Title: Re: Trucks Post by: Seabee on March 13, 2005, 07:57:47 AM Yunt2, I'm gonna have to join Chuck in bustin your balls.
The only way to go is POWER STROKE!! Title: Re: Trucks Post by: cain73 on March 13, 2005, 08:03:04 AM I have only owned 2 trucks.
a Nissan pick up and a Chevy Avalanche. They don't compare so I can only speak for the one that comes close to what you are asking about. The Avalanche is a great truck. It does everything I could want. 4 doors, bed, full size and plenty of power and comfort. Never had a problem with it. Title: Re: Trucks Post by: Thrasher on March 13, 2005, 08:06:50 AM Love my Hemi! :D

Title: Re: Trucks Post by: LakeMaryKid on March 13, 2005, 10:59:25 AM Stroker nothin but the good stuff. Chuck im with you, im even wearin one of my ford hats now :P
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: Chuck_Norris on March 13, 2005, 12:59:42 PM Here is a bash on the Dodge boys and if you have one dont take it personal it is directed at"what were they thinking catagory". Take the Dodge SRT10 it is portrayed in a commercial to be blowing the doors off all of the competition..
Lets look and the Truth about trucks. The SRT10 Nice Ride and Nice price tag. nearly $47,000 When the FORD Lightning came out $29,000 and you had a hoss of a sport truck. add about 2 grand in mods and nothing could touch you on the street. Even the VETTE owners were yelling FOUL!! Title: Re: Trucks Post by: GaryinSeffner on March 13, 2005, 01:30:28 PM This is a pretty general question because in depends on your use of the truck. Personally I drive a Ford but I chose Toyota in this poll. Not because I dont like Ford...I'd drive a stroke if I could afford it...lol....but I owned a Tacoma for a little while and that was the best all around truck I couldve asked for. They are especially good in the mud. That 22r is hard to kill. I doubt I'll have any support......but this is my opinion so who cares right? ;D And Cummins is the better engine.
Oh yeah the Fords look better haha. ;D I'm all over the place with the post but you get the idea!! Title: Re: Trucks Post by: customrubicon on March 13, 2005, 02:16:59 PM Powerstroke all the way !!! [smiley=drive.gif] [smiley=trophy1.gif]
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: bbf on March 13, 2005, 02:24:34 PM i go with ford
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: big-daddy on March 13, 2005, 03:04:08 PM yunt, are you out there?
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: T2 on March 13, 2005, 04:25:54 PM You know what I am going to pick, do I need to say anymore than POWER STROKE, Thats my opinion (sp) and I am sticking to it. [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: o4250 on March 13, 2005, 04:36:11 PM Quote yunt, are you out there? I think hes scared look at the results [smiley=box.gif] Title: Re: Trucks Post by: Redgrizzly660 on March 13, 2005, 04:38:57 PM The Grizz's say ford at the way. (Diesel)
Sorry City boys that dodge wont make River Ranch. LOL Grizz Title: Re: Trucks Post by: yunt2ride on March 13, 2005, 04:53:26 PM Its called powerSMOKE diesel
I chose Chevy gas because I think so many people buy diesels to ride up and down the road or for status quo and never haul anything. I V8 chevy gas will get 19mpg on the highway and pull a lot of the stuff that people buy diesels for. People buy them to pull a small trailer or their jon boat. Have fun paying $2.50 a gallon when you fill up. Its an initial $6,000 more money, service jobs are 2 to 3 times more, and god forbid if something happens to it, you will need to take out another loan just to fix it. HEHE Title: Re: Trucks Post by: blueballs on March 13, 2005, 04:55:48 PM just traded weak gas 5.4- 250 for new power stroke250.When puling a trailer the 5.4 gas couldnt handle it. the transmission always shifted up and down. The new power stroke purrs. T ;Dhe transmission never has to shift to compansate for power.POWERSTROKE ALL THE WAY.
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: 01_DS650 on March 13, 2005, 05:36:36 PM powerstroke for life

THe 22r is a great engine , the only thing I seen go wrond was an occasional head gasket and the timing covers get hacked through by the chain around 150k Title: Re: Trucks Post by: customrubicon on March 13, 2005, 06:53:40 PM Quote Its called powerSMOKE diesel I chose Chevy gas because I think so many people buy diesels to ride up and down the road or for status quo and never haul anything.

