2005 1/2 Ton Pickups - Chevy, Dodge, or Ford ?

I know this isnt a choice, but personally i would go with a GMC Sierra 1500 if you are going to go with GM. I think they look nicer than the Chevy's.
 
kasperj: I thought of that too and would've agreed a couple years ago. However, I like the aggressive look of the Avalanche nose on it better than the smoother lines of the GMC.
 
My friend's dad owns a 1977 Ford F150.

He will not be purchasing an F150 when he buys another. The 1500 chevy is on the list. Along with the Toyota Tacoma.

He doesn't all too like the new fords, especially when they made them a lot smaller.
 
I got a buddy that is a used car dealer, and he has a
2000 Chev Silv 1500 with 135,000 on it and loves it. He says
hands down, a way nicer riding , handling and Fantastic re-sale than
fords or dodge. just my.02
 
Guess I'm getting in this thread a little late, but glad to see you went with the Silverado. We have a '96 Silverado, but I'd sure like to have a new one.
Go for the window tint for sure. Stay away from the drop-in bed liners. Go for the spray-on like Rhino. I manage a fleet that includes about a hundred pickups and I went with the spray-on (Rhino) years ago and it's the first thing I do to them when I get a new one.
 
We love the truck so far :)

Once this weather clears up, I WILL be detailing it.

We got the Rhino Liner already sprayed it. It looks amazing and it's nice and shiny...Yay, no need to dress it :)
 
Sean, Top of the Line has a brush attachment for bed liners and it attaches to the PC if you ever want one for cleaning it.
 
Thanks Luv-N-It.

I don't own a PC thought ;) ...I have a nice deck brush for boats that I'm sure will work out just fine :)
 
I have a Ford F-150 with 140,000 miles on it and it is flawless. The Ford will probably be most expensive of the 3.
My constrcution company owns 3 fords and 4 chevys. The Chevys are real crap. (This is my experience, not looking to offend anyone) The Chevys are 2001 3500 Silverado (Rack Body), 2002 3500 Box truck and 2003 3500 box truck. They are constintly back for warranty work. The 2002 had received a new exhaust, cat, tranasmission befor it got to 10K.
2 of my employees have Dodge Rams and both would not buy another one. They say the only plus for the Dodge is the price and finance rates.
Just my 2 cents.

What Rub_It_Out said. The '05 F-150 has an all-new suspension for a smoother ride. The drivetrain is excellent.

There is a commercial where an F-150 pulls up aside a Chevy 1500. A dog, laying in the bed of the Chevy, examines the F-150. Then he leaps out of the Chevy's bed into the Ford's bed. All the while, the blues song, "Done Done Me Wrong" is playing. :rolling
