Another Truck Thread.........Silverado/F-150

[NCVride]

Time for me to upgrade. I have to do it on a budget. I am looking at '10-'11 Silverados and '10-'11 F-150's.

What say The Crew? My last truck which I sold today was an '06 F-150 with the 5.4L. 225K miles.

I am looking at Silverados with the 5.3 and Ford's 5.0.

Seems the Silverados ride a bit better.

Right now I am stuck...both are white.....both have basically identical mileage and pricing

-2010 Z-71 Silverado 4Dr 4WD with all the bells and whistles except Entertainment and Sunroof.

-2011 F-150 4 Dr 4WD cloth, SYNC.

While I realize the Ford would be a year newer, I also see the value in the bells and whistles and resell on the Z71.

HELP!

F150 cause it has the 5.0...

[DUKENO1]

I vote F-150! Love mine..I have a 2012 with the 5.0...has all the power I need and pulls my boat well ! My Dad would tell you to go with the Chevy, lol.

I would say, Buy a Titan! Oh sorry that was not on the list. Still what I would buy though.

I vote F-150.

I've got a 2013 Rocky Ridge Silverado. Awesome truck. Absolutely no complaints.

I personally like the fit and finish of the Chevy to the Ford. The Z71 package is awesome. Makes a very noticeable difference to the stock suspension on most trucks.

F150

[Bill_AirJunky]

What gears in each truck?

[toddthelineman]

Get the chevy

[oldjeep]

They both suck, get a Hemi

[Slayer]

Ford or Chevy...Hemi is not on the menu......unless of course it's in the rear view mirror!

Go in alphabetical order. C is before F. Done.

[rabiddawg]

Ford hands down. I traded a 12 gmc for my f 150. Absolutely no regret.

[UofM_MXZ]

In those years, the interior of the ford is 100 times nicer than the chevy or gmc.....power wise you could get the ecoboost in a 11 ford, you are stuck with mostly the underpowered 5.3 in the chevy....clear winner is ford.

[Tims]

5.0 MUCH better than 5.3.

[Falko]

Body and chassis, Chevy. Drive train, Ford. Oh, you can't do ala carte......

Hmmm... Go with the white one.

Whatever your gut tells you otherwise you won't be happy. Personally, I think the 5.3 is a good engine as long as it isn't towing. The 5.0 is backed by the 6 spd trans? I'd go that route and I really don't like Fords.

I love my Tundra but if I were buying a new truck it would be an F150.

[Bozboat]

SuperCrew has limo room in the back, chevy well not so much.

[kstateskierMO]

The correct answer is "Toyota Tundra"

[jwl019]

I love my Tundra but if I were buying a new truck it would be an F150.

Don't give up on Tundra's yet, the Gen 2 is nice as well. It is a toss up between Tundra and F150 with ecoboost for me though, I just went with whichever I found the best deal on which happened to be the Tundra.

Seriously how is a Dodge not in that mix? More power, more features, far bettter interior (subject to taste) and you can still get one in those years and still have a powertrain warranty unlike any of the others.

I agree - but given the choice between the chev and ford - Ford. The warranty isn't really a big deal on the Ram, I've got a lifetime powertrain on my 104,000 mile 2009 and haven't used it yet.

2010 Silverado 5.3 315HP/5200 RPM 335TQ/4000 RPM

2011 F150 5.0 360HP/5500 RPM 380TQ/4250 RPM

2009-2010 Ram 5.7 390HP/5600 RPM 407TQ/4000 RPM
