The BEST American Pickup Truck Is... 

Lame

​@@atg1338 yet true

@@fl_atv_riders4455 yes it's true you are lame

Maybe because Tundra’s Market share has fallen to less than 5% of the full size truck market.

Yea they are huge Toyota simps and don't want to lose special access.

Exactly

If i need power i get a generator.

L😂L

😂😂😂

That V8 has tons of problems.

Lol. The GEN3/GEN4 Coyote in the F150 blows the L86/L87 GEN5 6.2L out of the water in the 1/2 tons. The 6.2's aren't close to being as easy, cheap, rewarding, or potent to mod as the 18+ 5L trucks. If you want to argue a 6.2L with a ported head, and aftermarket cam setup, then okay then it could compete in the N/A arena, but do you really want to buy a $70K+ dollar crewcab truck to then spend probably between $6K-$7K in getting the heads ported, getting a big aftermarket cam, a DOD delete kit, and the supporting fuel system, and exhaust mods that would be needed to run with a tuned on E85/bolton, 5L truck? For that $ you can get add a blower to the 5L and put down more power than a stock L87 will safely handle. And yes I own both a 3.5L/10R80 truck (wifey's truck) and a 5L/10R80 truck, but I also used to own a 19 Camaro 1SS 1LE, and understand the GEN5 SBC pretty well. I would still own that car, but a semi ran into me and it was totaled out.

@@JBECMADNIC Or buy a Japanese car and forget about any of that stuff.

@@JBECMADNIC Japanese cars.

@@JBECMADNIC Lying is a sin.

Cadillac is owned by gm so its obvious why they are the same…

@@PlaneButcher they’re not the same welcome animations, I’m just saying they’re both impressive.

Why do trucks have to be a tool for a purpose? I’m a tradesman and when I hear that It makes no sense to me. With that logic buying a Porsche GT3 means you must be a race car driver that tracks it daily. Or buying a jeep wrangler means you must be an off road enthusiast. Come on man!

@@22killakush22bro I’m 6’9 I need a truck for comfort I wish I could get a car it’s not all about work these guys tripping

I like your comment… it’s funny…. But you are correct…. I f want a luxury ride… I buy a car…. If I want something to carry my s$&t, hunt and fish… I buy a truck.

Gucci Gang!

Serious answer, because people say they want to see reviews of affordable trucks but when we publish one….no one watches it. 🤔

The people who want low spec or middle of the road models are in a minority these days. Trucks are not what they once we're nor is the demographic that buys them. Fact is, most truck buyers these days want top end models so they can use it as a luxury family vehicle.

@@TFLtalk now, while I understand that, and maybe it’s just the area of the country I live in (Southeastern US), in my observation, the vast majority of truck owners drive and buy middle of the road models. I live about 30 miles outside a very affluent city in a pretty affluent area and while there are some top of the line models, most are middle of the road, working man trucks.

@@TFLtalk also… thank you for your reply.

@@TFLtalk😂 good answer

Honda Ridgeline

Cybertruck AWD and its not even close. Soon it will be $72.5k after IRA rebate.

The Ford Maverick

Raptor

F350 Superduty

Lol diesel is terrible these days

Need to add in cost of DEF

@@Mike-kr7wx is it really that expensive tho?

They said it has all the upgrades making it comparable to the platinum

Where does Stellantis quality, materials, or attention to detail surpass that of *gm?* Thats not true in any segment including this one. The D. Ultimate is the only truck with laser etched topographical maps of the mountain the truck’s trim is named after. GMC is the only one with engravings in the actual leathers and decorated real metal trim too. The same topographical maps are in the Sierra’s welcome animation that includes both displays. Where does the RAM have more attention to detail? Lol

I almost bought the 1500 3.0 diesel till I talk to some mechanics I know. They all said, stay away from the 3.0. One of them is a Chevy mechanic. No thank you! The two guys I know that have one, I seen them at the gym the other day. I asked them how it’s going? They said terrible, one had fuel pump failure, injector failure and the other had turbo actuator failure and excessive oil leakage. Exhaust issues too!

Not me...if it was a dodge 3.0? Yes lots of trouble

@@lyndalolson3067 That’s good! Not a dodge. One is a 2021 gmc and the other is a Chevy trail boss. My best friend did just trade his dodge diesel becuase of exhaust issues thou! He didn’t want to deal with it no more.

Diesels don’t belong in a half ton

@@sprint2648 why?

It’s not American it’s Netherlands owned. If I was going to buy foreign I would get a Toyota

I think you’re operating off of old info for turbos

And GM went bankrupt a couple of times and was bailed out with taxpayers money. Ford 100%!

Saic gmc owns 50% of gmc. Saic is china

About 10 years ago

I like the Ram with the 3.6 That would be the one I go with. Good luck with your truck!

Why not? I use mine as a truck everyday. And I definitely didn’t pay $88k.

Nothing wrong with that, more sales means better products for everyone.

I see your point was made!

It gets even lower than that with a fully loaded Tungsten. Like 930.

