    You do like to generate the posts!

    Well, OK. Of course, the F-150 rules! No reasoning or rationalizing. Just my not at all humble opinion....

    (At least, I'm very pleased with my Toreador Red, Gold-trimmed, running boarded, front spoilered, driving lighted, bed lined, window tinted, aluminum wheeled 1999 XLT Supercab.)

    Think this is covered by other topics. All have there good and bad points...
  • werkingwerking Member Posts: 431
    1. Toreador (whatever that is) is a stupid name for a color.

    2. Swo copped out with that post.

    3. Tundra belongs in the "S-10 vs Ranger vs Dakota vs Frontier vs whatever Mazda's got going: Now we have a topic to Voice our OPINIONS on each model" topic.

    4. Chevy Silverado's the best thing going...

    LOL - just my opinion

    Silverado 3/4 tons and 6.0 liters rule the universe.
  • timothyadavistimothyadavis Member Posts: 322
    OK then, would you please ask the ruler of the universe to lower gas prices, please?
  • wight1wight1 Member Posts: 218
    Our Silverados rule the transportation industry in the entire universe, but unfortunately, we have no ability to influence the ruler's decision on gas prices. The more we use, the higher it goes. Actually, it has come down about $0.10 a gallon here in Houston from a few weeks ago.

    I've always owned Ford and have good luck but if there's one truck that can steal my heart this could be it.check out www.gmc.com and click on sierra and then check out the c3.I had a 99 lightning and would love another but to impracticle this may solve my problems.
  • z71billz71bill Member Posts: 1,986
    Silverado is the best full size 1/2 ton (F-150 would be 2nd, Dodge Ram 3rd)
    Tundra is the best mid-size (Dakota is second)
    F-250 power stroke Super-duty is the best 3/4 ton (until the Chevy HD comes out) Ram Cummings 2500 is 2nd, Chevy 3rd - the 6.5 L is junk
    Tacoma and Ranger tie for best compact truck, S-10 brings up the rear.

    God I should be an auto magazine editor!!!
  • RoclesRocles Member Posts: 982
    F-250 is the best until the chevy comes out?? Oh...that's objective...nothing like actually testing the new product first, eh?
  • quadrunner500quadrunner500 Member Posts: 2,721
    Feelin' a lot of love in here...honestly, stay away from C3 with AWD system will be nothing but trouble. I'd go back to the Lightning first. Or a regular Chevy 4x4. C3 will need the extra ponies robbed by the AWD system, aka Bravada.

    I heard the Tundra sucks and their going to blow up the plant and put all the workers in jail for making such an awful truck then tricking people into buying it for way too much instead of letting them buy a real truck with proven manhood like the chevy 9500 with 16.0 litre v-20 diesel/turbo that every Tundra owner secretly admires and wishes he could have except he's not up to the burly, mountain moving, thunderpacked, gas station armegeddon causing, incomprehensible universe destroying magnitude of it!
  • obyoneobyone Member Posts: 7,841
    you have mistaken chevy for ford again...chevy doesn't make the excursion you described...ford doess... ;)
  • rwellbaum2rwellbaum2 Member Posts: 1,006
    Naw...the Excursion is only good for the "gas station armmagedon causing" part. ;)
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    ...NOW we are getting someplace!...hmmm..how could we do this?......

    The excursion is another Joke....it's production has been cut back cuz nobody buys them..cuz they don't fit in garages or parking spots..

    The bid bad "Suburban Killer" as it was called at first seems to be a joke....and the Real Suburban?...well...it sells in record numbers and sells every one they can make..

    Glad to see my post brought out the anarchist/antiTundrachist in you. Say....your not related to that OKC bomber?
  • barlitzbarlitz Member Posts: 752
    Thought it would link you over,if you have the time check it out the item # is at the end of the link search ebaymotors.
  • z71billz71bill Member Posts: 1,986
    Now that Toyota dealers are starting to offer $5,000 discounts on Tundras - I would rate it as the best overall mid-size truck. It will be just a little bit less than a Dakota (the only other competition in the mid-size class) and even though it does not offer as many option choices as the Dakota - it would have a small advantage in reliability.

    Anyone else think Tundra is the best mid-size truck??
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    No

    - Tim
  • obyoneobyone Member Posts: 7,841
    a bit negative today? LOL

    Dean
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    ..NO!..DOHH!

