I also listen to our tech's who are in and out of these vehicles daily.
...and all our drivers who haul trailers cross country for a living. Those know what lasts and what doesn't.
None of them would ever think about pulling with a Chevy.
I'm basing my opinion on the last 6 or 7 years of listening to annoying customers either praise their vehicles or and moan about them. People inherently love to talk themselves up. You know....everyone's the smartest mother er out there. Everyone got the best deal possible...or the deal of a lifetime. Or better ing yet some old man owned it and his wife died so he let it go for next to nothing. Steal of the ing century :vomitrolleyes:. So I know when I hear the same know it all assholes tell me about their bad experiences I usually take it to heart because its tough for so many smart intelligent perfect people to admit when they've invested in a pile of .
Its also a good gauge of quality because the majority of my customers put their trucks on the road frequently. Some full time others take regular road trips so you get a good indication of what can last and what can't.

Honda, just because it's more fuel efficient.
No the Sierra Denali.
This.

I doubt the Honda is that much more fuel efficient than the Tundra. Obviously many factors here but...One thing that I found particularly interesting is how much the Chevy and Fords dropped in fuel mileage while in tow compared to the Tundra. The majority of my customers complained about the inflated advertised fuel mileage on the Chevy's too begin with. Seems as though they advertise up around 20mpg when my customers are telling me its more like 15 and 8 or 9 in tow. Where I'm hearing the Tundra crowd claim 19-22mpg and 16-17 in tow.
What's the Honda rated at? 23? 24? 25? With 5 people and a load of luggage how's it going to react? I know how the Tundra will.
Plus you won't look like a pansy ass driving a ing gay ass grocery getter.
I dunno about that. I've got 160K on my 2500HD 4X4 with the 6.0 and have had zero issues except for starter/alternator once and A/C compressor @ about 150K. Haven't even had to do a brake job yet (ceramic pads). I like it.
I admit gas mileage sucks. I chipped it to about 380hp and it gets about 15 if I keep my foot out of it. It goes to 10 real quick if I start rompin and stompin it.

I'm a honda person myself.. but that's all I've ever owned lol.. for a truck though I love the new tundras. If I didn't buy a new duramax it would of been a new tundra.. white tundra on 20 inch volks
160k is pretty good. Seems like almost all over my customers go through at least some type of massive repair around the 110k mark. I hear a lot about rebuilt transmissions and its almost always hovering around the 100k line.
I change trans fluid and filter every 25-30K. It's a solid trans, you just have to take care of it.
No doubt something as simple as changing the fluid typically goes overlooked. I'd suspect the larger majority of auto owners never change their transmission fluid.
