Another Award For The 2011 Hd

bogeypro · December 23, 2010

Trailor Life magazine's latest issue has comparison between the 2011 ford, dodge, and chevy. They picked the chevy as the best overall. And get this, the chevy got better gas mileage during their test - so much for ford's claim of best mileage on the HD pickup.

Cool...I look forward to reading the article......maybe the latest issue is sitting in my mailbox? Gotta go check.

Ford claims a lot of things....most all of them are patently untrue.

As you say...at least they circled the problem.

I do have to admit though that the Super Duty is a nice looking truck and I'd love to see GM beef up the HD a bit in the next model, as they've certainly got the mechanics, engine and frame at top notch specs now.

Hmmmm....2500 next time? 1500 6.2L? Who knows....but that'll be a long ways down the road.

Are you saying THIS Super Dooty is good looking:

There is nothing nice looking about the Ford. Except seeing it in my rear view mirror as I leave it in the dust.

I definitely like the GM Heavy Duty's better but I do like the Ford Super Duty's too. Just not as much.

I don't care for the grill,but overall not a bad looking truck. The bumper on the ford looks more like a real truck bumper,than the Chev especially if you take off the bottom valance.

Well...to be fair, it is the same truck from the tail gate up to the front clip that we have seen since 1999.........................

Except that the engines have been changed/worked over a half dozen times, it's made the switch from leafs to coils up front, had improved axles and multiple interior changes. I'd like to know how you figure it's the same truck.

If you don't take my quote out of context you would understand better.

Im thinking a 2500HD 6.0 with a blackbear tune is in order in 3 years as i dont tow much, and a gasser is more economicly friendly at the moment. I so cant wait to get my resign bonus!!!
