2022 Tundra vs 2022 F-150 opinion?

illinois is hard. They only deal with instate folks most the time. I have some TN and MI connections. Where I bought my pro is the best place to purchase. Emailed the spec sheet, no deposit required, docu signed everything but one wet notary signature for odometer statement .

 

there are a couple dealers here who do MSRP, Im more waiting to see if the 2023 is cleaner build.

I have seen more and more recalls and TSBs for things, which is good, the list is getting smaller. I saw the air suspension TSB is out now too for the bottoming out. I think the turbo fiasco is over, so Im getting down to the fuel gauge and the wind noise

 

I have zero recall notices on mine and no wind noise. It's about the same as my lightning which has laminated glass up front.

 

good to hear, Im getting close to being comfortable pulling trigger on 2023 model, if I can find one.

I also have all the color matching BS to do so Im not sure a dealer will even play ball with that.

 

i wish I had a money tree like you have. My situation is maximize the miles from the old beasts. I'd love to get better MPG, but it always comes back to the saying "If it works, don't try to fix it." The old beasts V8 4Runners and the 5.7l do everything asked. I like to look around, see if I can upgrade, but I can't justify moving on from the old reliables.

 

Not quite - GM is still offering 0% financing for 36 months on Sierras. I could have paid cash but since they were offering free money I took advantage.

And despite this fact, I have *NEVER* gotten as many compliments on ANY other truck like I have the one I own now. *shrug*

This is why truck purchases come down to many different factors; and I'd submit to many people that probably the vast majority of people buy vehicles for different reasons than they should.

I bought a '13 F150 in '13; and traded it in on my '20 Tundra in March of 2020. I did so because it had proven to me time and time again it wasn't reliable (nor were the dealerships).

For me, reliability is paramount, and the 2.5 gen were the most reliable trucks out there, statistically. Granted, they don't get the best mileage, they're not the fastest, and they don't have the most payload.

But, I don't drive the truck that far on a daily basis; I didn't buy it for speed, and it can MORE than handle my '14 flatbed trailer and the occasional 18' camper.

Would I recommend it to people who have needs greater than my own? Probably not, but I constantly get told reasons *OTHER* than those most important to me as the reason I should not have bought one.

BTW - I've owned the last 3 trucks I've owned for 7, 11 and 9 years...so I am indeed one of those who owns their trucks for quite a long time.

 

If I could buy a 2021 lunar rock pro for what I bought mine for originally I would. But I paid less for my 22 pro than the two 21 lunar rock pros for sale in my town.

 

Wow.

I think the 2.5 gen LRs will hold inflated value for a long time. The gen ended after the 1st year, so the only 2.5s in LR are Pros.

 

Are you saying that because you want to sell the 2021 for a profit..... or,
because you have been there done that, and would just prefer the 2021 now?
Just asking

 

This is all I need to know about the F-150 vs other trucks.

 

Lightning is dropped off at the dealer, they can pay it off but can't cut the equity check until plates arrive.

Stopped at in n out and heard a rattle in the pro. Time to order a BAP platinum from granger...........good night

 

This is the way.

 

Man, I bet when you do the math with car flipping, you're making about $6.76 an hour!

 

Eh it’s more the thrill of the hunt and getting to try one each se what it’s about. The window to try everything out and make money is closing.

 

Platinum PowerBoost BAP looks like a FANTASTIC truck. Have to say, it may have jumped into the top spot for “if I had to buy a new ICE truck tomorrow” category.

Looking forward to reading how you like it. Good luck!

 

I saw one in person the other day getting the lightning appraised. It's a nice ass truck. But I'm sticking with the pro until raptor comes. Only thing I would dump the pro for is the 23 CRV or 23 Pilot if they are a good revision.

 

It might be rated to pull 15k but it’s just not enough power with the gasser if there are hills. I wouldn’t recommend towing more than 10k consistently with a GMC gasser unless it’s flat everywhere you go. Literally had mine floored going up Teton pass hauling 8k, couldn’t even hold 40mph. The 6.6 GM gasser basically feels like the same power as my Tundra 5.7 did. Although on the plus side my transmission was barely over 200F and I had plenty of my 3,500lbs of payload leftover.

 

I really don’t get all the GM seat hate. I have driven my GMC HD 2500 800 miles in a day and felt great afterwards. Even back-to-back days totaling about 1,200 miles. It is by far the most comfortable long ride seat I’ve owned, definitely better than my 2016 Platinum Tundra was.

 

You're a brave soul. Both my yukon and Tahoe I could feel the seat and lane keep reminders on top of how stiff and non conforming they were. Test drove a 21 AT4 and it was dejavu

 

For you Gen 2 lovers lol. I priced the old 21 TRD pro vs my new 22 TRD pro.

 

Please don't take this the wrong cause I am totally curious. Do you maybe just have a "fat ass" and just have more cushion?? My ass is pretty bony/skinny and those seats are just flat out horrible to me. Like sitting on a 2x12 board

 

I’m down 60-70 pounds since I owned the Yukon and Tahoe and drove the at4 so I can attest that as a large man it was uncomfortable.

my wife is small af and she said they were uncomfortable and she never complains

 

This is pretty wild. I tried to test their quote feature out too for kicks and giggles and felt something wasn’t working right. They offered me $57k for my 2022 Pro with 2500 miles. Not that it’s super relevant when I had a dealership offer to purchase at $75k.

 

This is facts for many cars right now.

My son is about to driving age

Looking at slightly used Civic, they're more than new!
The local Honda dealership wants $25.5k for a manual transmission hatchback, 2018 with 46k miles. Worst part is it looks like dirty Mike and da boys turned the interior into a soup kitchen and the dealership couldn't even be bothered for a courtesy wipe! This car was $21k max 4 years ago.....

What the heck?

 

I was given a Yukon XL Denali with the 6.2L as a rental for a business trip out of state a while back, and the seats felt fine, but the stupid proximity and lane departure sensors went nuts the whole time. Like buzzing my seat for no apparent reason. Buzzing in a drive-thru. Buzzing when someone would pass me or when I'd pass someone else.

Peppy engine, loved the 10 speed, had lots of options, etc but the amount of buzzing I got in that seat and the incessantly rattling interior (at only 19k miles) made me very happy to see my Tundra again when I got home.

I've never felt uncomfortable in a vehicle seat, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask anyway...

 

Can that stuff be turned off?

 

Good question. Maybe...??? If so, I wonder if you have to turn it off every time you start the vehicle...

 

Makes sense. All that extra weight and only 20 more hp than the Tundra.

So the Tundra would also be doing 40mph over passes in Wyoming? Just kinda curious because I had been considering trading in my Lexus GX for either an LX570 or Land Cruiser with the 5.7L to tow my 5500 lb travel trailer. I am in UT at 6500'. Neither the GX or LC/LX are ideal tow vehicles but my major hangup with the GX is lack of power with the 4.6L. It does ok but towing on the open freeway like I-80 or I-15 wouldnt be all that fun.

 

Damn....So I was gonna list my 2021 Platinum for $70k after I put the s/c on but your saying I could make an easy $15k just trading it in? lol I only paid $56k for it with 3500 miles

Edit: lol ok no, they'll only give me your price $48,384
