    Got a new Truck

    Anyone here drive a Ford F 150 Limited? I just traded my Silverado in for a brand new one. I must say, this truck is top of the line. Any other truck guru's out their with an opinion on the Limited?

    In my experience fords look better but chevy are more comfortable inside and have a better turning radius and drive more smooth on Highway. I've had both.

    I jus think Chevy is a boring truck as well as a gas hog. F 150 is the way to go. Especially interior wise.

    Nice trucks but I would have avoided the eco boost myself. They don't have the pulling ability they claim. I think it's a gimmick.

    Ive got an '07 F150. 62K miles Just did the brakes pads front and back. That is the only thing I have had to do but oil changes, drives like new.

    Had an '99 that I put 300K miles on it, never had a problem with that one either.

    Had a 1500 Silverado and the rear end went out with 100K miles on it. I like Fords.
    Wolud like a 3500 Dodge Cummings Diesel Dually, tho.

    What!! You have any idea!! pretty much same vehicles with different badges. Yes some vehicles like gmc Denali have 6.2l awd where Chevy has 5.3l. Gmc is slightly nicer looking that's pretty much it. I worked (still am) for Chevy gmc for 15+ years and that was a stupid statement. Half the vehicle you take emblems off you can't tell difference. Just like Toyota-Lexus and Honda-Acura dodge-Chrysler ect...

    Calm down Derek it was just a joke, I'm a mechanic I know there is very little difference I was just hacking on the chevy guys.
    And what are these little engine you speak of? 6.2 5.3? Do they making anything but a duramax for pickups?

    P.S. GMC is still better
