Hey Matt, is ranger56528 one of your accounts too? Seems odd if it weren't 'cause I asked ranger but you knew the answer?
ORIGINAL: M.Hensler/PA It was. The Tundra will handle it fine. How do you like yours btw? I have the 5.7 and with me alone and no cargo, I'll get 20mpg. I'm barely on the gas and it's accellerating with traffic. I pulled a yukon and a full sized conversion van out of the snow this winter effortlessly it seemed. Passing is no problem considering it's quicker thanthe standardmid 90's Mustang V8. Pretty amazing how this thing moves considering it weighs near 6000 lbs. |

Wisconsin man's '91 Silverado set to hit 1 million miles
Posted Feb 1st 2008 11:01AM by Alex Nunez Filed under: Maintenance, Trucks/Pickups, Etc., Chevrolet, Driving  Talk about finding a good used car. Frank Orsenick bought his '91 Silverado in 1996. At the time, it had 41,000 miles on the clock. After 11 years of service (and a lot of driving), the old pickup is about to reach a milestone. Frank had the oil changed last week, just as he has every 3,000 miles since acquiring the Chevy, and it's sure to be the last one it receives as an everyday-use vehicle. You see, it's just 1,200 miles away from spinning past the 1,000,000-mark on the odometer. When it hits the big number, Frank is going to put his faithful ride into retirement. As for how he got this far, Orsenik credits regular maintenance and "a little luck." We should all be so lucky. When informed of Mr. Orsenik's impending milestone, Chvrolet General Manager Ed Peper said, "Most Dependable, Longest Lasting isn't just a slogan, and it applies not only to Chevy pickups but to the people who drive them. We get lots of mail from customers with hundreds of thousands of miles on their Chevy trucks - so much, in fact, we formed the Silverado 200,000 mile club in 2006 - but a million miles is certainly remarkable. We're glad to have Mr. Oresnik on the Chevy team." Congrats to Mr. Orsenik. May your next truck be as dependable as this one. [/align] |

  Chevrolet Silverado Selected as a Top Pick by Consumer Reports By: Mike Levine Posted: 02-28-08 19:10 PT© 2008 PickupTruck.com Page: [1] Consumer Reports has selected the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab as its top truck choice among all pickups for 2008. CR says, "the redesigned Silverado is considerably improved. It achieves a nice balance between work attributes and livability, including a generous payload rating, a comfortable ride, improved interior quality and steering feel, and easy access." The Silverado was the only domestic vehicle chosen in the ten categories that make up CR's Top Picks, and the first since 2005. In earning the award, the Silverado was selected over the all new Toyota Tundra, which won Consumer Reports' half-ton comparison test last year. Consumer Reports says the Tundra's first year reliability has been subpar, particularly the 5.7-liter V8 four-wheel-drive version. |

I'm glad Chevy/GMC changed interiors with the new lineups, as the old was FUGLY:D My brother-in-law owns an 05 1500. Very solid truck...dated interior. Good gas mileage though for a fullsize. |

I have two opinions on this one if you want a truck that will use sheer muscle, and balls of steel to get you out of a jamgo with dodge 1500 with the hemi. if you want some thing you can drive off a cliff flip it over and drive home, go and buy a pre 2006 toyota tundra

Edit: Sorry if I came off wrong there. I still think there are many solid trucks out there (not just toyota). I just wanted to make mention of how vehicles today are often assembled/manufacturered in various places. |

RE: The most reliable truck for bowhunting?
ORIGINAL: M.Hensler/PA You get 20mpg? I don't even get that in my Tacoma.:( Is that highway cruising? What is your around town mileage? You're 4wd right? Since I got my truck in September of last year, I've left the mpg tracker untouched and so far I've gotten an average of 14.3 mpg. keep in mind I work 3 miles from home and run around town quite a bit so alot of that is city mileage. Top it off, I used to be a drag strip addict so my foot isn't always lead free. |

Tell you the truth bud, I like theDodge's design up front better than the Tundra.However, Ilike the look of the Tundra's box and tailgatebetter. But, that's just me. |
