Chevy Silverado or Dodge Ram for 2000
I am thinking of a new 1/2 ton extended cab 4x4
loaded with all of the goodies. I currently have a
Dodge dakota that has been fantastic. Right now I
am leaning toward the Silverado, but with such a
positive experience on the Dodge I am not sure. I
can't get any info on the features or price of
either truck for 2000. Dealer will take my order,
but I can't get the specifics on vehicles. Any
help?

1/2 ton Flares option

4th door in December
More HP
Nobody has info...right here is your best bet.
Order now!...you can always change the order before you get a build date..which is about 6 weeks or so. At least you will have your place "In Line" then.
Chevrolet is the Only way to go for me. Their truck is farr superior in many ways right now....except that 4th door..Doohhh!!!
But I don't care about that.
Can't give any info on the dodge...sorry
Good Luck

Does "in their system" mean that it is available elsewhere to the public? If not, any idea when?
Thank you.

My dealer in Romeo,Michigan has specs AND prices for 2000's...he printed me out a sheet as well.
I would think all dealers would have it as well?
Check out carwizard.com/edmunds.com/kbb.com
Compare 99 to 00 prices....some sites just have the 99's carried over for now....if they are different(higher)..then those are the 2000 prices.
When i priced out my truck last spring..carwizard.com had EXACT MSRP prices as well as Invoice costs
Good Luck
Tim
You're right about 4 Wheel anti's being the only thing Chevy has over Dodge...Ohh..wait a minute..Rear seat head restaints,Biggest cab,Most comfortable rear seat,Most Powerfull V-8 in it's class..(even more HP than all the V-10's!!),Most reliable,highest percent still on the road,Best Styling..(unless you like a Truck that looks like a Bad cartoon!),etc...
But other than that...I guess Dodge is on Top!
..of who??...I don't know?
You enjoy your Sloppy 4 door weak cabbed Truck
....oh yeah...Dodge had a HUGE amount of trucks on the road before the re-style too!..(when was the last one you saw before the re-style?)
The contest will always be Chevrolet Vs. Ford....Period!
Run along now..
Tim
ya may not like the way I do it....but that's the way it's gotta be..
Sorry!
..Nothing wrong with Rock and Roll....It's great to hear a "boom Boom" stereo blasting Hendrix,Creedence,Aerosmith.....instead of that crap they play now!
Thanks for the Encouragement Dave40!
When I get back...I'll take possession of my New Truck and be gone from here!
..Everybody cheer now!
Enjoy
Tim
Creedence and Aerosmith? Ouch! Only Led Zep over here!!
Now the buisness: I've owned more trucks (34 or 35) during the past 10 years than you my man. Being a roofing contractor tends to eat up trucks. It also probably doesn't help that the guys that drive 'em don't really give a damn.
Chevy has cost the most to run. Period. We work these suckers not admiring their "pretty" look. Work doesn't include an occassional 400lb load and mostly commutes to our place of occupation. Clowns dropping tar everywhere and backing into light posts at the 7-11. Crew,regular and extended cabs have been here with the occasional Mack Dump.
I favored Chevys for years because of my dad and friends and also because of looks. Yet, Ford has changed my faith in GM and I now stand convinced of their quality. Not one truck---many trucks have made this enlightenment. We only have two chevys left with the rest of fleet (18) consisting of Fords and Dodges. Bottom line counts here---not HP---not "torque"----not weenie differences between cab sizes and "comfortablility" of some clown seat!
Take this from a man who works and owns a fleet. Yeah, I've been told that opinions flow from me as well---yet they tend to reflect more of reality than fiction.
.."wheenie" differences??..where did that come from?
..So what you are saying is that Fords are good for the person who just don't give a damn??..(like your drivers??)
Led Zep is way cool too...BBC sessions Rocks
Tim
Only one that will compare?

