hunting vehicle

free market baby, capitalism wins, you want people to buy your products-make quality count

I've been driving F150's for ten years at 75,000 kms per year and trading at 150,000.

I've never had a problem. 100% reliable and I wouldn't drive an import truck.

I don't even know girls that would
 
what is your hunting vehicle? I'm looking for some ideas as I currently own a 5yo screw150 and it's the biggest POS I've ever own. cheers :)

Deciphering that jargon, I assume you have a 2012 Ford F150 Super Crew? Start with tires, BF Goodrich At's or Mt's.

Airplanes suck for shooting out of or scouting, as it's illegal, not to mention they're crazy expensive if you're using them for personal hunting.
Argo's are slow and rough and get stuck on stumps and in thick mud.
Quads and side x sides will kill you on repair bills.

So we're back to the cheapest option........get better tires, your F150 is just fine. :)
 
While I'm no great hunter a while back I picked up a 2016 Nissan Frontier, cheapest do everything truck out there these days. Made like a tank, but not too fancy on the inside of that's your thing. A new Frontier was thousands cheaper than any of the competitors once you started adding all the features/packages required to make them kitted out the near equally.

I got the SV 4x4 because I didn't need the extra ground clearance and rear locker that the PRO4X gives.... but a PRO4x is still thousands cheaper than a Tacoma TRD. I just gave up on the Colorado/Canyon based on the new design and crazy prices they want for them, maybe in a year or two the Z71 will be $10,000 off the asking price.
 
cudos to you and congrats on a well made truck, one question though, your annual fuel consumption compare to let's say a Tundra? i would guesstimate you spend about 1/5 1/6 more on gas ;)

I only had Chevy trucks, purchased used at +100k kms with not too many problems. For some reason I've decided to switch to F150 and had nothing but problems. Every 2 weeks something happens. As reliable as Lada I guess.

I have brand new winter tires but that is not a problem. Every 2 weeks I go to the dealer with some new problem. Had transmission re-flashed, battery changed, U joint issues, front axle leak, ps rack replaced, ps gear box leak fixed 3 times and looks like the sky is the limit. This happened in the last 4 months.
 
Amazing the horrific experiences all these guys have with trucks. We've run fords, chevies, dodges, and toyotas into the utter ground as company trucks in the north and they're all comparable. The dodge half ton blew its transmission at 80,000 and the dodge 3/4 ton it's rear end. But this is severe, severe use all the trucks are toast at 100,000, or should be. Our Chevy has air bags which was a stupid call and keeps popping them, not really the truck's fault, also have had one of the Chevy plastic radiator inlet / outlets break.
 
Reading on Forbes, the most domestic made vehicle is a Toyota Camry, just cuz' it's assembled in the states doesn't mean that all the components originate there.

Personally I like my Tacoma. If I had a different vehicle to go out hunting it would be either a 98 Chev 1500 or a 96 regular cab F-150.

That's because you are a "chevy driver". If you were a dyed-in-the-wool Ford man, these would be non-issues, trouble-free :nest:
