Ordering gave me time to test the other Brands!

IMO opinion, most people are brand loyal and are reluctant to change.. IMO again, GM started innovating trucks and that's what got me into them in the early 90's, and ford followed, but dodge did not for a while. i stayed gm forever because even if i had misgivings about this or that the new models would always be better, and they were. they finally stated losing me with their 07 models and I still bought two more a 09 and '14. I then needed a truck in a different location and said screw it i'm trying a ram, and the ride, etc... blew me away. have two now.

Same here. 6 new Silverado’s between 1993-2013. I was a hardcore GM guy. Test drove a 2013 Laramie and haven’t looked back. I was also blown away how far the RAM’s had come. On my third one since then.

Every Ford I've ever owned was a pile.

Never trusted their diesel engines one bit. Still don't.

Didn't trust the early dirtymax with their overheating issues.

If I didn't own the 3500 HO, I imagine it would be a GMC even though they're down on power from the others.

I looked at them all last month and overall, liked the Ram the best.

Tundra is ugly and interior is lame.

Ford’s styling took a step back. The interior is better but too much ugly plastic.

New 2023 Chevy interior is much better. But seats were lousy, the 10 speed tranny was balky, the 5.3 seemed weak, and the suspension was floaty.

The Nisan Titan was not bad, but wasn’t great at anything. If it was $10,000 less than the others it might make sense.

Looked at midsize trucks too, but they are not so much cheaper for what you get. Best midsize was actually the little Ford Maverick. Had the most room inside.

The maverick felt roomier than the ranger?
