In your opinion, which of the current fullsizers has the best balance of value, power, economy, and styling? The Silverado and F150 are two standouts in my mind.

As of right now I think Ford has the best overall truck value. Chevy is lacking a little, but I think the GMT900 series will bring them right back. Dodge still has some powertrain issues that I see as being very troublesome. I'd say Ford right now, but Chevy will be tough at the end of the year with their new platform. That is hard for me to say as I own a Titan, but there is a large shortcoming that Nissan and other foreign brand vehicles must overcome. Lack of dealer distribution. I believe that the Titan is one of the best trucks, but my one warranty claim took about 1 1/2 months to remedy because of the long distance to the dealer. Living in a rural area, the closest dealers for any foreign vehicles is 70 miles away. So overall, including all possible criteria, Ford seems to be ahead.

The Titan is higher in price, to start, than comparable domestic trucks as well. The closest Nissan dealer to here is about 60 miles away...the closest Chevy dealer is 5 miles away.

i agree, either chevy or ford. i own an 06 silverado Z-71, and it is great, and chevy will definitly be on top at the end of the yr with the new GMT900 series of fullsize trucks and SUVs.

I agree, they all fail in comparison to the Honda Ridgeline. The Ridgeline is the only choice worth choosing if you have to make a choice choose the Ridgeline, peace homies!

I have to disagree with this statement. A Titan does have a higher base price due to it being only KC and CC configurations and no work truck configuration, but when you have two comparably optioned trucks the Titan is thousands below the domestics. I looked at every truck and when I compared the options I got on my Titan with those of the domestics there was a 3k-5k price jump up to the domestics, even after the hefty discounts and rebates. Just my experience when buying my full-size truck.
