And drive them to see what feels good to you.
Any new truck is very nice. Try them on for size, you will know which one you like.?

Toyota Hilux Tiger - 4WD Diesel - 5 Speed - built with skid plates etc. for driving in the bush.

2014 and newer GM trucks do not have a steering sector as older trucks.
They have a rack and pinion.and a electric power steering.
Mine just went out...2300 bucks later it will steer.
When it went out....it locked the whole steering assembly up....no steering at all

and not drive like a "truck'. They always were very reliable as to engines and drive trains. Mexicans can make them run forever with only duct tape and bailing wire. Back in the 70's it seemed the roads were too narrow to drive a ford truck! lol Twin I-beam indeed.

I had a Dodge (excuse me Ram) or two and they did ok. Seemed a little tinny in comparison and had more mechanical issues. Horrible gas mileage.

Toyota's seems to be great. Little Nissan's are fantastic. But the bigger ones (Titan) have rear axle seal issues, really poor design. Chevy and GMC are good trucks but several years ago some had tranny issues. Just a little $3000 repair. Ford F250 diesels are horrible and I'd not own one. Some issues had you pulling the cab. It takes (3) computers interacting with the varied systems (including exhaust) to start the thing. Also the gas burners with turbos are turds. Turbos will not last much past 100k and are really expensive to repair. Just pass on anything Turbo.

You really have to do your homework. Consumer's Reports and Kelly Bluebook information on owners feedback. Check online forums for owners bitching about problems too.

There are some very good vehicles out there and they can go 300k miles if you get a good one. Good luck.

Our first Ford ever. Very impressed overall. Decent mileage (I'M old), lots of power. Tried the Toyota, Canyon, and Honda. Got a fair deal too. Did not try full size, only needed a mid.

truck" fight. I am not a Ford man, nor a Chevy man or whatever. We have 2 Nissans, a Chevy 4X4 truck, an 86 Bronco and a new Ford Expedition and have never had problems with any of them. I probably wouldn't buy a Chevy for personal reasons. Many of the Dodge, Chevy and Ford trucks are made in Mexico but I don't have a problem with that. But if I were buying a new truck today I would buy a new Ford, just because.
