Should I buy Ford or Chevy Truck?

I'm looking at getting a new truck,
Either a Silverado or Ford,
While I like the newest Dodges the older ones in my price range I can't stand,
I currently own a 2002 2500HD 4X4 6.0 Gasser Silverado and have been pretty happy with it overall
I have had only a few minor issues
While I have always been partial to GM I have been leading more towards the Ford lately
They do have the best selling truck and my buddy's F-150 rides really nice and is quiet on the inside
How are they with reliability compared to the Chevy's?
From the people I've talked to I have gotten really mixed results as to the reliability of the two manufacturers
What do you guys think?
Looking at 1/2 tons and 3/4 ton trucks

Fords tend to be a little stiffer and drive more like trucks. Chevys are usually easier and more comfortable to drive, but aren't as good for bad roads or heavy work. Dodges fall apart with heavy loads on bad roads and have more reliability and quality control issues by a long shot.
You can't really compare a 2500 with an F-150. If you need an F-250, it might look like a 150, but they drive completely differently. One unmatchable thing about the F-150 is the aluminum body/chassis. If you're where there's a lot of salt on the road or in the air, it will hold up much better than steel.

Get a Ford or a Toyota. I had a Chevy and it was a POS! My Nissan wasn't that great either.

  • What type of Chevy car should I buy? I drive a Ford truck and have never even drove a car. I want a Chevrolet car. It can't be any other kind just Chevy, I just really love their look and symbol. Should I get an Impala, Cruze, Cobalt, or Malibu? And what year(between 2006-2013)?
  • Should I buy a 1977-1979 or a newer model 2010+ Ford truck? I'm looking into getting another truck. For some reason my gut is telling me to get an older carbureted truck. Nothing beats the feeling of driving an old American 4x4 truck. But newer trucks are safer and get better mpg. Looking for some input on this decision.
  • Should I buy a Ford Focus Zx3 or should I look for a different car? I'm a male going to college as a sophmore next semester (this car will be my first car). Should I buy a stick or an automatic (I don't know how to drive a stick at the moment, but I'm willing to learn)? What do you think would be more fun? Do you think a ford focus Zx3 is a good car for me or do you have any other car suggestions?
  • I want to buy a new car under 13000,to last at least 10 years.What should i buy? I was thinking at an ford fiesta. What do you think? Other suggestions? I don't want to buy one that costs much to repair… 13000 euros
