Definitly consider Ford, if you go to Washington, and go to Pioneer Ford, they are selling all vehicles at a Penny over Invoice. So it would work out to about the same. Right now Ford is really trying to move the 08's before the 09's come out. I think that right now you can get an 08 XLT for 0% for 72 months and 3500 cash back.

There's nothing wrong with a Dodge we have 2 dodge's and 2 ford's. And i know people on here will hate me but i would buy a Dodge 1/2 ton before i would a Ford 1/2 ton. Their is no comparison in my opinon. Just make sure you get one with a hemi not that 4.6liter junk.

I bet you could save at least $25,000 by fixing your old truck 
Those new trucks look good until you get the payment book.
I can not afford to make a $400 to $500 payment on something that at best is going to get 20mpg with gas at $ 4 per gallon. I will keep fixing my old 1996 truck and drive the gas sipper (1990 Honda Accord 32mpg) back and forth to work and use the truck when I need a truck. I will buy a new truck when they put a small 4 cylinder diesel in a full size 4x4 that gets 30 to 40 mpg

if you can't afford a real truck (or have rocks in your head) buy a dog.........there's a reason companies aren't buying them anymore...when you consider maintainance they (dogs)cost more over the years

this deal is all accross bc (or even canada) have a look at dodge.ca.... i can affard to make the payments and already pay for gas for my 351 in my ford so the 5.7L dodge's gas mileage willl prolly seem amazing to me.

you are a victim of believing in ads.
the dodge will not get 'amazing' fuel mileage.
they are selling the trucks cheap for a reason.
come back to earth and think about this for a few days before you do anything foolish.
