[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 500573, member: 25383"] I have a short bed 2005 Chevy half ton with the max weight package and four wheel drive. The engine is the 5.3 with the automatic transmission. Gear ratio is 3.42:1. With the short wheel base it rides like a one ton truck! (only real bitch). Gets about 13 to 14 in town, and about 19.5mpg on the highway. Has no rattles or squeaks, and has been back for warranty work one time in six years when the speedometer decided to stay on 70mph. Now I'm kinda shopping for a long bed standard cab truck in a similar layout right now. Going to give this one to my son as a birthday gift (the truck is mint with low miles on it). Looked at Fords and Chevys last weekend, and aside from sticker shock I found a few surprises. Most all Fords carry a 50% content on the sticker, and most all Chevys carried 65% or greater. My truck was built in Indiana, and carries a 93% content on the sticker! I have not looked at a Dodge yet, so I won't comment on them. Forget about me looking at a Toyota, cause it ain't gonna happen. I can get a class A discount on all three of the major brands, so I expect them to all come in close. gary [/QUOTE]
