which truck do you trust
 

ok so i was in a discussion last night about about my truck and why i choose chevy over the others. i figure most of us have trucks so we can carry our bikes, be it for stunting purposes or post wreck:banghead lol. so i figured i would post a poll. which truck do you think is the best, most reliable out there. ie if your gunna go out of town with your bikes what do you trust to get you there and back
chevy
ford
dodge
other

I have had a 05 nissan frontier since new , it has 120000 miles only repair i have had to make is replacing the u joints , 1 set of tires , 1 set of front brake pads. the tank sender goes crazy every once in a while so i just keep track of the mileage. gets 19mpg on the highway with 2 bikes taking it easy. has pulled a 6 x `12 trailer in the past with 4 bikes , 2 50 in the bed and 4 pass no problem. only flaw for me is 05 crew cab came only in shortbed , largest turning radius of any vehicle i have ever own

Re: which truck do you trust
 

i use an 99 dakota with the v8 in it:LOL plenty of power to haul wat i need. all the things ive replaced in the drive train have been because of me abusing it with constant powerstands :banghead. but what can i say when it leaves posi marks its just something you feel the need to do :yeah

Yep. Ive got an 02 Dakota Sport with the 4.7. My favorite truck ive ever owned. I get the luxury of a v8 in a small truck, but it still gets about the same gas milage as a v6. I just drove it from Kansas City to Arkansas with a 636 and Buell xb9 in the back and had 0 problems.

yeah mine has the 5.2 in it, went to southern tip of indy and back with a pretty much blown out rear differential with two bikes in the bike to stunt with some buds that live there. when i got back a took it to the shop, the mechanic was said that he couldnt believe i did that with as bad as the gears were. so to me if it can do that and have the mechanic in complete aww then thats a truck worth keeping :LOL
