Let's just say, the F150 had NOT been available . . .

. . . what would have been your next choice? What would you have purchased and why?



I would have gone the Chevy Silverado SS.

My neighbor purchased a '05 model during this past summer and I've since had the opportunity to drive it on several ocassions. Very sweet ride, amples of power for a truck, fairly ergonomic interior layout and everything just flowed damn nice on the body (lines).

But my first truck ever in this country was a 2000 F150 Scab Lariat and after not missing a beat for just short of four years, I swore I would stay loyal to Ford . . . . and I have.

What about you?

That would be an '06 F-250 Supercab with the 6.75' bed, ESOTF 4x4, and the Chrome Package. Oh yes, 6.0L PSD too. In fact, that is going to be my next truck since I always get employee pricing.

Since I trade vehicles every other year, I came from a 3/4 ton Sierra Crew Cab to the F-150. Get reeady for the blasphemy: GM is doing a body change on teh '07, and it would be a safe bet that in '08 I'll be back in a GMC or Chevy.

Before the flames start, please remember that I average 16-1800 miles per week for my job, and in two years will have between 180-200,000 miles on the vehicle. While I realize it's "just getting broken in" at that point, with that much time behind the steering wheel, two years go by and I'm ready to look at a different dashboard.

I narrowed my choice's down to the F-150 and the Ram.
So after 3 years of my Sierra Denali, if I couldn't have got the F-150(not around) I would have picked up the Dodge Ram.

I do miss my Quadrasteer on the Denali though.
Its amazing what 15 degree's of the rear tires moving, will do.

You guys are going to laugh. I would have picked up a Infinity FX35 or 45. I love their looks. I would have had to buy a trailer though to haul crap around with but thats honestly my second choice.

I traded in an 02 Silverado on my F-150. It was a very good truck and I would have bought another one.
