Yea in BLM mud a megacab is a stuck pig. But all that weight comes in handy pulling half tons out of the ditch as long as you keep it up on the level ground.You aren't kidding there. They'll sink on blacktop. I have a 2011 megacab with 160K on it. I've had it deleted, need new ball joints, also need the universal joints changed although they "appear" to still be solid. Better safe than sorry. I had to replace sensors on the DPF and EGR system pretty much as often as changing the oil in it before the delete. After, it has been great. Also had to replace to fuel rail pressure sensor which wasn't cheap. Overall though, it has been a decent truck. I'll probably go back to 1/2 ton for my next truck in a few years though. I'll keep this one for any heavy tows around the house, but it's western trip days are pretty much over.
thanks for all of the input. I used to have a shop I could go to and ask about various vehicle and what to stay away fromI wouldn't trade my dodge for even a brand new one,,maybe my Toyota will only live about 100 k more or so,,i will buy another Toyota when I have to,,maybe a 2004 or so with a 4.0 v-6.
Background for my truck.... 2005 Silverado
The main things I require is 4wd, crew cab/ possibly double cab and capable of towing 8000lbs a few times a year without wearing itself out. 1/2 ton is nice for ride quality and fuel efficiency.
If you're going to be towing 8k pounds, you should consider something 3/4 ton'ish. That's a lot, even for the trucks of today. But don't let all the electronics scare you. The only vehicle I've had with electronics issues was my 04 Chevy. And it was constant.
I've had Ford ( a lot), Chev, Dodge, and Toyota fullsized trucks. My last one being a Ram 1500. I liked it the best out of all of them. Current is a Ford and next will be back into a Ram.
i must be the only one on this board that bought a randymobile - 2014 titan pro4x
Will anyone admit to owning a Honda? Some of the new ones actually look like trucks.
As far as ground clearance if they have a solid rear axle the clearance is going to be about the same on any truck due to the rear diff.
