F-150 or Tundra

Is there something special about that picture or are my eyes playing tricks on me? It looks like it's almost holographic.
at least my stang is in the driveway :shrug:
we use and abuse the chevys on the farm. for DD use they will last a long time.
Tundra will last longer. But if you want cheaper price then go with a Ford. I priced out a CrewMax 4wd not long ago with just about every option came to right about 48k I think but had talked to dealer and was down to 42k. So went with a Shelby GT500 for that price. LOL.
Its built in America just like Ford. Tundra is built in Texas.

So, buy a Tundra? lol. They are made in Texas after all. ;-)
Those videos are just Ford propaganda. Frame stiffness does NOT equal frame strength. The Tundra is a very capable truck and the issues it had at launch have been ironed out already. My dad's '07 has been virtually flawless so far.
Would I buy one over an F150? No. The F150 is a proven truck and parts are cheap and plentiful. Who knows how a Tundra will fare at 100K+ miles.
I had a 2000 Tundra. Sold it with 143k miles. Only thing I had to replace was normal wear and tear items (brakes, rotors, tires, etc.) and starter. Not bad if you ask me. Paid 30k for it new sold it for 10,750.
Call the vids what you want but they are very telling, and true. If they were not true you can guarantee Toyota would have already sued Ford over them. I guess I just prefer my trucks to not "drop on the deck and flop like a fish! SpongeBob SquarePants!"
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
Laugh all you want. Just telling you from experience.
Ford builds good stuff as well but after about 5 years or so start to hear creeks and issues start poping up. But hell of alot cheaper to fix than a toyota.
When something breaks on a Toyota bring the bank. They are proud of their products.
I agreed with you until I saw one in person. It looks insane.
I am laughing. My Explorer has 196k on it, and is still in one piece. Meanwhile, my parents' friends' Toyotas have blown up motors and simply fallen apart on the inside.

Yes but the '07 is a completely different animal. I know the 4.7L is proven because its been around for quite a while (thats the engine my dad's truck has) but the 5.7L and its 6-speed auto are brand new designs. So far its looking pretty good though.
Yeah I know the 5.7 is way more power. Toyota put alot of thought into the new truck. Did their best to build a all out work truck. Altho most of the ones that I see on the road are just average people using them.
Even my 2000 had a few bugs that needed to be worked out. Oxygen sensors were the main thing. But first year runs always have issues.

Definately the F-150. If you want the cheapest looking interior on the market, go with the tundra.
Toyota is not quite as good as they once were. I have owned Chevys, Fords, and Toyotas for the last 30 years. At one time, Toyota was way ahead of everybody but not anymore. They are slipping big time and the Tundra is proof to me they had no idea how to build a full size truck.
The best thing about the Tundra is the 5.7 engine. Other than that you can keep the rest of it. Oh, dont forget if you really plan on using as a truck to get a couple of extra tailgates that literally come apart at the seams when loading a 4 wheeler or something. Just google Tundra tailgate and see what you come up with.
While Ford may be down a bit on power they are by far imo the best built truck out there. Many will argue they are not down on power since you seldom drag race a truck anyway. There is a reason they sell so well. The Tundra sucks in the sales dept and has been an embarrassment to the company. They just figured everybody would buy one since it was a Yota but they thought wrong. ;-)

How many Ford trucks have you owned? BTW- Your last paragraph doesn't really give a good argument bud.
