Currently driving a 2010 Tundra 4x4 5.7L, which has gone 160,000 trouble-free miles.
Looking to get a 2019 pickup. Impressed with the Ram 1500 Limited, and right now it's winning out over the 2019 Silverado, but I have yet to test drive the Sierra Denali. I suspect the Ram will edge that one out, too.
I have some mobility issues, thanks to a military career, and I like the way the air suspension lowers the Ram to make entry a breeze. Also, neither Silverado nor Sierra offer much more than a 24 gallon fuel tank.
The Tundra has a 46 gallon tank, and since my wife & I are retired, we spend a great deal of time travelling. Don't tow, but that bigger tank gets us down the road. But Tundra suspension is kinda stiff, and I think it's time for an upgrade.
Also, Silverado and Sierra don't have CD players? WTF? I got lots of $$ in tunes on disk that I"m supposed to now give up while on the road?
Anyway, I'm lurking here, reading, researching and taking notes, to see if I can justify the cost of a new pickup, given past reliability issues with both Ram and GM.
So far it's looking promising.

You'll be blown away by the Ram interior and ride. Good luck in your search.

I’m a mil guy too now stationed on the East Coast, but a Washingtonian through and through still. Man I miss being home. This new model year is having a few hiccups, but if you study up the common problems folks are experiencing and do a very thorough inspection and take a long test drive (don’t get starry eyed with the new truck!) you’re likely to find a good one. Welcome!
