I'm 6'3 and I've hit my head on the on the ceiling in my 11' already. This was hitting bumps in the road. Mainly where the air bag is.

I drove GMC's for the last 28 years. Purchased the Ford F250 SD with the 6.7. The main reason for switching to Ford, WHO BEAT UP THE NEW GMC's WITH THE UGLY STICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. I am just opposite from you. I think the GMC is the nicest looking of all the HD trucks. Its very sporty especially with the 20" wheels. Now the Chevy's on the other hand have the UGLIEST hoods I have ever seen on a truck.

Buddy if you're in the dog house for asking your wife how tall she is, you should not be in a truck (Ford), you should be in a VW Bug...hope you like the flowers.

I agree, those Chevy's are downright ugly with their weird looking flared bed and overall shape. The OBS was much better looking.
I wouldn't own a new Chevy now that Imam Obama owns them.

the best part of buying yet ANOTHER Ford... is Fords numbers go up, Chevy's numbers dont. and it brings Barack Osama down with it !

i love my 2011 truck more and more each time i get in it. ill always miss my 2006 though.

I just signed up for a monthly plan with my local car wash... $20/mo and I can have them wash it every day if I like. I think I washed my 2007 tundra a total of 5 times in 3.5 years. That's how much I love this new truck

(BTW, Tuxedo Black with the Lariat / King Ranch adobe two-tone is better than all other colors

I'm 6'2", I hit my back on the cab roof a few years after I got my 01. It didn't hurt the truck but I was sore for a few days. I stunned the airbag didn't deploy.

So really by your argument we should all by GM now.

The fact of the matter is buy whatever vechicle best suits your needs.

You will never see all the money ever come back to the tax payer thats a fact! I dont pay twice for trucks we should of never bailed out anyone.Sorry i just had to state a fact!
