Hello everyone. First Toyota and thought I'd join the forum. This will be a bit long winded...
First, I am a diehard Ford fan. My wife drives a 2015 Expedition and I have 2 Foxbody mustangs. One is a 91 GT that I've owned since 95. I just swapped a built 351w and it's a 5 speed car with 4.56 gears. The other is a 92 LX 5.0 auto with 26k original pampered miles. It's put back for my 15 year old son.
Now that all of that is out of the way, how did I end up in a Tundra?
I've had Ford trucks since 1997. Lots of them - F150's, F250's, Excursions, etc. good luck with all of them. My latest was a 2014 FX4 screw with the appearance package. It was leveled, 34" Duratracs, ecoboost, etc. It was completely loaded. I leased it 1.5 years ago on a 3 year term. For the first 15k, I had zero issues. Then I had a random wrench light that limited trans shifting to the first 3 gears. Dealer scheduled appt. 5 days out. Dropped it off and they told me there was a TSB for the lead frame connector. The tech wanted to just change it and had to order parts. I agreed. Picked it up and discovered they didn't change anything. But the fluid. The tech cleaned the connector. A week later it started slamming into gears 2 and 3. Dealer told me to keep driving it. So, I did. Until it started grinding. Had it towed to the dealer and was told 2-3 weeks. Gave me a loaner first week into it. By the middle of the 2nd week, I called and they hadn't touched it. So, in a fit of emotion I called their sister dealership and worked out a deal on the Tundra. The deal was great and I figure I'll give the Tundra 2 years of driving. It was always my second choice.
I work for a tier 1 auto supplier and understand Japanese quality systems. That and the fact the Tundra is an American built truck made it easier to give it a try. My kids are angry and my coworkers are in shock. But they universally like the Tundra.
Now, for the comparisons.
Power- the Tundra is strong. I like the traditional v8 and 4.30 gears. The trans calibration is sorted out well. The Ecoboost was stronger midrange in torque as it would pull all interstate hills in 6th and no downshifts. The Tundra drops a gear in some spots. But it's typical of my past na v8's. The first tank in the Tundra netted 14.4 mpg. The F150 wasn't much better. My wife's Expedition with the Eco is a solid 16 in the same drive.
Styling- the F150 I had was very eye catching with the bright red paint, black wheels, stripe package, and zero chrome. The Tundra has an eyeful of chrome upfront. But I can change that. It also needs leveled in my opinion. I used Autospring on my past 2 F150's and will likely go there again. Solid construction. I like the magnetic gray. I've already tinted the front windows 20%.
Interior- I like the Entune and the roomy cab. It's the only one I think compares with the F150 screw. My kids have tons of room. I do wish there was under seat storage. My F150 had storage bins and the stereo was an upgraded Sony with subwoofer (factory). I can't compare trim levels as I essentially bought an XLT equivalent. The Tundra represents well. I miss the better info screen in the Ford and an example is factory transmission temp gauges. But I assume Toyota will be adding that in the future.
Driving- the Tundra rides better. The F150 handled better. Brakes are comparable and I'd give the nod to the Tundra.
Build quality- the Toyota looks to be better here. Everything underneath is painted. The fasteners are coated. There are zero rattles or door shake on rough roads. This was a big factor for me after the dealer experience from Ford. I don't have time to be their Guinea pig.
In the end, I am in a honeymoon stage. I enjoy getting in and driving the Tundra. It may not have the style of my last truck, but it's not exactly plain. I will likely end up in another Ford after my lease. But, I could end up surprising everyone and buying out my lease.
Looking forward to participating in the forum. I was very active in the F150 forums. Every part of this truck is a learning experience. But I've finally figured out how to turn the wipers on haha.

 

Welcome from eastern CO! I'll be surprised if you go back to a Ford after having the Tundra for 2 years, they're addicting.

 

Welcome from south La, buddy!! I like fords to be honest, but seems like lately they've been having bugs, my cousins both had to get their computers fixed within a year of them driving (brand new).
With that said, I haven't had any problems with my tundy, it does need some work in certain areas (which truck doesn't?) but as far as construction, ride, and everything mechanical, I have to go with tundras! You'll love it!!
