Hey guys, ive been looking around here for a while, trying to figure out what i want because ill be getting a new truck here in the next month or two. My debate right now is between an 04-06 FX4, or an 07 Silverado, the new body style. Ive been a long time fan of the F150, but its hard not to notice the changes they have made for the better. Granted, im still leaning F150, so dont worry, but i was just wondering if you guys had any input? If you guys have any info or anything it would be helpful, its a hard decision. Thanks in advance!

 

get an f150. i love my fx4. i got pics in my gallery.

 

Chevy sucks!

Ford rules!

That is all.

I know this is a ford site but never dose he test it against a dodge why not? also he pics what to test I would like to see all dodge, ford, chevrolet/gmc and toyota all get together and say the pros and cons of each others trucks.

 

Yes, he does test it against all makes. It's all NEW for 2008!

 

why dont you just go put i an order for an 09 f150. you may have to wait a little longer but you would be one of the first people to have one.

 

Rent each one if you cant decide and take a trip. Probably be the lower trim levels available for rent, but you'll get an idea of power, brakes and ride quality.

 

The 2009 F150 FX4 has an awesome look. Once you've seen it, your mind will be made up...but you might have to wait for it.

 

Depends on what your looking for in your truck...
The F150 is a much more durable and capable truck,"The Man's Truck"
The Chevy is a much more economical truck (mpg) with about 1/2 the durability and capability. "The City Econo-driver Truck"

 

i thinki it is funny how he picks on only certain aspects of each truck. i think the test needs to be run on a side by side comparison of all aspectsof the trucks. i have owned chevy for the last twenty years. and i can tell you that the ls based engines in the chevy will always outperform the ford triton engines for power. nowi do likie my ford and theway that it tows. i do love the interior and the exterior much better. but i think these comparisons are a little picky. and the fact that they come with electric fans from the factory is nice. there tuneability is also way better.

 

I own a 07' Tahoe, which shares the same engine and interior as the new Silverado LTZ. I have gone and test driven the new Silverado and I will say that they have improved the truck but when parked side by side with my F150 doing a feature comparison I still would pick the F150. I like the Silverado, It has the same drive and feel as my 07' Tahoe but doesn't surpass my F150
So therefor my opinion isn't an ignorant opinion, I am speaking from ownership experience in some form.

 

Honestly, having driven both, I think the main difference for me was the feel - the chevy felt more like a car than the ford acted like a truck, if that makes sense. The chevy obviously had a little more power, although the fords interior looked better imho.

It's all about your preference. I def. agree that you should shop around and see if you can take a truck home for the night. I know a few years ago you were still allowed to do that, at least, around here you were (small town).
