The_Kat Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'm in the market for a brand new pick-up since I already have a good gas saver car. I figure to wait and get the new 2007 model when it comes out, so I'm looking at getting this truck by february maybe a little later. I either want a Chevy Silverado Ext Z71 4x4 or one of the new dodge quad cab ( not the huge one, but the middle one, and not the dakota ) with a hemi in it. The dodges are a bit cheaper....so I'm trying to pick between the two. I imagine I will go with whoever gives me the best deal when the time cmes, but I figured i'd get some peoples input and why they would pick the truck they pick. Please no...I LOVE CHEVY, I LOVE FORD, I LOVE DODGE POSTS, just some good ole truck debate.....thanks alot! Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: What should I get? I LOVE CHEVY!!!!!! J/K I am NOT a fan of the newer Fords, I drive a 2000, and if it weren't a work truck, I wouldn't have it. My '95 Chevy has ALOT more power, BUT the Ford does have the small V8. As for Dodge, never been a fan of their stuff either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Re: What should I get? Go with the best, CHEVROLET!!!! I'm not sure if I'd wait for the 07 new Chevy body style to come out or not, I saw some pics of them and I didn't like them as much as the 2006's. I'd get a 2006 Silverado Z71 4x4, Regular cab short box, with a 5.3L V8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaTrophyHunter Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: What should I get? everyone i know that has a Z71 has had trouble with them. i think all the new models are uglier than the 03's and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifleman25 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: What should I get? I have a new 2005 chevy I bought last August. I had always had fords by Gm made me a helluva deal. I have gone through 2 front ends, and now my pickup is in the shop again getting the transmition replaced. Oh, did I mention I have 13,000 miles on it? If you ask me GM is junk. I'm buying a ford as soon as the transmitions is done getting replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderpancake Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: What should I get? Both would be good trucks, one thing to think about is if you plan on selling it or trading it in in a few years, the Chevy's have a lot better resale value.

Nick Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: What should I get? I'll sell you my truck.....I wanna buy a Duramax crew cab. My first choice would be the Chevy, then Dodge and I wouldnt even consider ford and dont get me started on the foreign junk. But I'd definately stay away from ford....everybody I know that has them, which isnt many, has had to replace the engines in them.....and thats even on the newer trucks. An auto mechanic that I talked to said the oil injecters in the motors are junk. They make them good enough to last through the term of the warranty then they usually go bad and burn up your engine. How convienient.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: What should I get? Since the choice is only between Chevy and Dodge and not a Ford...lol Go with the Chevy. Dodge is all right, but if you want it to last I think Chevy would be better. I haven't seen the new styles yet, but they can't differ to much from the o6's. Chevy started a 200,000 mile club for their vehicles, so that leads you to believe they can go the distance and still hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil hunter Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Re: What should I get? I'm gonna say to go with the chevy. Mainly because when I have been looking at trucks lately, I have talked to a couple salesmen who have said to stay away from dodges, because the resail value is so bad.

Dakota Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: What should I get? I'd go w/ Chevy. They're well built and will hold up no matter what. I love my '86 Silverado 'burban! Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: What should I get? First off I am not a auto person. I dont care the make of the vehicle as long as its dependable and gets me from "A" to "B" I'm happy. [ QUOTE ] I wouldnt even consider ford and dont get me started on the foreign junk. [/ QUOTE ] Arent they all foreign?? I have an 03 ford, bought it new off the lot and love it. The main reason I bought it was because I liked the body style. I have had NO NO NO problems with it. And have driven the snot out of it. Get what ya like and can afford. No matter what ya get someone will tell ya its either good or bad. The only person that has to like it is YOU!!!
