i am def not a fan of ford trucks... i drove my cousins 06 crew cab and it had the 4.6 that thing could not even spin the tires... lol but i know the 5.4 is a diff story ive driven those and they seem to have some actual power and torque... as far as the seats go im sorry those seats suck in the fords king ranch or not!!! im not bashing just stating my opinion, your truck looks good with the leveling kit btw.
z71 or 2wd? z71 i would understand but a 2wd chevy is a diff story.

Interior wise I've always found the fords more roomy, but the seats come down to the person. Honestly I liked the older body GM trucks much better. The new one is but ugly to me. The older one was perfect.

Guess they had to GM released their 6.2L L9H for the half ton, mid 2009.
Did test drive a Raptor, thought it was nice, just a little to busy for me. Had the 5.4 in it, couldn't find one with a 6.2.
Out of the 3 Chevy just seems to have the simple look I like. More than likely I'll just keep my z71, throw a lift on it (non rubbing 35's is all I need without having the torsions maxed out) and get a 2011 z28 next year. Truck will be paid off in a few months.

oh yeah the raptors are pretty sick, i have not seen them inside yet but the design of the truck and the fenders look sick! that would be tight if chevy came out with a concept like that...
