your foot off the pedal until you gas it) has almost a line lock quality that I love. Especially in BR traffic. The light turns green and it’s pure launch.

The bed has more tie downs, etc and also it’s the most comfortable truck I’ve ever owned.

The only Chevy I’ve seen that looks remotely good is the Trail Boss package. Everything else is a huge arse truck with shopping buggy wheels on it. Looks weird to me. Ford came bone stock with 20’s and 35” BFGs blacked out rims etc.

I may never own another gm product again. Maybe.

I routinely got 40mpg doing 94 mph driving to DFW in a 2022 F-250 6.7. In town, 15mpg.

My problem with Chevy anything is the steering; they have always driven like a couch to me. It's just a near instant, "oh this sucks," anytime I'm driving one.

Congrats on thinking about a new truck….

I got a 2022 F150 with a Coyote 5.0 V8 engine. I thought about trading, but the prices are still BS for what you get. At this point, I might as well upgrade to a luxury vehicle if I am going to be paying 60k plus for a vehicle.

Does the 3.0 have the transmission issues as the rest of the gmc/Chevy trucks.

Looking at trading in my 2016 f150 for a newer truck. Been kicking around the idea of trading for another F150 or a Z71…I’m familiar with fords, less familiar with Chevy. What do yall think? Or do you have a different recommendation that I should consider?

Why? When it's time, I'll just drop a new engine in mine and go. Prices are too damn high.

My 2003 Silverado is still doing the task