HEHE Lets see that v8 pull my dozer that I pull 3 times a week. It is a small dozer but with the trailer it is just under 17,000 lbs. That v8 could not do that for long. You can get twice the mileage out of the diesel than most gas engines. I have a diesel with 690,000+ miles on it. Try and get that from a gas without rebuilding it. Powerstroke all the way. Title: Re: Trucks Post by: warrior123 on March 13, 2005, 07:22:27 PM im a chevy man all the way but when it comes to diesel id only have a ford, now older ill stick to the bowtie but if i were to buy new id buy ford
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: Redgrizzly660 on March 13, 2005, 07:37:50 PM My old chevy gas motor: first.....motor 89,000 miles
second motor 56,000 miles The Grizz likes diesel motors Title: Re: Trucks Post by: americanhighlander on March 13, 2005, 07:43:59 PM 01_DS650 pic I saw :D
:)my dads truck look like that in pic but his red one.Not very long ago he just bought new used truck last month ago it's a 2002 ford f250 power stroke unleaded gas 4x4 leather seats sits about 5people 6 cd changer s,am fm radio, ac heat,and it's a v10 [smiley=Star.gif] it can go through slick mudded dirt roads no problems in 4wd [smiley=drive.gif].he got for 20k at used car truck place in lake city [smiley=deal.gif]. [smiley=Approve.gif]it's very nice truck he hads it will do alot hueling. [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif] [smiley=trophy1.gif] Title: Re: Trucks Post by: yunt2ride on March 14, 2005, 05:35:13 AM Quote Lets see that v8 pull my dozer that I pull 3 times a week.

I guess what I should have said was, so many people buy them and never pull more than what a gas engine will pull, or for status quo. I have seen many, and I mean many gas engines with 300,000 miles one them and never a wrench on them other then maintanence. But how many people do you see that buy and keep a vehicle for over 100,000 before they want something new. Not very many.

There is a difference, between the two. The power stroke has the diesel engine,and the regular F250 has gas engine.From what I am understanding your dad has the v10 which is gas still a ford so thats all that matters. ;) Title: Re: Trucks Post by: Harley_Honey on March 14, 2005, 08:18:05 AM Well as far as keeping a gas truck over 100,000 Chuck Norris's 1994 F-150 has almost 160,000 and he has no intentions of getting rid of it and not much more than tires and battery have been done to it. And as far as my F-250 powerstroke I am getting an average of 17.4 mtg which I think isn't too bad and diesal around here is only about $2.06 to $2.20 depending on where you buy it. So I guess my vote is for my Powerstroke. I love my Truck. ;D
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: Honda328i on March 14, 2005, 08:30:04 AM Had to trade my truck in on a 4-door when we had kids, but Ford makes the real trucks.
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: NPRVinson on March 14, 2005, 08:43:43 AM Ford all the way
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: BEER on March 14, 2005, 08:51:04 AM I never had a ford,I have a 94 GMC now with 140,700 on it still runs great,but I have been thinking about getting a ford when the gmc dies.

You will own that one forever then. It will never die. Title: Re: Trucks Post by: blupits04 on March 14, 2005, 09:30:01 AM We had a 2003 Chevy Silverado cab and a half 2wd Gas. It got good gas mileage but couldn't pull itself out of a wet paper bag! So we traded it for a 2002 Ford F250 4x4 Gas the MPG not too bad gets about the same as our friends diesel but Electronically I would take a VW bug over my ford.Been in the shop more than I've had it and needs to go back again for the Power Door locks. Never by from Thurston's Used Auto Center! Ron Thurston is a nice guy but his vehicles suck! I have had my F250 for 8 months and been in the shop 7 times
Title: Re: Trucks Post by: BEER on March 14, 2005, 09:37:04 AM Not that I dont like my truck,I love it,I've had it 10 years now,just put new starter on saturday.It has never let me down.Just glad starter went out in my driveway. I thought I would try somthing different,but maybe not.My in-laws all have fords.

[smiley=drive.gif] [smiley=trophy1.gif] lemme see if I know my tracks...that's Atlanta isn't it? I gotta go Dodge. I have one, I love it. It's the best looking truck out there with the most room in the inside. Having said that, I'll also make sure to point out that I paid the extra for the extended warranty. ;D Title: Re: Trucks Post by: customrubicon on March 14, 2005, 06:47:54 PM I do not know what track that is, I got the pic off of yahoo images.

Title: Re: Trucks Post by: 05greengriz on March 16, 2005, 04:33:05 AM Come on guys, the only true, real diesel is a Cummins. Now if you had a Cummins inside of a F-250,350 then we would all have a great truck. IMO
