Don't see too many girls driving full size trucks!

She loves it and the quad cab makes it so much easier with the baby seat. The dual climate control is sweet too...

I know what you mean, I could fit my 11-year-old daughter in that console

But, that said... hmmmmmmmm I guess I just have had such good luck with Toyotas, or was it bad luck with Fords?

I'm a Ford fan, so F150.
My next truck will be a F150 or F250, depending on what I do full time and how into track/racing etc I decide to get.

If I were looking for an actual truck, I'd be taking a hard look at the American offerings... They are just giving those fucking things away these days.

Chevy is the best overall followed close by Ford and Nissan. Toyota is dead last lol.

The Titan is nice, the MPG sucks ass. You can get 21 in the Chevy with the 5.3

I have an F150. LOVE it!!!

BS

I hear all these crazy numbers coming from the GM guys but they never seem to pan out.

Every 5.3L GM owner that I know that drives in real world driving gets about 2-3 mpg better than my Hemi.

The titan is the best pick IMHO, it really is much better than the other trucks in its class, and it had the top performance numbers until ford came out with the new f150. fit and finish are friggin incredible for a truck too.

As far as chevy, their quality control has improved alot since the days of teh s10. I had an s10 and I loved it but I had teh same small issues with small stuff breaking over time. But I now own a colorado and it is 10x better than the s10 ever was. The interior is much better than the s10 ever was or could wish to be.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm going to start test driving trucks in about 3 weeks. I'm in the middle of a move right now (Hawaii to Florida). Once that's done I have the OK from the wife to make the choice. Looking to be between the Titan and Silverado/Sierra.
