if you had to buy a full size pickup???...

what model and why.

major reason would be hauling and towing. possibly a diesel? maybe a dually for a gooseneck trailer?

 

Tundra with a 5.7. Don't like any of the other full size trucks enough to commit the $$, and even then I honestly don't want a full size.

 

id wait for a Tundra desell...because its a Toyota and I hear a desell is the bestes

 

Tundra DBL Cab

 

DCLB Tacoma

 

If I were to buy a 3/4 ton, it'd be a Chevy Duramax. For a half ton, I'm torn between a Ford F-150 and the Silverado 1500. I'm not a fan of the Tundra or the Dodge and wouldn't buy the Titan for heavy towing.

 

Yep duramax for sure. Or sierra hd

 

If I had to buy a full size strictly for towing. It would be a F350. Only because I used to tow a lot of stuff with my bosses old 1 Tons w/ gooseneck. The single cab w/ a 460 was a beast. it was a horrible ride unloaded though. Fully loaded it got about 8 mpg at 65 MPH. The diesel on the other hand got a lot better fuel mileage. I think it was around 14 loaded. If you are asking, what would you buy in a full size, just to buy one? I couldn't think of a reason to buy one.

 

If you're towing a gooseneck, I'd get a diesel dually. Make & model is up to you. Ford, GM, & Dodge are the only choices unfortunately.


I wish Toyota would build something in the heavy duty diesel truck segment for the U.S/North America market.

 

I have been torn between a Tundra 5.7 Crewmax and the Ram 2500 cummins and mating an Allison transmission to the motor. If I foresee a lot of towing in my future, I will likely end up with a cummins but at the same time I love the comfort of the crewmax and its power.

 

DCLB Tacoma...........I see what you did there.


I just can't seem to convince myself to get away from the Toyota line. So I guess it's the Tundra DC for me.

 

I really like the new Tundra. but it may not work.

I actually like the Dodge for a super/heavy duty truck.

 

I've always been a fan of Dodge/Ram
I really would like to have a 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi buuuut I love manuals and they only make em in automatic :/
I suppose I'd go with a leveled 2500 Cummins with the 6 speed and 35's

 

F-150 EcoBoost

 

nope

 

raptor

 

several have suggested it...

real cool truck, but not the need.

where you at in Niceville? We used to live In Bluewater Bay.

 

2014 Ram Powerwagon, 6.4l Hemi, loaded.

 

I would say Tundra, however I went the to LA autoshow the other day and I checked out the new ram 1500 with a v6 turbo diesel. All I can say is.. impressive. Enough to sway me away from Toyota? I don't know but it doesn't really matter.
On a side note, I asked one of the Toyota guys there about the possibility of a turbo diesel in a tacoma (I know, its like beating a horse horse.. D4D overseas...) However I was surprised when he told me that Toyota is talking to Cummins?? I don't know if thats total bull****? What do you guys think?

 

the new Chebby/Jimmy's are nice.
