Which full-sized pickup should I buy?
I have a '99 siverado with close to 150k miles on it. I have always liked the truck but it has been nothing but one small headache after the other. Nothing major ever breaks down, but I have replaced
1. Brakes-new pads all around, and new rotors/ebrake pads on back
2. Hub Assembly-replaced fronts both 2X
3. Battery (2X)
4. Spare Tire Carrier
5. Window regulator passenger side.
- Other than that, the radiator has a pinhole leak in it, and the transmission sometimes hard shifts for no reason. I want to get a newer truck in the next six months with lower miles on it and am thinking about changing brands. I need something that gets pretty good gas mileage for a v8 or v6 and need an extended cab. I also need something that rides fairly well as I drive anywhere from 30-100 miles a day. Also I need something that will not produce headaches, and will get me a good value for what I pay. I usually don't expect to replace a vehicle until it has close to 200k miles on it, don't think this one will make it that far. Can some folks on here with newer model trucks give me your opinions?
Thanks,
CC
My truck has a 5.3 liter V-8, I would like to stay with a V8 or comparable V-6

It sounds like its been a good truck . If you need an extended cab , you are probably talking V-8 . If you are concerned about fuel economy , you probably want to stay with Chevrolet . I have owned Dodge , Ford , Chevy , Toyota , Subaru ,Volvo and VW vehicles and I can tell you that Chevrolet is about the best in value for a Pickup . Try pricing them on cars direct website .

In my experience, I would go for a newer model Ford, preferably a Super Duty. If you were to choose, I would probably get an F-250, between 2007 to now. With my past experience with an '03 F-350 and a '05 Sierra 3500, I would definitely go for the Ford. Also, if you want to stay at the 150, it definitely beats out the Chevy/GMC and Dodge 1500's.
I am not just a strictly Ford guy, I am just saying with my experience the Ford series of trucks has had much better luck putting up with the fleet, unlike the GM counterparts.
