The last 2 Z71's I had were great, both getting up to 200k on them before I got rid of them. The Gov't Motors deal made me buy a 2010 F150 Lariat SuperCrew 4x4 last year w/24k on it. The Z71's seats are slightly more comfy for me, but the room in the Ford trumps that, especially the spacious back seat. I get 14 in town and 19 on the hwy, and used to get 20 mpg before Uncle Sam crammed E10 ethanol down our throats. Very, very quiet and smooth ride in the Ford. I like it very much. We've had several of the big Tundra's at work also. They're nothing special for the way we use them, and fuel mileage is pitiful in the 5.7's in our experience. 12-13 in town and 16-17 on the hwy is as good as we've gotten, and lots of times much closer to 16. They ride good though.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
