I'd buy an LTZ 4wd and get rid of the Ford.

Well, that's a tough one.

Just generally, 4WD will return a higher % of value on resell or trade. So there's that.

They are about evenly matched though, what with the options.

Hmmm....

You can get the LTZ with the Z71 suspension package. For 2WD truck, I'd for with LTZ.

My 4wd high country comes in next week. Would have gone with LTZ but I liked the idea of the 6.2L.

Chevy owners get pussy, Ford owners get buttfricked by their Uncle Rick, in a cabin, in Gatlinburg... a lot. You wanna haul a heavy load? Get you a got damn Chevy Silveraydoe, You wanna swallow a heavy load? Get you a Ford.

Coach, did you play football?

You oughta get in on that concussion lawsuit. They'd settle with you, right off the bat.
The damage is obvious.

Ford trucks > * trucks.

Then get an SUV. Seems redundant to have two trucks, especially if one of them is just driving 90 miles a day to and from work. Why waste the money on gas? What about if you need a SUV instead of a truck. Would be nice to have one available.


Was thinking the exact same thing. What about a used 4 runner?

all terrain tires


are they the BFG's? I had those on my truck in 33.12.50's before I went to the maxxis mudders that I have on it now. they last FOREVER, 6 years and the tread was still running strong, they eventually dry rotted on the interior wall of the tires.

Damn, I don't even want to know what a 22" all terrain tire costs.

Enjoy the truck.

Good choice. No reason to have two 4x4's. I love the looks of the new Chevys.

If you wanted a commuting truck, should have gotten a Tundra. Will run for years with no issues.
