    I just traded in my 16 f150 3.5 eco for a 21 trd pro. I wish the pro had The back up camera with path projection, blind spot monitoring, parking sensors, and electric folding mirrors my f150 had but the Toyota is better in every other way IMO.

    As far as reliability go, I bought mine brand new and day 2 had an electrical issue they still can’t figure out, including the regional guy. It’s eligible for lemon law but I’m trying to avoid doing that because of how much I like the truck. So maybe mine is the “one in a million” which is about my luck but who knows.

    also resale of these are insanely high. Higher than I paid new.

    Finally, to reaffirm my decision I tested a raptor. Liked my pro so much more I told the salesman there was no need to even go inside to talk numbers because it wasn’t close.

    good luck with your decision. I feel I made the right one.

    Before starting a new thread I found a 2018 with 43K miles but it says the PCM was reprogrammed in 2019 at 15K miles. Is this a potential issue or probably just an update?

    Welcome to the forum. I hope you've gotten the answers you were looking for. I don't have anything substantial to add, but how many million mile Fords are out there, that were bought new in 2006 or later? There are about a half dozen Tundras. That reliability is what sold me, and I really don't see anything missing from my Tundra that I would really use.

    Just a HUGE thanks all, most of my questions have been answered. I am still researching and getting my blood pressure up from looking at truck prices and deciding which way to go and I think I will just keep searching until the right deal comes along.
