I posted my thoughts about Tundra vs. F150 earlier in this thread. I'm a Toyota guy and always have been. Went and looked at comparable trucks and came to the conclusion that the only reason to buy the Tundra is that you want a Tundra. The F150 beat the Tundra in every category I could think of, especially if you want a 6.5' bed. Broke my heart and I couldn't make a decision so I'm still driving my '13 F150 which I bought when comparing F150s with Tundras in '14. Only looking to sell/buy because someone hit me so I thought it might be a good time to upgrade.
For what it worth, which it may not be worth much, the oil an gas pigs in Northern BC only drive domestics, Toyota/Nissan just can't handle the roads up there. One or two trips and they get the shit kicked out of them while the domestics take the abuse.
Seems like the 150 makes the most sense.
I want a Tundra because I really loved my Tacoma.
Tundra looks better than 150s.
get the Nitro Tundra...Quote:

I started my search wanting to buy a new F-150. I really loved the idea of Ford's lightweight Al alloy body and the F-150 drove best. But we plan to keep the truck for 10+ years and those features were trumped by long-term reliability history. Tundra LT reliability is heads and shoulders above the others. Toyota UR engines, and in particular the current 3UR, are bomber, as are Tundra trannies (and both are made in the U.S.A. if that matters to you). Lots of F-150 reliability problems of all sorts. Chevy AFM has been a disaster. (Yeah, I know it can be rechipped to disable AFM, but that voids the warranty.)
Hmmm. Well you know the hot maggot utility vehicles these days are a toss up between 80 Series Land Cruisers and Powerstroke Diesel, right?Quote:

Any thoughts on the Colorado with the Cummins?

Sounds like Daddy approved the new carwash:rolleyes:
Duramax is not a Cummins product FWIW. You might look through this series. It goes through at least July of this year.

Very aware of that, just miss-typed. Thanks for the correction and link.Quote:

Not a fanboy of any US made full size half ton, they each have their issues and place depending on use. At work, for half tons and cost/maintenance, Chevy>Ford>Tundra>Dodge. For 3/4 or larger, so far it's Ford>Chevy>Dodge. YMMV

That was a good thread. It reminds me to check out the active BMW build thread that basinbeater posted in the wrenching thread a while back. Here is the link to his current build. 80's series with a 6bt is fuggin cool.Quote:

Yeah, I think if I were ever to do a motor swap in mine it'd be a 6bt. The 4 cyl diesels don't offer much over the stock 1fz-e in terms of power.Quote:

It's smooth once you get it up to speed, and draws some interesting looks in parking lots since it still sounds like a farm truck at idle. Ultimately went with the Tacoma since I liked the build quality more and at the end of the day, just liked driving the truck more. Cost was a bit of a factor as well, though the improved mileage of the diesel helps balance that out.
Friend just got the GMC Canyon 2.8 diesel 4WD crew cab. I think it’s rated 28 mpg hiway...he got 26 on his first tank.
Although the width is just right IMO, the WB and overall length doesn’t seem like much of an improvement vs full size truck on vestigial ‘roads’.
