On this special day, as we honor the contributions and sacrifices of our veterans, let’s take a moment to dive into a fun yet meaningful discussion: If you could choose a different truck besides the one you currently own, which one would it be?

Whether it's for its rugged durability, off-road capability, or simply its iconic style, trucks have always been a symbol of strength and resilience—values deeply tied to the spirit of our veterans. So, let’s hear it: Which truck would you pick and why?

And for those who aren’t veterans, we’d still love to hear your opinions—every perspective is welcome!

Let’s celebrate this day together by honoring our veterans and sharing our passion for trucks!
This one! Oh, wait, I already one one, LOL

I had a diesel Colorado Z71, which I traded in for this Gladiator after only 6 years because I was afraid the emissions system was going to fail at any moment. That's it. Almost everything about that truck was superior to the Gladiator, if I'm being honest.

In answer to the original OP question, I'd take a Colorado Bison or Ranger Raptor if the price was right-- whichever one still allows Android Auto. If neither, then any number of other midsize trucks over the next few years if I can avoid twin turbo engines somehow.

Solid axles and a actual transfer case with a lever to engage it... I'm old and stuck in my ways. My opinion of most other vehicles isn't that high if a full size Dodge or F250 but I don't have the need for that size really. Manual hubs are a plus too.