@@SliderFury1that’s what happens when you’re trying to be the S-class of pickup trucks. I wonder how reliable that air suspension is. Lol 🤡

1.5 dang people must be from the south 😂 I'm from the south but 222 and 6'3 lol

My sienna has 1150

My Titan has 2300, and front bebch seat. I take that over all these useless electric features. Why do i need a scale if i don't have payload? I guess to se how much weight have i gained. Engine without a dipstick in a truck🤮. Premium fuel in a truck? $80k+ price tag. Time to buy some used trucks as a spare...

It is certainly fair when it’s an $80,000 Lariat. That’s *Denali* price range. They _tried_ to help Ford’s case by opting out of mentioning/comparing price. Now you’re in the comments pushing the issue lol

Well the lariat starts at $65k and is well equipped already and yes you can get a higher trim f150 for around the gmc and ram $$$ however at the price point of the Lariat your better off with the Ford Because apples to apples the GMC Sierra SLT would be its competition and it isn’t as sexy. Nutshell-The Denali is more expensive than the Lariat. But it’s not crazy expensive considering the two and you can definitely option up an f150 way more if you wanted.

I guess so. Dealers are asking $62k for a new 2024 Denali with $75k sticker. Not sure how much they want for the new 25 ram though

I get it, but, remember, it's not professional grade

You are so cringe

2015 5.0 keeping it as long as possible ❤🎉

Italian

Also GM is Chinese government motors. Ford is the last real American brand

@@rayshawnrayborn6624are you a bot or a delusional MAGAt?

@@jorgedelatorre474 Italian when it was owned by Fiat. German when it was owned by Daimler Benz AG. Netherlands since 2021.

None of these trucks are American. Look at the foreign parts list on the Ford 😂.

Next time do all 4 brands fully loaded with their highest trim except for block heater. I would pick tungsten fully loaded with its body style and just add from other brands. Give me the ford outlets, weight system of your load, function of automatic running boards, and under seat storage. Now GMC give me supercruise, it’s rear bumper, and the back seat lower back storage. The only thing I wanted from Toyota was reliability, but that is not possible now.😢

Have ‘23 Lariat Powerboost and it is the best truck I have ever had. Utility is 150%!

Ford with 34 open recalls at the moment. No thanks.

Have you heard about depreciation. You can buy these for high 50’s

Horseshit. The Tundra is built in America.

True. But paying $70k to $90k compared to $15k will increase your expectations a bit lol.

At least the fixes/replacements were somewhat reasonable between supply, price and finding a mechanic that deal with it. A transmission and/or engine failure on some of these tin cans is a potential financial disaster for people who aren't made of money.

Ford automatic transmissions back then were crap. The engines, however, would run forever. 300, 302, 351, 460 and the 7.3 Power Stroke were all legendarily reliable. The same went for Chrysler and GM engines of that era, and the Chrysler autos were crap as well. GM definitely had the most reliable autos of these three back then.

I agree I love seeing in the comments "vehicles aren't built the way they used to be" Nope you are correct!! They are safer, have more power and capabilities, more fuel efficient, more comfortable and last on average 4-5 years longer than vehicles did 30 years ago. 👍

@@SoonerMikeD first new truck was 21k in 1998. Last new truck was 41k in 2021. I get the lowest trim with heavy duty tow package and bigger motor. I don’t buy all the fancy crap that raises the price. So I guess if you have to be fancy then complain away. Otherwise it wasn’t bad. Yes, The last 3 years saw huge increases due to inflation. I’d wouldn’t buy any truck for a few years unless you can find a sale. My brother just got 12k off on a new 150. So prices are getting better.

Me too. So millions of Americans over the last 76 years.

The Lariat’s *price* at $80k is equivalent to a Denali though. Lol

Chevy made in Mexico. Even Toyota makes in US

You would think Andre would’ve caught that having owned an FX4

True

Just about then “RUST “ Fiat kept that for RAM and the fact Stellantis introduced their quality into the FIAT RAM you can’t go wrong with….lol

But you get the Ram tough cute little gear selector dial.

​@@fishonalbertaoutdoors9761I hate that! I love the console shifter in my 2011 ram

The Tremor rides even better than the Raptor?

That's crazy but I believe it if you have both. I have a '21 Platinum and had been interested in a Tremor as well for our second vehicle. I may have to take one for a spin and see how it feels.

Do you have the 402A? Are the seats comfier in the raptor?

Drive the new 6. Certainly NOT a disappointment 💪

I agree on new Tundras. Co worker bought one 8 months ago and it’s just not refined at all. Cheap plastic everywhere and it looks like his is going to have to have engine replaced. Very rough shifting transmission to. He wants to trade it on a new F150 but dealers don’t want it knowing engine is going bad, he is stuck and not a happy camper. Toyota use to be unbeatable but those days are gone.

Then get a 1 ton, nice harsh ride with poor handling.

Maybe your right😮

Do the super duties have cylinder deactivation? I’m already thinking what my next traditional truck will be after I am ready to upgrade from my 23 Titan.

@@corydegree8531no they do not. They are not bound by the same rules because they are considered commercial vehicles.

@Bruhwhatthehellbruh both GM and Ford have cylinder deactivation in 3/4 ton and up gas engines Ford started it with the 7.3 but not the 6.2 and GM first yr is the 6.6 gas.
