What's a better truck a Ford or a Chevy?

Answer 1

It seems like i answer this question EVERY day.
Here's how the Ford vs Chevy "war" stands.
The Ford F-series truck has held the title as the best selling VEHICLE in the U.S for DECADES!

If you would like to know the truth about trucks:

According to the most recent J.D. Power & Assoc study on dependability, which examined QUALITY of all vehicles
AFTER 3 YEARS on the road.; (this study lists all vehicle makes
not just trucks)

I will list makes & ranks (till I get tired of typing)
1-Lexus
2-Mercury
3-Buick
4-Cadillac
5-Toyota
6-Acura
7-Honda
8-Jaguar
9-BMW
10-Infinity
11-Lincoln
12-Ford
13-Oldsmobile
*note: Ford- Lincoln & Mercury all ABOVE the industry average

Those that fell BELOW the industry average are:

OK I'm tired of typing now.

PLEASE DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!!!!!!!!!


I'm just quoting a 3YEAR study of vehicle owners & I'm sick of CHEVY people crying 'fix or repair daily'
when it couldn't be further from the TRUTH!!!!!

Answer 2

It would helpful to consider what criteria matter to you when you ask "better"?

Do you care about engine performance (torque & hp)?
Gas mileage?
Towing capacity?
Acceleration?
Top speed?
Gross weight & cargo capacity?
Off-road capability?
Interior design?
Passenger/creature comforts?
Color choices?
Purchase price?
Resale value?
Initial quality?
Long-term reliability?
Reputation of mfr and dealer to fix problems?
Warranty?
Styling?

Only you can answer those questions, and how much weight they carry for you - everything else written here is mostly an opinion.

Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan, etc. - it's like debating who is better -- the Hatfields or the McCoys, Wyatt Earp or Bat Masterson.

But since you asked.... if it were my money, I would take a Dodge, then a GM product before I owned a Ford. I think Chrysler has far better engineering than the other two. Fortunately, I don't plan to buy a truck, so I don't need to make the decision.

Answer 3

Ford is the better truck, Chevy is the better car

Answer 4

Chevy all the way. We have a Chevy, and it runs better than any Ford we've seen. Plus you know what they say about Fords: Fix. Or. Repair. Daily.

Answer 5

I bought a used Dodge Ram and it has been a total nightmare. It was great for 3 months then everything started breaking. The most expensive was the blown gaskets which cost $1200. But since this was repaired, have not had any other problems.

Would I buy another Dodge? Hell no!

I'd go with a Toyota, Honda or Nissan trucks.

Answer 6

well if u want a "truck" get a ford or dodge
if u want a cadillac, get a chevy

handsdown, the ford is definetly the workhorse of the three


unless ur a diehard chevy guy

Answer 7

i personally think a ford is a better truck for work while chevy is more for daily leisure with a side-order of work.

Answer 8

Judging by your screen name, I'd say forget the truck and get a SUV.
Ford has not made a good SUV ever, but Chevy just keeps getting better and better. I drive a Jeep GC myself.

Answer 9
