2022 Tundra vs 2022 F-150 opinion?

Yes, correct.

Out of 100 it's:
58.5% Domestic Stock
31.5% International Stock
10% Bonds

 

Very few people will pick stocks over the course of 20-30 years that will beat the S&P500.

 

To add to this, very few financial advisers earn their client enough to even cover their fees.

 

Honestly, service was a big factor in my decision as well. I even had an F-150 on order, but ultimately, the dealerships were further away and years of experience with my local Toyota dealerships made me not really want to have to restart that trust all over again.

The two QC issues I had with my Tundra were resolved without any pushback: loose window trim and the steering wheel leather being kind of loose on the backside of the steering wheel. Honestly, the steering wheel thing wasn't even a big deal but I just figured for how much the truck costs, it should be correct, and the dealership agreed and I got an entirely brand new steering wheel for free. Window trim was also a brand new part. All good since then.

 

Our kid's outdoor field hockey practice always has 3-5 late model F150s scattered around the lot for his session. One coach owns a nice GMC. His coach drives a Gen 2.5 Tundra TRD Pro. One other assistant has an old Ram.

F150 outnumbers them all and is the clear hands down choice of tired suburban Soccer Dads.

 

My kid is 2 so his soccer team only has like 6-8 kids, I'm not even the only dad with an F-150 Tremor.

 

Society has beat down men so much, they can only celebrate their "toxicity" through the vehicle they buy. Thus all the lifts, giant tires, shiny never scratched TRD skid plates to show they might get it dirty on a dirt road some day if they want to. It is the same in the Wrangler and Harley Davidson owner world too.

I think Eurodriver is the only one that uses his truck as a truck.

 

I probably never would have been a pickup guy. But once upon a time my parents offered to use my college fund to get me a cheap used vehicle for college since I won a scholarship. They came up with the bright idea to put me in a reg cab 4 cyl 95 Ranger. I couldn't go that fast, could't carry a bunch of people, I could afford the gas and they could take it back any time they needed the bed for something.

Haven't been without a truck in the nearly 30 years since. Only car I owned was my Challenger RT for a few years alongside my 09 Crewmax and it barely got driven.

My Mom is not a truck person at all and has gone on and on about how big my last 2 pickups were and I always have to remind her she got me started.

 

TBF, there is a lot more to "using a truck as a truck" than offroading. And there are a lot better choices for vehicles to offroad than a full size truck.

 

this^, I like to use my truck for all kinds of stuff, towing, hauling, home improvement, etc.

I just don't off-road more than gravel roads to fish or get to my fishing resort, lol.

That said, even if I did, it certainly would not be in a 70K full-size platinum tundra or any other full-size for that matter, but to each his own

 

What is a woman ? Just tuck peter and be a champion swimmer when you're getting last place against other men.

 

I have a truck because it's hard to put 1500 pounds of playsand/mulch/gravel in an SUV, it's hard to tow 7000# with a minivan. I have AllTerrains to get to my hunting spots and muddy jobsites. I do have 35" tires because of my toxic masculinity as per @cmiles97 apt psychoanalysis.

 

Love 4Runner but can only afford one vehicle and it's hard to beat an open bed !

Edit: Could save a nice chunk on brand new 2024 4Runner so it's tempting.

 

we didnt need more pics of your found on "off-road" dead

 

I figured you needed some fresh material for the spank bank.

 

back at ya

 

Nice squat depth but you could work on your ankle mobility.

 

lol, will do.

Im getting old

 

They say these are tougher ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Xgc02T2Dw

 

I'm knocking on 40 in a couple years myself, it doesn't get easier.

Edit: a year, dammit.

 

ya, I have a decade on ya, lol.

and no its gets harder all the time, its a logarithmic scale, all the sudden the ramp is steeper, HA

 

Thanks for the proof. You could easily ford (pun intended) that with 19s. Show us a pic actually using the 37s. Otherwise you did it for looks, just admit it. The lift, giant tires for appearance remind me of men putting lifts in their boots in the 70s to look taller and guys wearing obvious hair piece when bald. Same concept.

Yep you need 37s to go to hunting spots. They struggle but do it with tiny tires and underpowered motors and also these jeeps older than you. SMH.

I don't think he has 37"s ?

 

Technically they are not even 35s, they are 285/75R18s which works out to a 34.8". Skinny tires do better in (almost) every situation offroad as evidenced in the video posted above by @cmiles97 (but he already knew that).

 

ya thats what I thought, I don't see the big deal, hell thats not all that much larger than my 33"s

 

See you are tall and have hair without aid. Be proud, except for owning a Ford. I saw a new put down acronym from a mechanic. Fixing Our Recalls Daily.

 

here lets get this back on track

I'm 5'7" and lost all my hair when I was 27. It grew back but I still keep it buzzed because I'm lazy. But ya, pretty confident in who I am and where I am in life. Ford included.

 

Ford reported a net income of $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2024

thats stupid, guess they will just jack the price of the F-150s so those suckers can pay for Fords shitty quality and EV messes.
