I would have no problem with one of all 3 in the barn. Except I'd want a Tundra too.

They all, I'm sure, bring something to the table. Problem is they overlap too much in the mission statement.

So if it's going to be 3 trucks? 3 brands?

Powerboost is 1/2 ton easy pick for me.
F250 Tremor 7.3 for the heavy lifting
Lightning for hooliganism and errands and groceries

Well look what just happened. Blue Oval snagged me for all 3 missions.
I guess I am a fanboy in denial

I'll play!

PowerBoost because it's the best half ton period.

F250 Tremor with the HO Powerstroke for manhood contest purposes

CyberTruck where dreams become reality in my lifetime. Go on with your bad self Elon!

When it comes down to it, the RAM is still a Chrysler product. I'll leave it at that!

GMC Sierra was my other choice, I get access to both X-Plan with Ford and GMC equivalent. Definitely preferred the Ford, and the 5.0L V8 in the Ford is multiple generations of engine technology ahead of the GM pushrod 5.3 offering.

I will note GMC comes standard with LED headlights no matter what trim (take note Ford) and their gauge clusters are more modern and large.

I have never considered Ram, I don’t like that they are owned by a European company.

Did i mention the GMC comes standard with LED headlights?

Nice. I had to go all the way up to XLT 302A to get LED headlights. Oh wait, I have one of the lowest trim levels on this forum. ;)

Maybe one day after this truck is old and used up, but with the way prices are headed not likely. A mid-XLT will be $80,000 in a few years.

You seem to really desire everyone to be as unhappy with Ford and their truck as you are.
But what is a fella to do if he has a Ford F150 and hasn't had a negative experience?
Or how about 2 of them.
Or try 7 in a row?

You can call me whatever you want for being a satisfied customer. I choose not to take it personal.
And I admit that if Ford gave me a reason to be unhappy, it would perhaps influence my opinion.

But you don't.

I’m familiar with xplan but what is GM’s equivalent to the xplan?

I currently have a Mazda and a Porsche.

Ford F-150 2019 Ram Bighorn vs 2023 Lariat 20230429_180903

I love both of them for all kinds of reasons.

But both have required owner repairs that haven't soured my opinion of either manufacturer. (Although Porsche is well known for some expensive repairs for things that are clearly a design/manufacturer shortcoming)

Gotta show off that barn and lift every chance you get, eh? ;)
