        I love the Dodges but the Hemi seems like massive overkill in a place where I can't even get up to 60 mph

            Great work trucks as well, great hauling power.but trucks are kinda a waste unless you need them all the time..too expensive gas guzzlers

                  Maybe a 2500 depending on what you are hauling.

                      Toyota Tundra if you want mid sized, Ford 250 diesel if you want larger. Look at Edmunds before you start shopping.

                        when you want a truck thats gonna work and pull your house out of the ground, you buy a Ford, theres a reason why 8 out of 10 trucks on a construction site are Fords, not to mention the F-series is the best selling for the last 30 consecutive years. Ford sold 935,000+ F series trucks last year

                                Sure they will. And they will flag you to the IRS too.

                                Go for it.

                                New $2 million+ dollar house, new job, new truck bought in cash......

                                  Ford...I believe they are still using 5.0 engine. Forget about looks.

                                    Yeah, I started thinking about that. Do you have one dealership that carries all the major makes?

                                        no, it's like the dealers on the mainland..... the Dodge people are on the same lot as the Honda people..... Lexus has their own lot.... BMW has their lot... Audi shares with Harley Davidson..... etc...

                                        but there's only one of each. If I don't like the Dodge dealer, I gotta go off island and pay for shipping. Which isn't too big of a deal.... I can ship a car here from Cali for $1k.... if I buy from another island, they'd probly pay for the shipping.

                                          More importantly...Knowing that there are no car manufacturing facilities on Maui.....We know that all of the vehicles sold there have thousands of miles on them already after driving through the tunnel from the mainland.

                                          AMP, you're better off just flying over here, having the pick of the litter from multiple dealers, then driving it back to Maui yourself.

                                            Most dealers make money off financing. Offering to pay cash hardly ever gets you a discount (though they might tell you you're getting one.....). I do all my negotiating before I ever set foot in the showroom - just email the dealers and tell then you want the best drive out price and whomever is the lowest, wins.

                                            F150's look good, but be sure and get the bigger engine. Personally, if I was getting a Ford after having 2 of them which are total POS (Exploder and Ranger), I'd get a diesel which isn't in anything smaller than the 250.

                                              If you want something to last I'd say go with the Ford. The Chevy's and GMC's these days are sadly lacking in the quality control, and tend to have a lot of minor problems that are just annoying as hell. The Dodge's tend to be pricey right off the bat, and they lose a lot more in devaluation then any other truck on the market.

                                              I've had new Chevy's, I've had new Toyota's, and I've had new Ford's. The Ford was the only truck that had zero maintenance other than tires and oil changes.

                                                Sometimes you want the extra kick to avoid stupid drivers

                                                BTW, with the diesel 250 and 350 were/are using the same engine but modified it.

                                                  BTW, with the diesel 250 and 350 were/are using the same engine but modified it.
                                                  the 5.0 has been dead and out of production for years, replaced by the 4.6 and 5.4 and my F350 dually has the V10. The new 6.0 is in the diesels, as opposed to the 7.3

The Chevy's and GMC's these days are sadly lacking in the quality control, and tend to have a lot of minor problems that are just annoying as hell. The Dodge's tend to be pricey right off the bat, and they lose a lot more in devaluation then any other truck on the market.

                                                      I've had new Chevy's, I've had new Toyota's, and I've had new Ford's. The Ford was the only truck that had zero maintenance other than tires and oil changes.


                                                      I've owned Ford. Bought it brand new. Nothing but little maintenance problem the entire time I owned it. Problems with everything from the brakes to the roof rack and even the stock stereo.

                                                      I doubt I will ever buy another Ford.

                                                            which means, I'm definately a Dodge fan...

                                                            but that said, that doesn't mean I automatically will buy another. (Hence, this thread)....

                                                            just looking for a good tough truck that will last for at least 4 or 5 years before it needs trading. Right now, I'd say it's between Dodge, Ford, or Toyota. The Toyotas I know are tough, but they seem small compared to the others.... maybe I'm wrong on that.. which leaves Dodge or Ford.

The Hemi is nothing more than Dodges attempt at reclaiming market share which Ford has held for 25+ years. Dodge in terms of trucks is low man on the totem pole. People blinded by the word Hemi

The Hemi is nothing more than Dodges attempt at reclaiming market share which Ford has held for 25+ years. Dodge in terms of trucks is low man on the totem pole. People blinded by the word Hemi
