Some of you guys have been watching WAY too many truck commercials. Today I’m going to put on my flannel and haul 2,000 lbs of rock up the side of this mountain! Lol. Or just talking out of your collective arses without any personal experience. The Tundra is an excellent truck and a fine choice. But the F150 is as well, and most of you appear to be either regurgitating crap you’ve read online or based on negative experience with your 1985 Fiesta.

I’ve owned two recent F150s, one with the 5.0 and one with the Ecoboost. The EB is far superior when towing, otherwise I’d go with the 5.0. Comparing between the trucks I actually got better MPG with the 5.0 and it sounds better. Both were owned for an extended period of time out of warranty without any major issue. The only problem of note was a burned out cooling fan on my EB at about 80k that became an issue when towing on a 100+ day through hilly terrain. I also had an exhaust manifold bolt break on the EB just prior to sale which created a slight tick, because the truck was already sold I paid about $900 to just have it fixed at a shop. Neither left me stranded, and both held their value very well. They also held up well from an assembly standpoint, I sold both with just under 100k and they were still nice and tight, with minimal wear inside. My current truck is a 2008 F250 with about 85k, over the 20k I’ve owned it my only required repair was two coolant hoses that were seeping. That’s it. So feel free to buy a Toyota, but don’t do it based upon biased or incorrect information.
