I love my F150. Test drove the others and stuck with Ford. The 3.5 ecoboost is a beast. My 2nd one. There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't. | |||

Ford F-250 with 6.7 diesel. All the truck I need. 18-20 mpg if I watch my lead foot. I own 3 Honda’s and a Toyota Camry for daily drivers but, not much interested in Toyota or Honda’s for trucks. | |||

If I hadnt bought my Tacoma, I would have gotten the Ram Rebel. I’d also open my checkbook for a pre DEF diesel Ram. If I was buying well used | |||

I have a 2016 Ram Laramie with a Hemi. Its my 4th RAM in a row. Going back to 2005. If I had to buy a truck today I don’t think I’d get another RAM. The new ones are ugly. The new front ends Are ugly. The big RAM logo on the tailgate is tacky and the 1500 Memi plastic/chrome logo on the hood is bad. Inside they’re super nice. I just can’t get past all the ugly exterior changes. | |||

I think that is the reliability situation, based on my personal experience and that of the other horse owners I contact with. BUT the net of that discussion is the Tundra is one of the worst choices in the class if you want towing and hauling capacities. Now I know Tundra owners who tow way beyond Toyota's rating have have had very long truck life. But I wouldn't do so. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

My 2010 Tundra is rated to tow slightly over 10000 lbs, no slouch when it comes to towing. | |||

Your point? I ask about the weight of pony220's rig, not the tow capacity of your truck. And I guarantee if you hang 10k off the back of your Tundra, you won't like the result. Simple rule of thumb. When you need to tow 10K+ pounds you need to be driving a 3/4 ton regardless of brand. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

I currently own a 2014 Tundra and would buy another one without hesitation. The seats are comfortable, the engine and transmission are powerful and smooth and the quality is outstanding. The new 2020 models have the larger 38 gallon fuel tanks, push button start, Android Auto and Apple Car Play. That being said, we live in an era of great automobiles and you really can't go wrong with any of the trucks on the market today. My second choice would be the Ram... . | |||

Really? How much weight did he tow? There wasn't a single mention of the loads he carried in the bed or towed behind. Just a couple random and vague comments about delivering oil field pump parts. A million miles is impressive, especially given the minimal amount of repairs, but this video proved nothing about the towing this truck did (or didn't) do. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Towing and hauling for oil field work, I can guarantee you that truck has been overloaded on more than 1 occasion. There’s another video on you tube of another one with over 1 million miles. You’re not gonna get this kind of service out of a truck from the big 3. And the Tundra is Made in the USA. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

Over the life of a 10 year / 100k mile truck, the difference between 15mpg and 20mpg is $52 a month if gas costs $3.75. The gap closes if the cost goes down. The gap increases if you drive more miles or get rid of the truck early. Just putting that out there. Also, the only justification for getting a new vehicle is because you want a new vehicle. That's ok though. You could let a vehicle nickle and dime you with repairs, and it would still be cheaper than getting a new vehicle. No matter how significant the repairs may be, or how little value is left in the car, depreciation expense on a new vehicle will always outpace maintenance and repair costs. | |||

I had a 2015 Ram 1500 Limited and had no problems with it. So I traded for a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited. I have had a LOT of trouble with the radio / screen going dead, blue screen, only one screen would work, other functions controlled by screen (temp, heated seats, phone, etc would not work). I have had it in to the dealer 6 times in the 3 months I have had it.. They replaced the screen and the next day it malfunctioned. Chrysler will not replace the radio (high cost) unless it malfunctions IN THE PRESCENCE OF THE DEALER. Dealer has had the truck for 2 1/2 weeks now. They finally replaced the radio and I got it back today. I am sure they had to lie to Chrysler saying it malfunctioned while they had it. We will see what happens. I had 2019 Pacifica as a loaner and the radio on it did the same damn thing! I told the dealer but I don't think they really care about it. My daughter just had the radio replaced in her 2018 Grand Cherokee for the same issues. I love the truck but I can't recommend it for these reasons. Fortunately, I have a 5 yr 100,000 mile warranty bumper to bumper warranty. | |||

I have a 2013 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4. I bought it used with 49,000 miles on it. I love everything about it. My last two trucks were Rams as well, both lasted me over 150,000 each, and we're in good running condition when I traded them in. I spent 6 years driving my employers power wagon at work, trouble free. My current work truck is a 2017 F150 5.0 V8. It's been a great truck so far as well. I prefer the Ram trucks, but wouldn't hesitate to buy a Ford. I've no doubt that Tundras are great trucks too, but I've never even been in one | |||

The YouTube channel for "The Fast Lane" offers a good assessment of trucks. There is a wealth of info there, including data and opinion. If you purchase a Ford or a Chevrolet, you do get ATF formulated in Richmond VA. The Tundra still uses ATF formulated in Japan. This could be the single most important criteria for vehicle selection. I'm kidding, of course. ------- Trying to simplify my life... | |||

Was this the large 12" screen? I know a lot of people have reported issues if its the new for 2019 12" screen. Some have discussed it on youtube. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

As a matter of fact I have towed close to 10000 lbs with my Tundra and other than crappy gas mileage my Tundra operated just fine. Its OK to voice your opinion regarding 3/4 ton trucks but please don't pretend or assume to know what others have done with their trucks. | |||