    Best Midsize is the originator of Mid size - The Dakota.

    Although you won't see me in a mid size any time soon....

    - Tim
  • ryanbabryanbab Member Posts: 7,240
    Dont blow the tundra plant up. Not a good idea Gotta keep some people in indiana employed after the corn season for a little while longer even though its all foreign parts (ok well 90%). Give it a little more time and it will be just another empty building.

    Ryan
  • cdeancdean Member Posts: 1,110
    Tim,
    I think Ford made a little bit of marketing miscue with the Excursion. They wanted a Suburban killer--why didn't GM answer to 'bigger is better'? Because 95% of the Suburbans sold were 1/2 tons--not the 3/4 ton 4x4s.

    Suburban sales are hurt only by GMs manufacturing lags...I can't figure out how GM has more volume in the U.S., and can't avoid these delays....
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    to come out with a longer burb...not any wider....just longer...like 11 inches longer...to make it 4 inches or so longer than the excursion...but they decided to leave it alone....good choice.

    - Tim
  • timothyadavistimothyadavis Member Posts: 322
    The Excursion is 226.7 inches long.

    My F-150 Supercab SB is 220.8 inches long and that might possibly fit in my garage, but not comfortably.

    Interestingly, the Chevy Silverado Extended Cab SB is 227.6 inches long.

    Hmmmmm....

    Methinks, he who has a longer vehicle should not be disparaging garage-parking limits....
  • quadrunner500quadrunner500 Member Posts: 2,721
    Where Ford made the super duty trucks very attractive, on the excursion it just looks the way the front clip of a motorhome ought to be.

    BTW, my problem fitting the Super Duty (or excursion) into my garage is not the length, it's the height.
  • ryanbabryanbab Member Posts: 7,240
    My silverado will fit in the garage height wise but length wise its a bumper to long.

    So it sits in the driveway

    Ryan
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    was what I was getting at as well....sorry

    I can park a Crew cab 8 foot box with lots of room to spare....as well as 8 feet high...so i have nothing to worry about....but the average garage built today can not handle most ext.cabs..(length)...much less an excursion...(height)

    Say what yawl want...they have been cut back to poor sales..

    POLE BARN

    they can have em built as big as you want em. Menards sells them too. You can order and have it shipped straight to the site.

    Ryan
  • timothyadavistimothyadavis Member Posts: 322
    OK, I would go for a pole barn. Just one problem: I need a site!

    Tim2
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    ..I don't want a big open room with 30 foot ceilings....I have 2 full floors of useable space..as well as an attic.

    Pole barns are metal sheds..i have a concrete garage...it gets called a pole vbarn or barn by some....

    It's basically why I bought the place....2 months after I moved in.....I realized the house came with it!!

    LOL

    - Tim
  • ryanbabryanbab Member Posts: 7,240
    They have various "pole barns" not all are big open sheds.

    So your barn is bigger than your house?

    Tim you have any big plans for labor day? Did you go to that theme park in Ohio yet???

    Ryan
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157

  • nukernuker Member Posts: 1
    i thought this was a chat page for a thread about ford vs. dodge vs. gm vs. toy! you guys are a bunch of whiny little teenagers. talk about your trucks instead of what you want your garage to look like (next, you're gonna tell us what color you want to paint your room, but your mom won't let you). tell us about your trucks and whether you've had any of the other models. how 'bout towing - which one is best? durability? i hear lots about problems with dodge trans, ford comfort, and gm electrical - expound on that...
  • rwellbaum2rwellbaum2 Member Posts: 1,006
    Seems these domestic(ated)truck owners are really into "pole" barns. I'd say "don't ask, don't tell" on this one.
  • mgdvhmanmgdvhman Member Posts: 4,157
    Oh No!
    A topic got off it's subject!

    speaking on the original topic, I think dodge is number 1--chev is 2 and ford is way back . AS far as that [non-permissible content removed] crap --ya right! Ford should come out with their own design instead of copying dodge. And the cummins is alot better than that powerjoke. There is no such thing as a perfect truck and every brand has its problems. I have owned an '86 ramcharger and I now have a '96 ram 1500 xcab longbed with a 360 and I have to say that I have had no problems with either. I beat the hell out of the ramcharger and it kept on going. So my favor lies with MOPAR.
