Newtruck4552
Ok, I was a very devoted F-150 owner and fan, but I just can't get passed the aluminum body. So, I'm doing research on the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra and the Toyota Tundra.
In my research I'm learning that the Silverado and Sierra are basically the same truck, and I like both. A buddy of mine is a rabid Tundra owner. It's very hard to argue his primary point ... He bought his at 144,000 miles and it's now approaching 300,000 miles with no major issues. However, in riding with him, I'm disappointed in the ride comfort. Following are my issues I need advice with:
1). Chevrolet and Sierra come with a bigger engine (5.8 L), and the Tundra, in my price range, has a 4.6 L.
2). I tow an 18' bass boat-the PRIMARY reason I'm in the market is that my V6 F-150 struggles when towing. I currently have 140,000 miles on my Ford.
3). I know the Tundra holds its value a bit better than Chevrolet and GMC.
4). The Tundra has an inclined back seat, allowing the passengers to sit at more of a comfortable angle than a straight 90 degrees.
5). The Tundra comes with a sliding (up & down) rear window-I really like that.
Well, that's about it. Thank you very much!!
