F150 vs the Competition
December 11, 2003
I have finally finished the testing and review for the five major players:
Ford F150 4x4 Lariat Super Crew 5.4L
Chevrolet 1500 Z71 with LT pkg 2 Crew Cab 5.3L
Dodge 1500 Ram Laramie 4x4, Off Road, Quad Cab, 5.7L Hemi
Toyota Double Cab Limited, 4x4, Off-Road 4.7L
Nissan Titan Crew Cab LE, Off-Road, Big Tow 5.6L
The Nissan dealer finally got the 4x4, off-road, big tow in so I have been putting it through its paces for the last couple of hours. My many thanks to those of you that have insisted I take a serious look at the Dodge 1500 and 2500. I learned a lot from that process.
I have also attempted to answer the two dozen or so questions I have been asked as well, and have reconsolidated my findings in to one “word” document. It runs 13 pages and is about 200k. That is of course too much to post in the forum. So for those of you that would like to read my findings simply PM me, with your email address and I will send it on its way. You will receive it as a word attachment.
Each truck does have major “wins” and major “fails”. So you have to decide what is important to you in purchasing a truck. The one key element that is good for us is the intense competition that is now in place. The manufactures now have some real incentive to get serious in making a high quality, high value, real trucks. They are not there yet, but at least each manufacture now has their eyes open. They now have to step up to the plate or lose some serious market share.
