As of right now, my wife has her Nissan Sentra (good on gas, not for any terrain besides hard and flat) and I have my Jeep Wrangler (bad on gas, I can take it anywhere). I am leaving active duty in about eight months and we will be looking to buy a new vehicle sometime within the next 14-18 months. We are going to buy a pickup truck.
We need something that is reasonable on gas, but we aren't getting rid of her Sentra, so it's not as high a priority as other factors. For instance, we need the largest size cab for kids or other family. Crew Cab? King Cab? Whatever it's called.
So what do you guys think, brand-wise? Ford? Dodge? Chevy? Foreign? So far we are thinking Ford F-150. Father in law has one and it's done great by him. I also like that Ford didn't take the bailout.
I need something that will work it's ass off, chew up most terrain (I know I'm not climbing rocks like a Jeep) and have plenty of room in the cab and the bed.
