    that’s fair, but you’re not in the majority here. For business reasons (partner in my firm), I have to get a new truck every few years for tax purposes.

    Hilarious! Love to see it. I know this sounds bad, but I’m pretty excited to see the Toyota fanboys on here complain of issues/recalls re their beloved QDR

    My plan is to go drive one when the time comes that way I can directly compare the yota to the Ford. and also the GMC 6.2 because, well, big V8s me likes, dont care if they are a little slower or less MPG. put a pipe on there and it fuckin will rumble with that displacement .

    so then get a less reliable domestic and get a new one every couple of years before it has problems?

    cool so you want people to have problems with their tundras just to excite your child-like mind. cool bro. go sell your tundra now and buy an f150 and be done with it. wtf is the point of posting some dumbass shit like this?

    Man so much ford bashing on here, your always going to find a bad apple or bad design with any make our model I don't care what it is, Toyota is no exception. Arguing this will get you no where, I mean come on we are still dealing with cam tower leak on the tundra and Tacoma frame rust still into the second gen models now. So is Toyota junk?

    I have many friends and co workers with ford trucks, they are popular in my area because the Ford plant used to be here. I had more issues with my 17' tundra they then did. So you can go in circles trying to cast one as better then the other.

    I'm with the those who are not excited about a ttv6, especially a motor designed for Lexus cars being re hashed as a truck motor. They want something ground breaking them come out with a motor built from the ground up as a truck motor. I'm also not excited about the coil rear suspension... Yes it rides better... Vehicles with coil rears that tow just equal sagging and squat in the rear. Airbags could solve it but now we are introducing another component to fail later on.

    I did too. Never owned a domestic in my life prior to this 21 Powerboost. Finally realized I was paying a huge premium for their marketing department covering for outdated R&D.

    nope i just dont memorize the vehicle history of every single member on here. If you got rid of your tundra and got a ford, why stay here to say stupid shit like hoping tundras have recalls and quality issues so you feel better about yourself for buying something different?

    Man, so many Ford defenders on here feel the need to get their panties in a knot if you point out that Ford's reliability isn't that good. Sorry some of us want to keep our trucks for 15+ years with a lower probability of having issues...? :notsure:

    If I had that mentality I would 100% choose a Tundra. But for me personally, life is too short to drive 1 car for a fifth of my life lol. Thus why I buy every 2-3. If that.

    That's great. You do you. Just don't think you're better than me because we have different priorities.

    I don’t see really any Ford defenders on here. Mostly a bunch of Toyota guys on here getting nervous Bc the f150 is better than the tundra in every possible way besides “reliability in 5-10 years”

    I’ve owned 4 Toyota’s and two tundra in my life. They’re good trucks, but lack in a lot of ways. If you keep your truck 10-15 years at a time that’s awesome!

    I wish I could, but cannot, and even if I said I was, I wouldn’t. A vehicle is a depreciating pile of metal.

    Congrats on your new truck. Looks very nice...for a Ford ;). Have tried-out the generator yet? Do you think that feature is worthwhile?

    lol. Hey bud, I’ve been on here since 2017. I’ve owned two tundras, and now own a powerboost f150. All the Toyota wing nuts come out of the woodwork when they get scared they’re buying an outdated truck at a premium price— so they bash Ford Bc “it’s trash, and will break down”

    My comment was only to show that even the venerable Toyota brand isn’t immune to issues.

    I did try the generator a couple days ago. Hit the mountains, and recharged my e-bikes, phones, traeger grille. I don’t think I even own powerful enough tools to make it really work. I got the 7.2 and it’s a monster

    Cool. I think it is certainly an interesting feature that other mfrs. should also consider..although I also get we can throw a gas-powered portable generator in the bed.
    Thx.

    What made you pick the V6 over the V8. If I find a good deal on an F150 I'd buy it. My Lariat sport was a pretty amazing drive. The one I drove had some quality issues but honestly, everything I've driven has had something. If I got one, to me, I would have to get the 5.0.

    The current Gen coyote 5.0 is an oil consuming pile of crap. It’s not like the previous Gen 5.0’s. I’d go ecoboost these days if I had to choose between the two.

    Everyone buys their 1/2 tons for different reasons. "Most" of the Toyota owners want the dependability/reliability that is typical from Toyota. Most 1/2 ton buyers for the Big 3 purchase either from brand loyalty, or to have the newest and latest/greatest widget that they've come up with. Nothing wrong with either choice but it's not even a close comparison between any of the Big 3 with Toyota for quality control/reliability, even in the short term. If you want massaging chairs, electric shifting dials, wifi, etc then you will always need to go domestic. Toyota simply bypasses those things unless/until they can try to eliminate most/all of the bugs in newer technology. This ensures that they'll seldom be first in anything, but they get it right far more often once they incorporate it. In comparison, the domestics refresh their vehicles so often that everything they do is rushed out and generally poorly built.

    We can pull stats for hours but at the end of the day Toyota's have far greater resale/trade value for a reason.

    ya but hauling around a 7Kw gas generator and all teh fuel and having to refill it isn't anything like Fords system, you can use the truck gas tank, it automatically starts the truck to recharge, WAY quieter and nothing extra to haul around.

    my hats off to Ford, thats a awesome system, soemthing like that makes it not such a hard pill to swallow in giving up our large v8s, if you get kick ass stuff like that in teh trade to the hybrid then ok it makes it easier.

    I would love the thing for job sites, vacations, even at home doing shit as I work out of my truck tailgate all the time. would love that much backup for my Cpap machine too when I go on trips to remote cabins, etc. for now I have a smaller portable one but darn it would be awesome to not have to worry about any of that crap.

    its honestly one of the reasons to even consider a Ford for me. I was kicking around something like just lease the Ford shorter term and sell my current tundra outright and pocket most of the cash as well. But I haven't even started researching a lease like that, never leased before. Ill figure it later when Toyota shows us what they got.

    Throw on that multi-function GMC tailgate and you've got all the bases covered! Edit Post: Wait, maybe it is blasphemy to add GMC parts to a Ford...or didn't AMC do something like that years ago?...I digress.

    I wasn't scared that I was buying an outdated truck. I KNEW I was buying an outdated truck. Outdated was the appeal. Cause it's gonna last. Simple, old, reliable tech. boring. antiquated. inefficient.

    And it still will be in 10 years when I trade it in.

    You bought a 21 f150 in the first year of a new design. Dude, I wouldn't buy the next Tundra in the first year after a redo. We'll see how smug you are a year from now. Maybe you got lucky and are one of the ones who didn't get a lemon. The math is on your side. But the math isn't as much on your side as if you bought a toyota. I don't rely on luck any more. I used it all up staying alive in my teenage moron years. Now the only luck I have is bad. If there was a 10% chance of a lemon, I'd be the one to get it.

    Enjoy your truck. If you got one of the good ones I'm sure it will be outstanding. I'm gonna enjoy my boring (but I think pretty) 2020 Tundra for a good many years.
