They are rated from Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, to Excellent in CR
Toyota are rated Excellent
Ford trucks are rated Very Good
Ram and Nissan rated Fair
GM/Chevy Poor
This is for 150/1500 class and I just looked it up. Over all categories, though, Ford was rated the best and recommended. Toyota second then Ram. Then GM/Chevy, and lastly the Titan. Please don't kill the messenger.

Agreed. While one person may have good luck, Consumers Union, publisher of Consume Reports, has thousands of people that send in their ratings. Those ratings represent the actual owner's experience(s) and THEIR ratings of the vehicle (or other product) they have owned and used. As the rating is anonymous to other readers, I doubt it is likely that the rater gives a better rating when it isn't warranted. I've been a "member" for over 25 years and take the ratings quite seriously.

good or not, I think the current Titan trucks are one of the most hideous looking trucks ever made. Let alone you can have a diesel dually for what they want for a diesel 1/2 ton.

You know the first thing i was taught in my statistics class was that statistics can lie and be manipulated. I never ever go by statistics on stuff like this... honestly I think trucks are like RV's, every manufacturer makes great ones and every manufacturer makes lemons. Pick the one you like that is in your budget and fits your needs then hope it wasn't a Monday or Friday unit and hope it Serves you well. There is no end to the truck debate as everyone is correct and everybody is wrong.

What I have heard also is the disappointing payload numbers.

Weight usually beats up 1/2 tons payloads.

So what is your cargo carrying capacity which includes driver and passengers. This is the payload which is posted inside the drivers door.

Enjoy your new truck
I hope you enjoy your new truck, may it always pull the mountain pass you want it to, get the milage you expect, never have a misfire to leave you in doubt , may you hear "nice truck" for a passer by and most importantly may you pass all those makes and models that that people on forums say is better than yours with a big smile on your face.......
Just enjoy the new smell and don't forget to keep the air/oil/fuel filters changed.

Some people like Chevys, some like Fords. Some like blondes and some like brunettes. Some like big dogs and other like little ones.
As others have said, enjoy your new toy.

Thanks
My super duty is my first diesel, I had to learn all about the differences and read tons of forms about the do's and dont's. Gave my self a dang headache about def fluid, regen cycles, what oil to use and how to "break it in". Finally quit reading and worrying, the screen tells me when something needs attention and the owners manual tells me what to do or use. Life is good and I love setting the cruise and letting the diesel do its job, also kinda like racing Mustang GT's between stop lights....... they always seemed surprised when a huge pickup can stay with them between lights. Its heck on milage and the wife doesn't like it much.....

Hello,
I just bought a fully loaded F 350 with Lariat, Crew Cab, AC/Heat Seats, FX4 package, Snow Plow prep and moon roof, Leather. The price after discounts was $62 k and this is Canadian Dollars which when converting from american is 1.35.
Your trucks are expensive down there..
I had a Titan as a lease supplied vehicle. No complaints and in 2 years nothing was fixed except a set of tires for winter. Ran, did what it suppose too. Smaller than the F 150.

In diesels, I've had a 2006 Ford F-350 6.0, a 2008 Ford F-350 6.4 and a 2012 Ford F-350 6.7. Like you, my eyes finally glazed over. I just make sure I change the oil frequently, pour in the DEF and change transmission fluid.

Enjoy the new truck. Just leave the "g" out of the name of the engine manufacturer. It's one of my pet peeves. Cummins. Say it a few times to yourself...
