Good afternoon all!
Trying to figure out what to look into next for a DD. I want something to tow with and here's what I'm looking at: SUVs: TBSS Jeep SRT8 Trucks: Ford F-150 Raptor Newer Body Style Dodge Ram 1500 Not really sure what else there is for options to be honest... Any suggestions?

If you can afford the Raptor, go for it. My neighbor has one and the thing is a beast. The TBSS and SRT8 probably will probably not work very well with towing as even my Dad's 5.3L Silverado didn't really like towing the Camaro to Texas. And well I don't really care for dodge.
Is there a reason for not considering a Silverado? During Truck month, you can get them for a great price. |

how much you plan on towing? if not a lot, maybe check out a new canyon or Colorado. probably be better for your daily driving gas mileage.

As for the silverado's, I like them.. to an extent. They look nice, have power but the build on the interiors seem cheap to me. I used my girlfriend's dad's GMC Denali 1500 to tow a bow and all the plastic pieces started shaking. That was an immediate turn off for me. I'm curious if the Raptor would tow well. Quote:
Gas mileage isn't a big deal as I'll be driving a shorter distance to work here soon.
