Yikes...and we all thought the 10 bolt sucked. Is there an inherent problem with the rears on those, or is this just a case of something else destroying it and the dealer just "fixing what's broke" without trying to solve the problem?

chevy used to be the best in every category EXCEPT diesel, BUT the new LBZ duramax will blow away any powerstroke or cummins pickup.

My Dad has an 05 ex cab F150 FX4 with the 5.4, and man is that thing a PIG!! It has a K&N FIPK and Gibson cat-back, it's a really nice truck, leveled out the front and has AR wheels and 33" BFG all terrains on it, but it has absolutely no *****. His truck before that was an 04 2WD supercrew with the 5.4 and it was a dog too. The one before that was an 02 ex cab F150 with a 4.6, and at the time I had a 99 4.2/ 5 speed reg cab F150 and I blew him away playing around one day. Don't get me wrong, I love the looks of the F150, but it seems like no matter what set-up you get, out of the box they have no *****.

I would go with a diesel any day, but gas I would get a Chevy/GMC.

Im really glad I traded my Chevy 2500 with the 6.0 for my dodge diesel. it gets great fuel mileage, 610lb/ft of torque, and a 6-spd. I love it.

1. Ford- great interior and decent looks, but it sucks too much gas for not much power. Our previous Fords had recall rapsheets a mile long as well, though no major mechanical failures.

2. Dodge- Like the Hemi, hate the looks (06+), never owned a Chrysler product so no clue on durability.

3. Tundra- Not enough truck, bland styling. Not a fan, though I heard its pretty reliable

4. Titan- Great power, don't like the looks. Can't get a rcsb

5. Ridgeline-

6. Silverado- Good combination of power, mileage, and durability. Like the looks except the front end, waiting to see what the 07's look like. Maybe there will finally be a damn rcsb SS

Yup, I too dont like the front ends on the new chevy's, they look weak. Check out the Sierra, no BIG changes since 99, STILL SEXY!
