This is an argument that's argued all the time.  Share you opinion on the better truck.  The definition of "better" is up to you.

In the automotive world slow is a very relative term.

The Ford. I like its styling and interior better.

TBR

Definitely the Ford, it does everything better than the current Silverado imho. The only advantage the Chevy has is its regular depth bed, what was Ford thinking?

Raghavan

When's the new Silverado coming out?

QuoteFall 2006 IIRC.
Hmm... ARe there any spy piucs?

TBR

I am sure there are some out, but I don't know where they are. The front will probably look like the Tahoe's and all truck beds pretty much look the same.

Hmm... Maybe my opinion will change once that is out...

TBR

Mine almost certainly will, but what will be out in the future is irrelevant.

100% for the Ford as of right now.  :praise:

I didn't think the Silverado was coming until MY 08, but the GMT900 SUVs arrive next year.

F-150 easily for me, BTW. The Silverado has more advantages than some are willing to admit, and certainly isn't a bad vehicle, but the F-150 is a far superior all-arounder.

SaltyDog

The only thing with the new Ford is that I have seen some bad reliability marks, which they have done great in previously.

Well honestly,

The ford might be a slightly better all around truck...but i cant stand the looks of the f-150... the bed comes up to my shoulder...what the hell was ford thinking...thats my big issue with the ford...the chevys looks and interior are more than good enough for what my family uses...My only complaint is the edge of the hood meets the side of the fender and leaves a wierd line on the side...but i've gotten used to it so its no biggy...my other complaint is the shocks are a little bouncy over speed bumps...nothing a shock swap cant fix ;)  :)

We have over 1,500 miles on our '05 silverado and I couldnt be happier with it...it has been awesome... B) ...

Our '97 silverado was Amazing...the only major problem we had was a faulty altenator several years ago, and that was an easy fix...and then after that we NEVER had a problem with that truck...until i ran it into a tree...

The Ford is a better truck (it's newer) at almost everything, but if I had the choice I'd still buy a Chevy. It still does the job just fine, and I'm just biased towards them.

The Ford, hands down. I've used a rather nice new F-150 4 door, and though I think the styling is too boxy, it's a capable truck with a nice interior. The Silverado is just capable.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

Silverado is a 4 door incase you didnt know...the interior isnt TOO bad...i admit it definitly isnt the best..but it serves its purpose flawlessly

I'm fully aware of the door availibility on a Silverado.  ;)  At any rate, I hate the interior. It's functional, but it's very cheap. Much like the last F150.

In your defense, Silverados have really comfy seats.  But I haven't sat in any new F-150 seats...
