Which new pickup?

[LODI QUACKER]

If you were going to buy a new .5 ton truck which one would it be and why?

[stang67]

Tundra, because it's a Toyota.

[grnheadhuntr]

'09 F-150. 5.4L partnered with a 6 speed transmission. The option to get an intergrated trailer brake. 3k + payload and 11,500 lbs of towing, plus all the new gadgets (i.e. navigation, SYNC, backup camera, etc.) that you can get.

Reasons not to buy Toyota:
1. Just over 10,000 lbs of towing.
2. Flimsy frame
3. JAPANESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Chevy man.... But now I would buy a Ford out of spite, since it is the only American company that has not taken any bailout money.. But would really look at the Nissan Titan as well, since they are made local...

But us Dave Ramsey folks don't buy new.. Unless it is a Nissan and we get the employee discount..

I have to agree with Cwink on the Nissan's. They are built right here at home and yes we can get you a discount.

+1 on the Tundra or Titan. They are both Bad @ss trucks. I currently have a chevy and both of these trucks put mine to shame. Toyota's never tear up, I've never owned a Nissan so I don't know about them.

My next purchase in a year or two will probably be a crew cab tundra.

I'm gonna have to say a Tundra...gotta represent my dad at Gray-Daniels Toyota

Seriously considering the Titan, but please fill me in on how I can get the emp discount when I am not an Employee?

If somebody can make the right deal I will be in MS this weekend and will leave MS with it!

A Nissan employee can get you the discount. It is a Friends/Family discount.. I have used them twice from two of my friends that work at Nissan. It is 2.87 % below invoice + any rebates they have going on at the time.

Sometimes there is even some incentives for the Nissan Employee to work pass on the discount. Last I heard was they get a new Nissan Lease if their name is drawn out of the hat.. So it can be a win/win for you and the Nissan employee.. There are several Nissan guys on here.

Chevy.........best gas mileage of any full size truck today.

[H20fowlkiller]

I would go with a ford just for the pure fact that all the foreign trucks are after the high hp and high performance which equals to low mpg. Gas prices may be down now but who knows how long they will be down for and I wouldnt want to drive a vehicle that averages 9-12mpg when the price goes up again.

Get off your high horse. I have owned all toyotas and 1 Chevy Z-71. Toyota was sold with 195,000 with nothing but brakes, tires, 1 starter, and one clutch put in it(standard).

2005 Chevrolet with 102,000 on it, smokin when craking up since 60,000, left front tire sounds like its gonnna fall off from a "non-issue" steering shaft that they refuse to replace, and an ac unit that went out at 36,000....and i wasnt near as hard on it as the toyota....i'd hate to see the "rock" that Chevy's are built like....hey but lets buy American so that they can keep producing these piece of chit cars...instead of letting them know they make an inferior product.

+1 on the Tundra...back to toyota after buying my first, and last, american made car.
