Starting the new truck hunt

Any of them would work. I will say the park rangers where we camp host have one of the aluminum bed Fords and absolutely HATE it. After less than one year the bed already had holes in it. Lots of dents too from putting stuff in there. So if you actually use your truck for more than a grocery getter, think carefully. As for which one? Go drive them all. Ram, folowed by Ford probably have the most polished interiors. GM follows third. When you finally decide, check places like Dennis Dillon, and Dave Smith motors for their best fly/drive price.
This is a very good summary and is what I saw as I was searching for a new rig. Ended up with the Ram but bigger since I have a larger trailer. I have an 04 Chevy truck for work and it doesn’t seem like GM has improved as much as Ram has since I first owned one 12 years ago.
