I don't like the looks of the new F150,  have never cared for anything Toyota,  the Honda seems more car like than a truck,  I worked for a Dodge Chrysler Plymouth dealer years ago and for many reasons Ram is out.   I nearly bought a Titan before getting my 19 sierra,  but hated the two tone interior.  But as petty as it may sound to some one of the main reasons I stay with GM is the seats.  They are the most comfortable for me but more importantly if you get the upper trim levels with the heated option you have the ability to have heat on your back WITHOUT having the "butt" heat on,  nobody else does that and I hate the butt heat option.   But to answer the question it would either be the Titan or an F250 and then I would have to figure out how to disable the butt heat😆

Brand loyalty is for suckers. GM, Ford, Toyota, and RAM all build good trucks and to be honest I've had them all. I like my Chevy a lot, but also liked the 19 RAM I had before it as well.

You couldn’t pay me to own a Ford.  Their ecoboost are terrible in real world Fuel Economy and they have pushed the 5.0L to its max that it has issues with oil consumption.  Not a Ram fan, best friend

the new Tundra looks cleaner than previous years, only issue is getting replacement parts, most trans shops wont mess with the Aisian trannys these days due to the parts availability,  my money would be going to a pushrod motor powered truck, made in the USA  Chevy/Ram got that market

Seeing as how Ford and Ram are the only other ones making 2500s or bigger I guess it would be one of them.  I still toy with the idea of going to a 450 for that turning radius.  Getting a new diesel also makes me hesitant with all the continued problems and makes me want to keep my LMM even longer.  I guess it depends on what the "big 3" end up doing with their gas motors in the next few years.  I also like having over kill when it comes to capabilities.  Only real thing lacking for me currently is 6x6 just because I'm dumb and like to find non paved roads.

Ford non-turbo.

There's really no other option.

  • RAM - Reliability issues (yes, all trucks have them, but RAM is notoriously bad) .
  • Nissan - Might not be around in a few years, especially the Titan.
  • Toyota - Old ones were reliable but had terrible gas mileage, new ones are still too "new", so maybe in a few years.
  • Honda Ridgeline - Just on this list to ruffle some feathers :D

I had two coworkers with 2021 Tundras. One got 12-14mpg Highway with a 6" lift and 35s. The other would get 6 MPG towing his boat, 6" lift 35s I believe. Both of them traded them in after a year of ownership. The first guy now drives a Kia Stinger GT, base model, and the other drives a 2021 Silverado RST 6.2

So 6 inch lift and big tires with bad fuel mileage? That’s the reason? That doesn’t compute. Toyota hasn’t ever been big on mileage. There’re never Johnny come lately. Reliability is the trade off, that’s undisputed.

Yeah pretty much lol

The Silverado I think has a level and 35s(?) and eeks out above 10 mpg towing the boat.

 

Just was some real world examples.

I like the look of the new Tundras and their new power train. They will get a serious look next time around for me.

      Gas Prices

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....
