RE: The most reliable truck for bowhunting?
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

If you're talking strictly gas engines then you need totest drivea new Tundra 5.7 V8. 381hp 401tq 0-60 in low 6, quarter mile in 14.6 sec. - I think the next quickest full sized truck is the Titan which comes in at 15.2 sec. The dodge hemi is 15.3 iirc.
WOW, the complaint is usually the other way around, I'm surprised. If you want more room in a pick-up, try the 07+ Tundra crew max. It has rear seats that can recline as well as move front and back just like the front seats. I'm not even sure if there's anything else on the market like it.

When I sat behind the wheel in a Fordext cabwith the seat all the way back, my knees were against the dash. When I sat in a Chevy, my head was against the ceiling. Same in GMC, of course. Dodge... [:'(]Couldn't slather enough grease on my buns to get into a Nissan. The T-100 was the only pickup I could get into and be comfortable.

I don't do Japanese....somehow it never seemed right and besides I'm more of an isolationist and not a big subscriber to the so-called "world community" movement....

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.

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.

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.

The 07 4x4 ram 1500 QC does a 15.3 to 15.5quarter milewhile the (comparable) 07 Tundra 4x4 5.7 i-force DC does 14.6 to 14.8 qtr mi --- so I think, and I may be wrong here but 7 tenths better will get you out of a jam faster right?

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.
