I have been car searching, and concluded that I want a new truck. If you recall from previous threads, my old truck with the deer blind and all... well... It broke down. No, actually, I broke it. I drove it into a lake whilst dove hunting last week. Anyway, I need a new truck. I need your input on what is the best truck to get. Here are my options...
Dodge Ram 1500 SLT

Ford F-150 XLT

Chevy Silverado 1500

Too bad it starts at $51,000
These are my options. Help me decide.

I would go for the Ford F-150 XLT but I would prefer one of the new 250's over that, those things are crazy fast.
Just by looks, I like the Ford more.
How did you drive your car into a lake, btw?

The Dodge Ram 1500 SLT without a doubt. I havea 2500 and love it.
Fords with the exception of the mustang suck ass.

What kind of 17 year old can afford those?
I still don't understand how you can fall into a lake with a truck.
How'd you get out? lol

Go diesel it's so much more badass and fun to drive, and get an f-250 so you'll be able to tow pretty much anything

Its easy to fall into a river if you're driving a 2 ton truck on squishy mud slopes after a rain right next to a river..... And I got out. I had to break the window and crawl out. I got the truck out with my friend's dually. (after the dirt dried of course). We chained it up and towed it out. It was pretty much totalled, and it would cost way too much to be fixed. And I am paying for most of it. Im buying used, so ya know.
