Best stock truck

[schmalts]

SR5 Tundra with the TRD offroad package.

Get the limited with ventilated seats though. You'll thank me later.

But 21 and older. Not the new 6cyl pile

What's the best bang for your buck stock 1/2 ton truck as far as driving in snow, mud, typical crappy conditions we see in the mountains? Not looks or electronics, just get you from point a to b most reliably with no aftermarket upgrades other than maybe tires.

I have a 2023 F150 Tremor I got used for $52k (with gen 2 deck system and leer canopy). It does pretty darn well.

My 2013 stock 4Runner goes a lot of places too.

I can't wrap my head around paying about half what I built my house for to buy a truck. Just me. mtmuley

I don’t know how you could get better than this gem. I’d entertain offers via dm. But, I know what I have so don’t lowball me.

Can confirm. Ultra stealthy road hunting rig.

Gonna, more than likely go ford next time. Hard pill to swallow as a chevy guy. But the aluminum body makes more sense here with the rust, tired of it.

I saw a new FWP truck out and about the other day, and they’re getting the bare bones F250 XL in a gas V8, with the off road package. You can still get that with a 4.30 rear axle with a selectable locker. There’s a damn good chance that something like that will be my next truck, it makes a lot of sense. Basic but capable.

Special order for a service truck? mtmuley

I think you would just about have to special order, but it might be worth it. It’s impossible to find basic work trucks on a dealer lot.

Looking online you can build one with those exact options.

I bought a used 2024 Nissan Titan Pro4x base model. Doesn't have any of the sunroof or upgraded stereo or heater/cooled anything. No turbos, no auto stop/start, no cylinder deactivation just a 400hp v8. Locker and off-road package and nothing I don't need or hasn't been proven. I beat the shit out of my last Titan for 200k miles with zero issues(and I hit a moose with it) and this one has been perfect for the first 35k miles. And they're cheaper than other full-size

Yup the xl package used to be an ugly stripped down fleet truck. Saw one the other day that had more than I need for options.

I was just looking at the Nissan compacts for my oldest. Seem a lot cheaper than others in the same year mileage?

Obviously the recall was a huge red flag but now that they've worked out the production kinks, it appears that the new engine is doing just fine. Time will tell if it's anywhere close to the legendary 4.7 and 5.7, I think that's a really big ask, but I would bet they still end up being 200-300k mile engines. Turbos are a big headache and something just feels wrong about not having a v8 in a half ton, but I don't see it being any worse than what Detroit is putting out.

Th one you can afford...

 

[geetar]

F150 with the 5.0 engine.

 

[mtmiller]

My ‘16 Tundra 5.7 is still treating me well. Tonight will be #580 sleeping in the back seat and we will hit 205,000 sometime tomorrow. Nice piece of BLM just outside of Roundup. Close enough to town that the current administration might want to give it away.

Crossed 50k in my 2022 a few weeks back. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
