    So I had a brand new fully loaded out F-150 king ranch with the 3.0 turbo diesel (over $71k) and it had so many issues in my 46k miles of ownership that I just couldn't take it any longer. I placed a deposit on a 1794 4x4 with TRD package. In all honesty I feel like I'm downgrading because that ford was SOOO nice minus the trash reliability and dealership experience. If the new tundra can get me a few years of headache free ownership, I'll be a happy man and put up with the lack of massaging seats :rofl:

    well other than the constant EGR valve recalls, and an oil leak from new, and a turbo replacement in those first few years, it has been great! lol even with 34's and no air dam I was averaging 21mpg

    Welcome, Alaska Tundra and King Ranch 3.5 duel turbo owner. I guess I haven't noticed your issues on the Ranch but I'm getting older now so when I bought the King I put the 7 year everything warranty on it. The Tundra I didn't feel I needed to. Welcome and enjoy the 1794..