...Based On Reality....NOT fiction.
Enjoy those Fords.

quadrunner - profits should be way up for GM from a year ago - they were on strike then.
rickinks: If you really enjoy your music I find it better to buy the entry level sound system, pull it out and replace it with what you really want and not what a carmaker thinks sound should be. It is usually less expensive.
rocles: I appreciate your candor regarding long term reliability as opposed to talking horsepower and inches. How well does it hold up and how well does it fit your needs.
specifically addresses inappropriate or uncivil language! For reasons unknown the language in this conference has begun to deteriorate badly. This stops NOW! "Redactive" profanity (letters and editing symbols (!@#$%&* etc.)) is not acceptable. If it wouldn't fly on broadcast TV, it won't fly here!
I CAN and WILL freeze and delete postings/topics within the conference, if that is necessary!

you do realize that the local service manager is the one that screwed you. It sucks that it happened, and it shouldn't have, but you just got a bad tranny from Chevy, which happens. GM has the most reliable transmissions over the pst 12 years. i've heard of all makers doing warranty work slightly outside the warrant period. you're letting one guy make you bitter? by not considering GM, you're not affecting that service manager one bit. he could obviously care less about customer service or opinions. you may be hurting yourself because they may have something you would like, but you never took the time or attitude to look...
I do understand, when you get steaming mad how you want to point fingers at someone big.
So we end our brawl....I'm still Buying a Chevy
Good luck to all

As Shania Twain says, "That don't impress me much."
Where is Marty Robbins when you need him?
I guess you weren't at the Kiss Concert either?
Can't wait for Metallica and Ted New years!
All depends on individual taste I guess?
Tim
What dodge Musclecars you ever see nowadays?
Chevrolet and Fords are all you see....when you see one..(getting harder each year)
The wedge or the Hemi..oh boy...that's a lot of cars right there!....we can bring out all kind of Ford and GM low number produced engines...I'm talking mass production across the board....it's a super rarity whenever a Hemi comes around.
Dodge had some killer engines..no doubt...but overall when you take the entire spectrum....kinda lame.
Put my foot in it?..I see there is no way we are ever going to see eye to eye...so be it.
This typing BS is not my forum for a good argument. Let's go back to informing each other about trucks.
..I need a beer anyway!
Enjoy man
Tim
Its good that you are at this forum. I wouldn't be nearly posting as much if there was a bunch of guys like me here!
I'll disagree with your unwavering love affair with the SECOND brand of trucks because it'll raise the wrath of Tim.
Back to trucks since I have to agree with Tim that Dodge doesn't have a leg to stand on when comparing history with the Big 2. The only thing wrong with Tim is that in the Big 2 is:
1:Ford
2:GM
LOL!!!!
Oh my god......It's a miracle!
..Not sure what your trying to say....but yeah..the big 2 IS GM and Ford.
..."Wrath of Tim"......You guys kill me..
..I kinda like that though.....Wrath of Tim..Hmmmmm
At least we agree on the big two...gotta work on you some more for that order though...
A few more months..and you will all be trained!
BOW to the Wrath of Timmy!!
..It's sticking Boss....at least for a little while?....

P.S. I am just trying to keep the arguments lively. No offense intended to anyone.
We all have to meet at some Bar someday and rip the place a new one!
Tim
Todd
P.S. Tim,
That Dodge comment was kinda harsh!
If the Tundra works for you..Glad to hear it..(seriously)
See if an American Car will work for you next time though?

I've drank alot of beer in my time--yet I'm not burned out on it! You can never have too much of a good thing--like beer and Ford trucks. Driving a Silverado is like popping down a wine cooler after 7 Millers---not a good feeling. Of course getting a Toy is like ruining a good buzz when the mother-in-law stops by.
Tim,
I don't know if Todd is ready for Chevy yet....We all have to see if they can produce a full year of trucks before another strike looms. Chevy getting back on top is like waiting for the Lions to win the superbowl,eh?
Roc
I'm not sure I understand your comment about getting back on top though....when did they ever LEAVE the top??..hehehehehe
If i had to stray....I guess it would be Ford over Dodge....How about you?...(honestly)
- Wrath of Tim
Honestly? I would heavily consider the Sierra over Dodge any day of the week. Reason being with the grille over Chevy. I keep thinking of all those guys who gushed at my firm when the re-design hit the press.
Hey--go to #204 and consider bashing trucks there! We can go head-to-head without scouring all over for your prissy bow-tie.
Ford:America's truck.
See ya!
