Question
hello ray,
 
 i am looking to buy a truck sometime soon but i don't know what i should get. im in between GMC and Ford. Would you be able to tell me which is better or if there is a difference and whether i should buy one new or used.

Answer
Hey Joe

I worked for GMC for many years, good trucks, but I must be honest, without going into long detail, FORD has got the best trucks on the market today.

Forget new, your best buys will be end of lease trucks 2 to 3 years old, it's a slow market with trucks at the moment so you should be able to pick up a good deal.

When you find something you really like, provide a link, and I will provide you with some observations

good Luck
 Ray

PS... stay away from work trucks
