    What’s up guys. I just traded a 2017 f150 xlt in for my brand new 2018 sr5 off-road! I couldn’t be happier now! I’ll be sure to post all the reasons why I made this change and am glad to be here!
    This is the Ford I traded in for the Toyota.A3BF4CF4-1296-49D8-B04F-57DD45FAC382.jpgF5CD3BB1-4310-4845-85F1-B4B0ECDDD7C1.jpg

    Welcome! You did have a good looking Ford as well, but I've really enjoyed my tundra since I bought it. It would be hard for me to switch to something else.

    Welcome! I was torn between the F150 and Tundra. Actually almost signed off on the Ford and a last minute stop to Toyota helped me make my decision.

    You made the right choice. I hear the F150's has a fatal flaw with their transmission and Ford is well aware of it. My buddy had one and he did all this research and found that it was a matter of bean counters to settle and undisclosed than to recall. The flaw can happen when trying to pass another vehicle or make a sudden jump from a stop and making a left turn. The transmission would drop gear and go into neutral and lose all power to the transmission..could be a bad accident on the horizon. This was why I avoided. It was verified again by another youtuber who said exactly the same thing.

    Welcome. I came out of a 2013 Ecoboost king ranch and just recently into my new Tundra. I miss some of the features but overall I really like the Tundra. On the ford, I was starting to have issues with the turbo/intercooler system and my timing chain (both of which are very well known issues) so I decided to get out of it while I had the chance.
