F150 vs Tundra....I’ll make a decision tomorrow

[Deleted member 9101]

True
$2250 on the Expedition gets you 650! But I’m keeping it stock. Its a family hauler

Stock is nice...but once you feed the HP dragon....it just keeps eating

In a few years, when my daughter is old enough to help, I'm going to upgrade the turbos, add meth injection, replace the intercooler plumbing, and heavily revise the tune. It should put me at the point where the OEM HPFP is maxed out, which is in the neighbourhood of 530-550 HP at the rear wheels. After that it gets really pricey because a high performance HPFP is about 2,500.00 and a custom turbo setup will cost twice that. If I upgrade the HPFP then the limit becomes my nerves and my wallet....haha.

I am not an "F150 guy." My last two trucks were Tundras and before that was an F150. I've also had an S10, a Frontier, as well as a Dakota RT. I favor no manufacturer. I simply refuse to bow down and worship Toyota while recognizing that Ford builds a damn good product that out performs the competition.

Honestly if Ford didn't have the EcoBoost, I'd have a Chevy with the 5.3 due to how cheap it is to build the motor (stroker kit, cam, heads, etc.).

For not being an F150 guy, you sure do jump into every thread mentioning them vs Toyota, even going as far as making unfounded speculations and calling BS on cold hard aggregate data that doesn't favor Ford. Acknowledging simple facts is not bowing down in worship.

Speaking of Chevy, I really liked the 2019 Silverado I test drove earlier this month.

Are you seriously comparing a Platinum Tundra to a Platinum F150? That's laughable. A base Lariat F150 has more niceties than any Tundra.

The Tundra is a nonstarter in the running for a new pickup today for anyone other than a Toyota fanboy. You are literally buying a 2010 truck with 5 miles on it.

More like a 2007 truck...that's the first year of the current gen. That's exactly why people who buy one prefer it. But I agree with you...if I were to buy a Tundra (I am in the market for a full size and am undecided myself), it wouldn't be any newer than 2012 probably.

The fleet of vehicles I have been managing for over 20 years consists solely of cars and trucks from the big 3 only because of Gov't purchasing restrictions. Some have been completely unreliable, others have been ok. We turn them around every 5 years on average. From this experience alone my fleet at home is now all Toyota! All the anti-Toyota trolls posting in this section clearly have their blinders on and no-one is going to change their minds. You all can keep your "modern" amenities and drag-racing ricer trucks, I'll choose reliability every time over useless gadgets and 1/4 mile times. Anyone who thinks any vehicle from the big 3 can compete with Toyota in reliability is truly a fan boy, which is why they are posting nonsense in the Toyota section to begin with.

I've heard/seen that from the people that have driven it. I just have a hard time looking at the front end. A neighbor has the GMC which he loves but man is it ugly.

Agreed. That being said, I do like the short front overhangs of the Silverado.

Different strokes for different strokes. Not all of us want to pay tomorrows prices for yesterdays trucks.

Also, name one useless gadget on my truck... Pppppplease name one.

I love how offended Toyota owners get when someone pushes back against their "mAuh YotAh iSdA moOsT rEliAbLe tRucK" nonsense.

Well lets see, unlike most people on this site I have owned both a Tundra and F150, plus I have the benefit of also having my two prior work trucks being F150s.

As for your data...as someone who deals with large amounts of data on a almost daily basis, I am very skeptical when it's all encompassing and generalized.... Such as the data you cited. Data is very easy to misinterpret, manipulate, and skew.

Question: have you owned either truck...or are you relying 100% on what you read on line?

Nalgene bottles are for amateurs, I carry a gallon jug of water with me at all times!

Do you also carry a giant dufflebag to do curls in the squat rack while wearing a flatbill cap and screaming? #broscience

I assume this is true of all F150 owners, especially lifted F150s.

Nope...I do Yoga in the squat rack and my hair is to pristine to ever hide under a hat....thus why I don't have a lifted truck ;-)

 

[docwatson]

Well that solves it... you're either a bro or a hipster with a man bun if you drive an F150.

@cpabbey buy the Tundra if you respect yourself.

Hey man, In the PNW at least, us real hipsters carry HydroFlasks, not pinche Nalgenes?

Owwwwwww! ?

In rural Georgia, my good ol boy country cousin Tuck who lived outside a Milledgeville, always use ta advice me when I visited there, “never insult a man’s dog, or his truck, his mama or his woman,” (in that order).

Tundra is superior. It has two glove boxes. F150 is only half way there.
