There is a reason why the Ford F-150 has been the best selling pickup for 32 years in a row. I say that being a Chevy guy myself. I would personally lean toward the Ford between the two, but I would still drive then both before you make your decision. That is if you haven't driven them already.

BB that is a hard choice I love them both. I think that even though I am a Ford guy most of the time, I would get the Dodge. I really enjoyed the Dodge Truck I had. The are both very nice trucks though.

I work for the Gov. and we bid out all of our Vehicles....Over the last 15 yrs I have driven them all....I have to tell ya,,,,The F150 by far has been the most reliable so far. We get rid of them at about 100K miles. That happens about every 2 yrs..Seems like the Mechanics are busy on everything but the Fords...:laugh: Just yesterday at work I had to Pull out KW Loaded 5 Yard Truck with my GAS F250 Work Truck....Wish I would have gotten a Picture of that:skeptic:

But I own a F250 PSD and Im on my 5th Turbo....:confused:

Its a Crap Shoot!!!!!!!!

I really like the Chevys...
I used to be in that group. The last 4 Chevys I've owned have been Nickel and Dimers.

I've drivren both Ford and Dodge. I like both. The Dodge has better deals and Dealerships.

We have always had good luck with our Chevys and fords. I really like the body style of the Siverado... Why don't you get the F150 Raptor!?!?!?!
Ford dealer don't wheel and deal around here. Like the new Ford Raptor. The Dodge dealer will give me two grand more for the Yukon than anyone else.Plus four grand more for trading in a clunker.

Does your Rubicon fit back there?
Have not even tried to yet. Best guess is the tailgate will not close with it in the bed. The inside of the bed measures 6 ft 3inches. I have a 6.5 ft by 14 ft trailer that I use. When I side load the Ruby it has almost no extra space between the sides on my trailer. Edited by BuckBilly

      Where you like to ride and what riding does for you?

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      Need help! 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350
      By P_syko
      I’m brand new to 4 wheelers and just bought a 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350. It has good compression and fuel, but no spark. I’ve looked high and low trying to find how to test all the components of the ignition system, but can’t find anything. This has a new CDI box on it, but I suspect it might be the stator. How do I test the stator on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      2008 kazuma 800 4x4. i need wiring help. no spark
      By carkivey3
      i just picked this up. was told ran fine but overheating issues led to replacing head gasket and head. has not ran since. he is not a mechanic but helped someone else who he could not get back to finish job, got aggravated and put up for sale. i was thinking timing issues. i have 110-120psi on all 3 cylinders so i think valves are correct. dont know about distributor yet. however i have no spark. i have no power going to ignition coil. tried to follow white wire but gets lost in wire harness. does anyone have a wiring diagram? can anyone tell me what conditions have to be met before starting. motor turns over so i would think all safeties are met but you never know.

      Help New to a Suzuki 2001 king quad 300
      By mmikesell
      First post here need some help/advice. I bought a 2001 king quad 300, vin number JSAAK43A212111871. I have been trying to do some basic maintenance as it runs but doesn't idle all that well . I want to take out and clean/repair the  carb but when looking for parts it ask for model X Y K1 K2. How do I know which model I have? I have tried some vin decoders but they haven't told me. If anyone could recommend a carb rebuild kit for my quad Id appreciate it. Also any tips on tracking down an owners manual?
