I realize it is way more truck than you are looking for, but I doubt you will find a better COMPLETE truck than a ford at this time.
Thanks Joey - I'm headed out to look at a last remaining 04 F-150 Lariat SC 2WD at lunch

X-plan + rebates = about $5000 off of sticker

I like the ford interior a lot - especially the black leather I am getting ready to go check out

I recently bought a GMC Sierra C3 Denali with the 6.0 liter gas engine (cant afford a new diesel) AWD with all the bells and whistles. I absolutely love it. It gets 15 mpg around town and up to 20 highway. Moves out pretty quick too since its the same engine/tranny combo as the new Silverado SS (maybe a 14.9). Of all the trucks I looked at it has one of the best interiors with heated seats, onstar, kick ass stereo, two tone leather, full gauges including tranny temp, etc etc.
The Ford models also have some awesome interiors as well. If I didnt get this truck I would have gotten a Ford for sure. I do like the Nissan Titan...motor...exterior looks...towing and power...all that looks good. But the interior kind of sucks.

As for Dodge..I dont like any of thier interiors or exterior looks myself. I would only consider a dodge diesel for purchase. Check out consumer reports for trucks. From what I saw Dodge was consistantly a notch or two down in quality from the Ford or GM trucks. The Titan I would guess should be right up there but hasnt been around long enough to get a good history.

Ford, Nissan, GM...I think are all good trucks. Just comes down to preferences and the deal you can get.

Nice looking truck....I think the Titan runs a low 15, I think you could do without those heated seats in FL Did you finally get a chance to use them this morning?

Hahahaha...i know i know. When I first got the truck I just put the AC on full cold and let it get down to about 50 degrees inside just so I could use the heated seats. It was snowing inside the truck but my ass was nice and toasty

I have been using them alot lately for real though....its awesome!

I use them in my dad's Yukon all the time in Ohio. I will be thanking the gods for them in about 24 hrs in 8 degree weather!
