Help! WTB: looking for a truck as a DD Dear TSers, I am in the market for a DD. I am looking for a truck that's comfy enough for daily driving with a good amount of power or mod potential. Thank you all for stopping by :friends: |
Chevy Silverado, plenty of aftermarket goodies to add to it but with the independent front suspension much more comfy as a DD than the solid axle Fords. |
Ford SVT Raptor... |
Been in the market for one myself. I daily an Avalanche. The Avalanche and Ram 1500 have a coil spring rear end rather than leaf springs, which means the ride is much creamier and doesn't skuttle around on bumps. The Avalanche also has the advantage of being a one-box SUV (those "flying buttresses" are actually chassis members) so it rides even smoother still and doesn't have that twisting cowl shake. The disadvantage is the bed is narrow. I love my Avalanche and will replace it with either another Av or a Ram 1500 TRX4 soon. |

How heavy is your trailer? |
~7k loaded |
I'd buy either diesel, or the 5.7 V8 from Toyota. The 1500 platform trucks are yet to be available with a diesel option, although manufacturers are making noise about this happening. My first choice would be a GMC Sierra Denali HD with the 6.6l Duramax, followed by the Ford F250 Powerstroke. |
