Pickup Truck Advice?

Much appreciated.
Although, you realize that you've just made my decision harder? I had amost written thrpe XD off the list, but I think we can live with these downsides as long as the quality and support are there. My heart wants the Titan. It's my head that keeps whispering GM!

I've had my Ram Power Wagon since new in 2008. I've been to helll and back with it. The Power Wagon is the only truck with true 4 wheel drive. As it has electric lockers front and rear. Some have only a rear locker. But not both. For ground clearance. The Power Wagon and the Raptor have the most. The Raptor is light on towing cap. The Raptor is $$$. The Power Wagon option is about $6,800 over a standard 2500. Chevy is coming out with a Colorado that has lockers front and rear, and some ground clearance. But it's light on towing too. And it's a mid size.

Ok......with that out of the way.
1500 Ram with the V6 diesel. It's coming back. They got the emissions fixed.
The Titan isn't bad with the Cummins.
These would be my first two picks.

Ford has too many recalls. My brother hates his.
Toyota doesn't have too many recalls. What they do is service campaigns. You take your vehicle in for service. Without you knowing. They will fix things under the service campaign. This is how they get around recalls. The frame replacement is still going on.

Chevy just don't thrill me after owning 3 of them. All have been POS.

Good info. That's why I like hearing from owners of multiple brands, rather than scrolling through dozens of individual forums. People I know a little by now, too.

You're welcome. Here's a link to the Power Wagon forum that I'm on. It's a small group. Around 1,000 members. We all help each other. We don't like BS, and don't beat around the bush. You will get honest opinions. We kid each other pretty good too. We are all cast offs from Dodge Talk. Most of us have been banned from there for our opinions.
