Ford F150 or GMC/Chevrolet Z71
Re: Ford F150 or GMC/Chevrolet Z71
All GM trucks will have front bearing assembly problems every 50k have had 3 in the last 5 yrs all the same. Bought a 2013 f150 last Saturday so far so good but we have been to wet to really work we'll see how it holds up through irrigation and harvest

No rattles in the ford interior. As for ride, the new Fords "glide" down the road.
Sound familiar?

Going to picl up my new Chevy Z71 after work today. They are really cutting some deals right now on the 13 due to the new body style coming out. You can get in a LT preferred crew cab z71 for around 30 plus tax.

About $9500 off sticker price right now down at Skinner's GMC in Terry. That's who I deal with now and strongly recommend them. Ask for Calvin if anyone goes by there.bulldog ducker wrote:Going to picl up my new Chevy Z71 after work today.

Re: Ford F150 or GMC/Chevrolet Z71
I have an 08 GMC z71 and love it 3rd. It is my GM truck. To me though the Chevy/GMC interiors dont hold up as well as a ford and i am not rough on mine. I dont go anywhere AT tires wont take me. and keep it pretty clean. I am probably going to upgrade to a 3/4ton on the next one and am seriously debating going with a ford. Probably going with ford even if i stay in 1/2 ton.

Re: Ford F150 or GMC/Chevrolet Z71
I have been a Chevy fan since childhood and owned many of them, i have personally worked on every vehicle i have ever had. Recently i have switched to Ford, because the quality of chevrolets has declined in recent years. Almost every part on them is now made in mexico and they are prone to exhibit fairly major problems within 100K. Don't get me wrong a lower main isn't the end of the world but you shouldn't have to replace it at less than 100k on a $40k truck. The last GM truck i owned had 3 water pumps, the heater core, and a radiator put on it before it hit 90K. Also remember Ford is the only major auto company that didn't take the bail out money. I still love older chevys and consider them superior to older fords in many ways. If your talking post 08 i personally wouldn't buy anything GM.country_20boy wrote:At least give the Tundra a chance.
