Truck poll

Everything you need is with the Ecoboost!

My neighbor only gets 14-15 out of his. For what it is worth, I voted for the Ford.

My tundra on the life clock of the ODO, my average mpg is 13.5 right now with 45k o. Not that good. But I drive mostly city miles. I will say this is the best towing truck I have ever owned. My 6.0 HD Chevy could not hold a candle to the towing power this thing has.

when's the last time you've done a tune up, filter change/clean, fuel filter replacement, etc?

You'd be suprised what little shit like that will do for the fuel economy.

Fords' promo of the Ecoboost has them pulling some un-Godly trailer with it, and outrunning the Chevy V8 by a long way.

How the hell do you get 23 mpg out of a Tundra? Mine gets 19 at best and that was one time. About 17 mpg on average on the highway. This is a double cab.

But on a side note with just a drop in K&N filter, it has run a best of 9.143.

Titans are nice, but get bad gas mileage.

We got 23 mpg all the way to Shrevport doing 70 mph! He did have a Cold Air kit with a Ram Air setup though

Not yet. Just picked mine up yesterday.

The 5.0 is not a proven engine so I don't know what to say about it. The Ford trucks are nice, but interior-wise...they're a bit fragile.

Anyhing Dodge can kiss my ass. I've heard they've gotten better, but I got in one and it looked plasticy as fuck.

Toyota Tundras I've heard have horrible problems that aren't drivetrain related. I've driven a couple and they were powerful as hell. That 5.7 they have is impressive. But....They're a bit more expensive.

I hate saying it because I worked for Ford for so long, and they have a great product, but Chevy/GM have a better powertrain warranty and that is important since Ford rolled out a bunch of new engines.

lmao.. this "plasticy" interior thing never dies. Each year another moron will make the same dumb comment. Thanks for contributing to 2011

lets hear about that plethora of experience with all 4. What years? 1996 Dodge, 2000 Ford, 2002 Tundra, 2008 Chevy?

Always on top of that stuff. Except for the fuel filter, it's an in tank filter. It had 16/20 on the window sticker when I bought it. then the gov't mandated more true life ratings in 2008. It went to 14/18 on the window sticker from then on.

I like the interiors of the new Fords. They are nice trucks now days.

Damn, you must have had on hell of a tail wind. That is pretty impressive.

I test drove one. I was not impressed with it. Maybe it was a bad one? I could see the truck building more boost under a load. But with out a load it felt like any other 6 banger to me. It drove and rode nice though.
