HUH???

Early 5.7's had cam/valve train issues. Was resolved in 07-8, IIRC.

I wasn't the one that brought up the 6.0. But since you're hung up on it, why are you worried about an engine that Ford hasn't used in over a decade? And since when did a (Toyota) head gasket become a wear item? But fine... early 5.7 valvetrain issues were prevalent... but those also don't...

Just curious if you read what you write before you post it. I'm thinking you don't. 6.0 headgaskets big deal. 3.0 headgaskets that had to be done 1, 2 sometimes 3 times.... not serious. hahahaha... y'all crack me up.

yet the 6.0 is? lol..

Frames, 3.0 headgaskets, 22rx headgaskets, rust, gen2 tacoma motor mounts, gen3 tacoma oiling issues.. At least be honest about this stuff... your using a single example and then chastising someone who responds with a single example.

I'm not sure I understand the math... you don't want to put 5-figures into a new frame, but you're going to spend $30-40k on a 2019 and then spend a bunch of money on frame repairs?

bringing up the 6.0 while ignoring Toyota's propensity to have to replace frames... your statements are just as filled with ego and myopia as any.

No dog in this fight.. will you keep the truck another 15 years? If so, will another factory frame make it?

my xcab may be on BAT soon... currently negotiating the reserve price with them. It's painful to know that I might have to let it go cheaper than i'd like, but it is what it is... They are hoping for a bidding war...

how are we defining "slow," exactly?

Seems appropriate to the discussion. https://www.hotcars.com/problems-ford-doesnt-want-to-tell-us-about-its-pickups/?utm_source=HC-FB-B&utm_medium=Facebook-Distribution&fbclid=IwAR1ASt4X-Ij4Ijl8uRQHw4O3hrjzfNDsofIaFH92HjCjuhI3BZJv-DttuPQ

His point is still correct. Looking only at the axle ratio and claiming a winner is missing too many elements of the drivetrain. Final drive ratio likely will show that both are similar. If that is the case, one could argue that a pinion with more teeth is stronger than the 4.30’s available in...

If your last statement were true, then no one here should own a second gen Tundra. And I can agree that a design can evolve into perfection... but I find that word very hard to apply to the current Tundra for reasons mentioned.

HAHAHA!

Ok... it's been a few weeks with the JK now... Few observations... 1 - it's not a Toyota. Fit and finish isn't as nice (didn't expect it to be) as my Tacoma's or 4Runners. Engine isn't as smooth, but it still likes to rev. 2 - It's pretty dang fun to drive. Probably just as much because it's a...

Personally, I'd start a list of what you really need/want in a vehicle. Then put your shopping on ice for... say... 90 days. Then revisit the list and see what fits it best. Why? Cause my ADHD allows me to hyper-focus on a new [insert item here] often. I've been able to temper it by doing the...

Disgust? I've owned 7 Tundra (4 first gen, 3 second gen)… I prefer to think of my opinions as experiential in nature. :p

I haven't said the Tundra is bad... I've simply stated it's essentially the same truck as it was in 2007... isn't that a contradiction? If rating is based on component strength, shouldn't the other 1/2 tons have lower ratings (if they use inferior components). Toyota did that to one truck...

nope... but other mfg's did at the time. So now you're citing "new technologies" as a good thing... :p BTW - my 2015 was promised to have a brake controller... IT finally arrived in... 2017 or 2018? 38 gallon tank arrived in 2017? Adjustable headlights were available in 07. If there were...
