Sorry to say this guys, but i just love riding way to much. Im thinking about an F150 or 250 to dirve in winter. But the prices of these trucks is redicilous, i am very supprised how well they maintain there resale value.
Well im not giving up on mustangs forever just until i get tired of riding bikes, which wont be for a while, lol.
Thanks for all the advise/help/ and opinions.

Man, I couldn't imagine a big truck like that what with the price of gas ... I'd keep the 'Stang and the bike if I were you over investing in a big truck.
It cost me $41.00 to fill up today from near empty. It's never cost me that much, but the price of gas is up to $3.29. Good luck with the truck, lol.
Come to Chicago, i filled up today at $3.99 for premium. $10 bucks filled the tank and its good to go for the week. Of sorry thats the bike. I was looking at the 4.2L v6 trucks as well for that reason, although i dont think theyill have enough power to hall my bike.

to be honest i was raised with trucks and from what youve said i dont think youd really need and f150, a ranger would be a more practical solution and a 3.0 or 4.0 v6 would be more than enough to tow your bike (my friends '05 ranger can tow his jet ski and his 4 wheeler)

Jeeze, lol ... $3.29 was for Shell V-Power, the low grade gas is between $2.89 and $3.09 ... I couldn't imagine having a big truck right now, lol. I think you should be good with a Tacoma ... The Tundra and Tacoma are the way to go if you want a truck man ... Great trucks.
NEVER EVER EVER get a japanese truck EVER its a sin against god, go with a truck that has a 30 year repuation for greatness
Amen.

Well my mom handed me the keys to go fill up her H2 the pump cut me off at $75 bucks. I had to stop and reset the pump and keep going. How bad is that?

Sorry guy, but the japs win this one. The Tundra is by far the best full size truck (followed by the F-150), and the Tacoma is by far the best mid-sized. I promise. My GF used to drive a Tundra, it held up in every wreck flawlessly pretty much (totalled a van without a scratch), and was never in the shop for anything related to the engine (It was a 2002). The new Tundras are even better, especially the CrewMax.
The Titan sucks though. Looks good, is fast, but has no tow power and no silence in the cab ever.
Tundra, F-150, Silverado, Ram, Titan in that order.

my friends 95 f250 got rearended by a honda accord on the highway and the honda was totaled while the truck just needed the bumper bent back up
trust me ford makes the BEST trucks on earth, i mean thats basically the only thing keepin em alive right now
and the ranger may need the bed extender, how big is the bike anyway?
My girlfriend sideswiped a pole and destroyed the entire right side of the truck, and she also got hit head on by some van doing 40 mph ... The van was totalled, the truck had its bumper slightly bent in on the driver side and needed an alignment after.
Like I said, Ford makes good trucks ... Tundra's are better though. The only one I wouldn't touch is a Titan (I did the research).

still, a japanese pick up just feels weird its like putting a fart cannon on a mustang, it may work but its wrong
I understand what you're saying, but you should want to buy the best product out there because it's the best product, not because of where it's from or how long it's been around.
i admit i am a little biased (born and raised ford) but seeing the american auto industry the way it is i really couldnt buy something foreign, i mean it might be better but is it better in the big picture? besides the advantages a tundra would have over an f150 are pretty small besides the tundra hasnt made it past truck initiation, go into any walmart and look in the automotive department, theyll have ford, dodge and chevy that and darell waltrip drives a tundra and i hate him
and you get this information where? ive noticed that people who dont like certain kinda of cars always have gruesome stories on how they break or fare in an accident
and the new silverado is pug fugly btw
