The time has come for my father to get a new vehicle. His current vehicle is a 2002 Chevy Silverado 6.0. It has well over 200K on it and it shows. He has decided on a full sized truck but has not decided what brand to go with.
My thoughts are (1) Ram (2) Tundra (3) Ford/Chevy/GMC).
Ram has a great ride and relatively solid drivetrain with good tech for the money, which is why it gets my #1 vote.
Tundra has reliability hands down, which is tempting, but has old tech.
Ford/GMC/Chevy likely will have their own set of issues, they don't seem to have the reliability they once did.
He is looking for V8 options, no V6 or turbos.
I don't really keep up on the truck scene that much. Are there any models to avoid?
