Yeh GMs claim to better MPG is a joke. Ford has just as good or better. FranklyIve always said Ford has a better build quality truck. Did an still do. I could drive a Ford an Chevy 100,000 miles an that Chevy would be rattling an squeaky whereas the Ford would be quiet. In the overall scheme off things Ford still has the best truck out there by far.

i agree with the guy. the ford still seems to out-tow, out cargo anything else for a 1/2 ton anyway, but has the lowest HP rating of them all. i take the whole truck into consideration when i buy as well. i won't own the most powerful truck (on paper) out there, but i will own the most capable.

I know the hp issue has been debated a zillion times, but i reckon Ford (or GM, Dodge or Jap) fans do not wanna be upstaged. However does one really need (more than) 300hp and 360ft/lbs odd to haul 1and a halftons or pull 5? I still dont see why a pickup truck needs or can handle nigh on 400hp as a work truck. Personally id like to see a modern reincarnation of the old 300cid straight six.

we're probably going to get laughed out of the club, but i'm with you on this one. i had the 300 in a '96 plain jane truck. i miss that truck, 100% heart.
