I'm looking into purchasing a truck, possibly new out the lot. Any members owned both makes before, pros & cons etc. etc.?
I was looking at Silverados and F150's at both Serramonte Ford/Stewart Chevrolet.
Btw my work gives me a Ford discount but not for Chevy.

How is this even a question?
The rate Chevy are getting recalled I'd say away from that shit storm of a company.
On top of that you get a discount on Fords. Seems like a no brainer to me.

We all love fords, but I recently bought a Toyota Tundra, and I love it! They are good vehicles, reliable and keep their value.

i had a 2012 F150 for 2 years and loved it. especially for a DD. it was the V6 ecoboost and managed well over 20MPG cruizing on the freeway. pulling a 26' enclosed trailer with a dirtbike and 88 GT. climbed the altamont around 2500RPM without issue.

I'm considering the new GMC Canyon. I'm not certain on the new 2.8L 4 cylinder diesel though. It's got a ton of torque (roughly 350) but only around 180 horsepower. I might just stick with the 305 hp V6. It all depends on what kind of mileage they get since I put so many miles on my vehicles. If the V6 gets mid to high 20's (which is likely), I'll go that route. Towing capacity is 7000 pounds. Not bad for a mid size truck.

I think they start off at around $29K (not sure on options though).

F150, best truck on the road no contest.
15-16 pounds of boost, 305's in the back, all black leather with 4 bucket seats inside, factory heavy duty 4r100 trans and 35 spline 9.75" rear axle...I am probably a little bias though.

If I had to pick between a brand new fairly basic F150 and a basic Silverado 1500... I'd probably go with the Chevy. To me, it's a better looking truck. Crew cab 4x4 with the 5.3 V8.
If I could afford the extra $10k I'd go for the 2500HD with the Duramax diesel.
Besides those two, I would consider a new Ram 1500. They are nice trucks as well.

Ford or Toyota for me. The new Tundra's are pretty solid, but are supposedly getting a Diesel motor come 2015.
I've always been a fan of the 95-97 Ford diesels. I'd love a new ford diesel, But I cant justify $40,000+ for a work horse.
Just my .02
