All right, I have been looking into buying a new truck lately and want to hear some opinions. What do y'all think is the best bang for you buck when looking at 2014-2015 trucks. Options I am looking at include 4x4 and preferably a V8, I have been leaning toward the F-150s because their price for what you get seems very reasonable. Opinions?

Get a F150 4X4 with a 5.0L

That's what I have been looking at the most, but the popcorn eater makes me curious haha

just waiting on the crowd to start throwing their brand in the hat. Good luck your going to hear an ear full.

I agree with what was already said. The 5.0 f-150 is a good set up for pulling a few thousand pounds with no problem. Not to mention the great ride that the new f-150's have.

Gm engines have too many cam timing issues for me and i am just not a dodge, ram, or chrysler fan at all.

Well seeing as both your opinions were in line with what i was thinking, i will continue down the same road. Thank yall

UTDmiller, I think if you seriously look at the Toyota Tundra, you will change your mind about which truck to purchase.

Here we go! Took a lot longer than I first thought.

If I'm just towing a bass boat and wanted an F150, I look hard at the 2.7l ecoboost. It's performance is jaw dropping and gets better economy than the 5.0l.

I don't think you could go wrong with the Ford and 5.0.

+1, especially if you plan to keep it a while. Personally I think the new Fords are ugly but so are Dodges. There also seems to be this renewed fascination with chrome.

I find it comical you say the fords are ugly and recommend a Toyota considering how similar they look.

I loved my 5.0 in the 2012 mustang I used to have.Im sure it's just as nice in the f150. Sounds good too.
People love to hate on the toyota 5.7, but it is a nice truck too.

Well I would be buying a new 2014, way better deals since the 2015s are out now. Family member has a tundra and there are some things I like about the truck but gas mileage is pretty horrid, though 2 more mpg doesn't seem like much itll make a difference over a year. I plan on looking at a few this weekend so I appreciate all the responses.

Edit: Step Brother has a 2013 f150 5.0 and get 2-3mpg more towing or not over the tundra which is a 2012

If you want reliable, look at the Consumer Reports year-end buying guide. It shows the repair records for vehicles over the last several years.
