Going to look at new 1500 crew cabs today
Tired of looking at all the junk around here used. Heck, they want $25k for 75-100k mile later model stuff. I'm seeing Chevys at $31k, Nissan Titans at $28-31k, Fords are 8-12K off. I would have to...

Ford/GM have the most payload for their crew cabs. For a family with growing boys, you'll want all the payload you can get.
Toyota's 4.30 axle is almost identical to Ford/GM 3.73.
Nissan's gearing is significantly taller than everyone else, despite what they claim it is equivalent.
I think the F150 Ecoboost is the best available in half ton. But that's usually a premium over competitors. It has the most torque at the lowest engine speed. it has the best fuel economy for trucks with similar power. It comes in a truck that offers two payload improving packages.
GM's 5.3L is a good choice. It offers good fuel economy. It is usually very discounted as 2013 is the last year of this design. The 6-spd 3.42 is a decent combo.
