best 1/2 ton out there

i love my taco, way more than a ranger, but i'd definitely buy a f150 before a tundra. if i could find a non-fugly version. i just like nearly everything about them better.

 

I actaully manage a fleet of 63 of those, everything but the Tundra.

60% of the fleet is chev/gmc 1500 and 2500s. They have been real tough for the most part but the front clip won't be around long if you guys off road at all. Overall I'm real happy with these.

We have a variety of F150s, 250s, and a deisel or two and those have been bullet proof on the vehicle end... not so much from our drivers.

We have 1 Dodge 1500 that I use as my work truck, it's been great but the window controls etc seem to not be built to last. The drivetrain has been solid though, the interior is not doing so well.

I'd just see who will give you the best deal/package for buying multiple vehicles. They are all pretty close. We bought 5 new Chev 2500s this year; just set up a meeting at your place with Ford, Chevy, and Dodge, all at the same time and let them hash it out for your business... that's how Chev got our business.

In addition, all of our work requires off road driving and these trucks get beat on daily. Just keep up on the maint perfectly nad any of those will last a long time.

The Fords and Dodge have more clearance.

I wanted some Tundras and Tacomas but we all agree they are too nice of trucks for what we use them for... we would never send them into the field.

 

We also got to field test a couple of 2010 F150s and RAM1500s. Almost everyone liked the Ford much more for driving; Everyone preferred the styling of the Dodge tho.

 

If you go with a Dodge, get an extended warrantee.
