Replying to: alfa_xray2010 (Jan 31, 2007 11:13 am) I know that the F150 just came out in 2004 but.. .. the powertrain is the weakest of all the 5 competitors at 300 hp; .. it is impossible to get Stability control on any F150 at any price; .. in addition to having the weakest engine it also has the heaviest frame so it's doubly slow; .. 4 spd tranny vs Tundra's 6 spd; it should have had the new Ford/GM 6 spd from jump street; .. all the airbags are not standard; this is a common shortcut Ford is taking across all product lines ( extra money ). However in balance.. .. with it's very strong frame it is second behind the Tundra in towing capability; .. just don't try to accelerate very fast with a load; .. it can be ordered with a heavy duty payload package ( extra ) which gives it best-in-class hauling on 4 configurations - but at a price. .. it has been proven to be very reliable and durable. .. can Ford spend enough money to give the next Gen a competitive top-end drive train? |

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jan 31, 2007 5:17 am) How many average owners are going to own the Silverado, for a work truck ???? The majority of the people that have work trucks buy diesel HD 3/4 & 1 ton's.  The half ton owners buy trucks because they can haul house hold furnishings, tow a boat or trailer once in a while. In many cases they want the 4x4 capability for inclement weather and sometimes hunt and fish making a truck the practical vehical for throwing a carcass in the back or fishing poles and tackle boxes in the bed. A 1/2 ton truck is simply a mans automobiles that his spouse likes enough to drive or see's practical use for one. These of course are my opinions based on family, friends, co-workers, and self experience of owning a truck. My wife for example want's me to buy a brand new black 07' GMC Sierra Denali. I told her I want to wait for the 2-mode hybrid since it will achieve the desired fuel economy I'd want. Rocky

Keep drinking that toyota koolaid............... Less than a full size (aka height) bed, bottom of the heap in towing capacity, NO snow plow prep. pkg.(yet GM and Ford DO offer it in a 1/2 ton. No wonder its called the 7/8 full size pickup ! Someday yota will catch up! Wish Edmunds would update their truck specs. on the 07 yota so it could be compared to the others. toyota mAY later than sooner innovate rather than imitate. |

Replying to: geo9 (Jan 31, 2007 7:03 pm) The new Tundra hitting next Monday is the Beast of the Market. It's bigger, wider, longer and more powerful than any other 1/2 ton in existence. I can't believe that you have missed all this. Hellooo. The baby 5.4L 300 hp Ford is the smallest and the weakest of all the big engines in the segment. It's only about 2/3rds of the Tundra's power. I'm shocked that you've missed everything. Did you know that there was an Auto Show in Detroit this year. OK I'm poking fun but seriously the F150 is actually the weakest and slowest of all the 5 trucks in the market now. The new Tundra shown at this years Detroit Auto show is the biggest truck on the market. Stupid big.

Replying to: rockylee (Jan 31, 2007 7:17 pm) The Denali better be good. The Silvy lasted in 1st place for 3 weeks. There is also a couple of other dark secrets that no one has mentioned about the 2007 Silvy. The 6.0L doesn't really tow 10,500# as the specs say it should. Well it does, but you can't buy one. It's a little dark secret that you can buy a 6.0L but it's only as capable as the 5.3L!!! The 5.3L is the smallest and least capable of all the 1/2 ton engines....it's neck and neck with the 5.4L in the F150 for last in the segment. |
