Was up at the Detroit auto show on Saturday and since I am in the market for a truck, I decided to check out the lineups at the show. I'm looking at a half ton since the midsize trucks turned out to be a little too small for my taste.
Ford's lineup was trash. All this ecoboost shilling means you have to pay a pretty penny for a veeate so fuck Ford.
The Rams were surprisingly nice especially in the Laramie trim but I worry about buying an FCA product.
GMC is just too expensive.
The Silverado was rather nice and seemed pretty well equipped for the price.
The Tundra was a little pricey but otherwise good.
Anyone have any thoughts on new-ish half tons?

chevy driveline and electronics are the least gimpy out of all domestic trucks, FCA's transmissions and electronics like to shit themselves, and ford put a turbo v6 in a fucking truck tundras are alright but I can't speak to their quality

At least from what I saw at the show, the Tundra was the most car-y of them all. I'd never been in one and the interior felt like a giant Camry.
That's not necessarily a bad thing but it sure didn't feel like a truck.

William White
The 3.5 Ecobutt is the top engine in the lineup.
The v8 is more expensive than the two shittier v6s
Carson Reyes
Tundra or GTFO

Is a Tundra really worth the Toyota tax over a Silverado?
Eli Perez
EcoBoost and the Coyote are about equal. Ecoboosts for towing, 5.0 for DD
Evan Sanchez
Rams use the ZF8 speed that most of the german cars use. Fairly reliable from what i’ve seen so far. I’ve only seen the uconnect system glitch on startup and show a different brand logo, like chrysler instead of ram, not much else electronics wise goes wrong
>shitty unreliable grenade for towing >shitty 5.slow for dd Good ol’ ferd
