Truck question

[dainthomas]

If you were buying a pickup would you get a new 07/08 F150 or a 2-3 year old Tundra? Seems like they're about the same price.

F150, no brainer.

 

[MotF Bane]

Ford.

 

[Parasitic]

Full frame vs. half frame?

the ford website says:

Incentive Program Details:






0.0% APR financing for 36 months
0.0% APR financing for 48 months
0.0% APR financing for 60 months
1.9% APR financing for 72 months

Ford.

Tundra, I have a brain.

 

[thecoolnessrune]

Ford, I too, have a brain.

I'd post in the correct forum first of all.

Go with the Ford, if you are planning on keeping it more than 4 years. Go with the Toyota if you plan on keeping it less than 4 years, as it will retain better resale.

D'oh! I never post in "The Garage" so I tend to forget about it.

Thanks for the input guys! I was kinda leaning Ford anyway. I'd have trouble paying $20-25k for a used truck. Those incentive APRs look pretty nice too!

F150 no doubt. That said, I bought a Tundra because it was cheaper than the F150. I'm willing to buy inferior good if the price is right.

Toyata reliability/durability kicks Ford's ass.....and I own one of both before you call me out.

 

[IGBT]

Nissan Titan. Better then either. Better equipped for the same money.

Toyota reliabilty is a myth. We just bought a Sienna mini-van and got a CEL within an hour of leaving. brought it back and they had to order o2 sensors. Seriously, what shop doesn't have o2 sensors? Well we get that fixed and within an hour of that, the damn CEL came back on and I ran a code scan on it at AutoZone and it's the o2 sensor that is reading a to lean condition. So it's going back in the shop tonight.

On top of that, the Tire pressure sensor light keeps coming on. They said that since it's cold it may come on, which is bullshit since the tires are filled with nitrogen and nitrogen doesn't condense until it reaches it's freezing point.

agreed, there is a reason the f150 has been the best selling truck for the past what 31 years?

Looks like you should stick with American, Jeff. Keep us updated.

Best selling != quality. However, it obviously doesn't suck or they wouldn't sell at all.

Woot go Nissan!

If it's Tundra vs. F-150 though, F-150 all the way.

 

[BarneyFife]

F150

 

[Drakkon]

F150

Dodge Dakota/Ram if it were an option

 

[compuwiz1]

A Tundra is not a real truck.

F150 all the way.

 

[bruceb]

GMC or if you like a nice Dodge RAM ... if you insist on Ford
then the F350 is the better choice as it is very heavy duty.

I have a follow up question based on some of these responses. Why do the prices of new Fords and used Toyotas seem to be so close? This is what threw me off originally, because I assumed that meant the Tundra was a much better truck.
