Full size pickup

Id like your honest opinion.. I'm also considering a full size truck a 2016 Silverado 1500 WT with a regular cab 4x2 and 2016 double cab tacoma SR5 4x2. The silverado seems like a better value. Truecar says its around 27,000 and I could get 4.3 L engine that puts out more power than the tacoma and have a bigger bed. I dont really haul people around so I don't really need the extra cab space. Anyone ever considered a silverado?

 

My papa has a 1500, got it used and stuff is steadily going wrong with it. Don't know what year it is though

 

The difference in horsepower between the 4.3L in the Chevy and 3.5L in the Toyota is 17 horsepower and the Toyota makes 5 more ft/lb torque.

Edit: Disregard I'm retarded. Those specs are the old 4.3L

 

Oh snap

 

There's guys on here with full size GM products man...get what works for you.

Let's see if we can get one of the traders to chime in...

FUDB.

On another note, is mah stackz too big brah?

 

Drive them both.
You may find the 1/2 ton is a 'better value' up front but the Tacoma may last you longer, or you may just plain prefer the slightly smaller size when it comes to daily driving. I've owned Tacomas and now a Tundra, the full size (well I have a Lifted 5.7L Crew Max) is certainly harder to drive around the city, but man is it comfy on long drives. The highway miles just disappear in it, very comfortable and capable. I bought the Tundra for its' increased hauling/towing capacity, if I didnt need that I would have stuck with the Tacoma

 

I like the sound of a full size truck . Is it weird too just want a truck for the way it sounds and look?

 

I didn't know there was anyone who actually liked the sound of a 4.3L.

 

Be sure to carry at least one fire extinguisher in the Silverado.

 

Doesn't sound to bad... its a step up from a suzuki i currently own

 

You know me too well...



On ur other note...

Stack or a modern self interpretation of a "hot & boozy" pillow biting Saturday night romp at tophers?

 

True, it does like to burn some rubber.

 

fire a common thing on a silverado?

 

Sounds like you should be looking at Tacoma access cab instead of a double cab. Cheaper and comes standard with the "long" bed.

Do what fits your needs the best, but if I was going full size I would get the 5.3 liter.

 

I put the stack in just for you, I may even run the exhaust through it.
Hey now, to be fair I only bite the pillow if she goes in dry.

 

I think you're gonna be disappointed with a 4.3L equipped Silverado. If you want a full size truck skip the 4.3L and get an engine meant for a fullsize.

 

Hahaha, good eye but no. It's a 36" Crumpler 30*, ADS is a competitor.

 

FALSE!

Chevy 4.3L

• 285 hp @ 5300 rpm
• 305 lb-ft of torque @ 3900 rpm

Tacoma 3.5L
278 hp @ 6000 rpm
265 lb.-ft @ 4600 rpm

 

When you put a new Tacoma next to a new Silverado or F150, I'm betting there isn't too much difference in physical size. Some, but not much.

You need to determine what you expect from the vehicle 80% of the time, and buy the one that will meet those needs in your range of 'value'. Which shouldn't be out-the-door-what-are-my-payments cost, but an actual shot at TCO, using a realistic estimate of how long you'll keep/use the vehicle.

In my case, a base 5 lug AC 4 cyl. Tacoma met all my needs. What it didn't have that I wanted is being added a bit at a time, and that's not much. Since I view it as a 20 year ride, the TCO was pretty simple.

But the GM/Ford have much more truck like capacity available. So if you want a heftier truck, at least look at a Tundra.

For a full size truck, my money would be on a 2-3 yr old pampered F150.
