Driving in Austin is dangerous business.

All I've owned are trucks for almost the past 20 years now. Just not a car guy. I feel weird in cars.

Which truck would you rate as the most reliable? Ford? Chevy? Dodge?

That is such an open ended question with so many variables. Gas or diesel…..1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, or 1 ton....model year or year range...
To give a short answer...if you are buying new then you can't really go wrong with a Ford or Chevy gas engine IMO. Overall I prefer Fords. Right now I have a 2016 F150 Lariat with a 3.5L twin turbo Ecoboost and I love it. I would highly recommend and F150 if you're looking new.
-
With that being said though…I think ford went to a 10 speed transmission on their F150s for 17 or 18...mine has a 6 speed....so I'm not sure what if any issues there may be with that.

Thx. I know nothing about trucks other than they would prove useful during harsh winters and for moving stuff around.

The new F150 with the 10 speed is one slick ride. I prefer NA engines, but the Ecoboost (3.5) is a torque monster and super spirited to drive. The 10 speed is actually a huge improvement IMHO based on driving them both.
For snow you will without a doubt want a 4x4 model- fords aluminum bed means less weight over rear axel without load.
If snow isn't an issue, a RWD truck can be seriously fun [emoji12]
I'm not an American motors guy, but Ford is killing it lately with their models the last couple years. Now if they would just offer the fusion wagon with AWD and three pedals in the US, I'd have a blue badge in the garage.
Sorry for the detail, back to rants

Had a RWD F150 that was a pig in snow but ran forever It was an '86 that had 250k+ when I sold it. It's the only thing I've driven where I didn't feel like I was wedged into a box.
Toyota makes a good small truck, the 4 with turbo. I bought trucks because they were the least expensive drive on the market the small Toyota with all bells and whistles is over 36k
that qualifies as a rant. Chevy and Ford 8's north of 40k with goodies. for a fuckin truck. -

Not in the market for one right now, just something that's on my wishlist. Trucks tend to be cost prohibitive and for practical purposes it's not something I need. I do like F150's though and the Dodge Ram 1500

I’ve had a lot of trucks and the only thing I can say for certain is I don’t like the way that Ford trucks hold up. My old Man always bought fords for our construction business and I was never that thrilled with them after the first year. Their diesels performed much longer than their gas trucks.

No matter what I don't think brown and grey match or go together.

40k? That's not bad. I know guys driving pickups that stickered for over 60k. Texans love trucks, no matter how stupidly expensive. Or how little they'll be used as intended…

unfortunately, in australia, US imported utes (trucks as you americans call it) are really expensive. the price of a f150/250 or dodge ram trucks are typically north of 100k.. even now with locally produced ford closing it's factory, wonder where they'll get the utes that we get here like the ranger and such..
but for you truck people, do look into a HSV Maloo…
-
Truck?
This is what I want and at GBP9,999, I think it's a steal….
-
that's a lorry..
on a serious note, the modern version of that is a common sight in singapore. that vintage one in your link looks really cool. wonder if it's like one of those mini japan lorries..
