Tundra VRS F-150- Need a new truck.

[jackelope]

People care way too much about this if you ask me. It comes down to a brand thing. There aren’t any current bad trucks. They’re kinda like bows if you ask me. Go drive a few and buy the one you like the best. They’re all good and occasionally there’s a bad one.  I personally don’t care a lot about resale. My last Chevy truck i owned for 10 years. I traded it in on a new explorer for my wife.  It had 250k miles on it.  Resale was minimal at best and I was ok with that. Currently own a 2006 Jeep I bought mostly new. It’s got 185k miles on it. Again, resale won’t matter as it will be totally sacked out when I’m done with it.
Here’s a fact. At some point someone is going to get a bad Chevy/Ford/Toyota/Dodge/whatever and it’s going to have problems. Fact. That’s why there are service departments and warranties and trained technicians. They’re machines. They’ll break.

Casey- I don’t think I’ll buy a Chevy only because I think they’re ugly. I really like the look of the F150 and working for Ford, I would get a smoking deal on one. If I still worked for Dodge I’d probably buy a Dodge.

Is there a possible "Ford truck: Bulk buy" thread in the future like the smoker pellets and Benchmark barrel bulk buys???

Buy it, drive it, repeat!!

Yeah only makes sense to buy what you get the best deal on.

I could probably pull something together, but that would mean I’d have to deal with salespeople and I don’t want to do that.

Sales-weazels can be fun to play with...

I’ve posted plenty of reasons why Toyota is the most overrated vehicle on the road.
Most owners are in love with the styling and ignore the many shortcomings.
Toyota trucks have some pretty glaring flaws.  Search frame rust and bed rust, among others.
After driving a Tacoma for 9 years, my F150 is superior in every way.

Every way except for resale...

Yup.
That’s the only reason I bought a Toy.
It’s called ‘Greater Fool Theory ‘.
I didn’t see any posts about Toy rear leaf springs recall.
Might want to do a search for that.
Spend a few minutes in the Tacomaworld forums.
Bumpers rusted through is common.
Fuel door rusted off is another.
That Bellevue Toy dealer is so desperate to compete, they’ll tell you F150s require premium fuel(they don’t).

No frame or bed rust on any of my Toyota trucks that I have had. Been driving a Toyota truck since 1994. My last Tundra did have a recall out for potential frame rust. Took it into the stealership and it checked out with no issue. Imagine that no rust. There's a reason Toyota trucks have a great reputation for reliability and their resale value is as good as it gets. If they were junk then they woudn't be so highly regarded.

Toyota has a recall.
Ford does not.
Do you know why?

The poeple that think the 5.7 has loads of power will have their minds blown driving a 3.5L eco-boost.  Ford is ahead of the curb as far as trucks go, the big V8's are a dying bread with the EPA restrictions rolling out.  All manufactures sooner of later (more sooner) are gonna have smaller engines and aluminum body panels, you are already seening it with Chevy and Jeep.

I've owned three Tacomas with none of these issues. The current one is a 2001. Maintenance costs have been exceptionally low.

[CoryTDF]

I have never owned any truck that was not a Toy. My Tundra was a great truck for me but these unfortunate circumstances have forced me to go shopping. Now that I HAVE to shop I figured I would look for the best truck suited for my needs and with enough power and tow rating to safely tow my trailer.

I've had a recent model Tundra and been in the new F150 several times. The Ford is much nicer and that 3.5... damn! Long term reliability and resale, can't beat Toyota.

Tundra, hands down. I know people are excited by Ford's new engine, and it's power, but lets see that engine at 200,000 miles. My Tundra still has the same power are torque it did when new, and has zero frame rust or squeaks or rattles.....at 237K! Never seen any other make of truck that has that long term quality.

Plenty of them out there with 200k miles on them. Ecoboost is not a "new" engine. Been out since 2011 now. Only a few years less than the 5.7 Toyota engine.
