Toyota or Ford

Toyota Tundra TRD Pro or Ford F-150 Lariat FX4
Both are crew cab, Yota has the 5.7 V8, can get the Ford in either 5.0L V8 or 3.5 ecoboost.
I've never owned a truck before, for 10 years I've been driving 4runners, I've had 3 in that time, not bc anything has gone wrong with them but just upgraded up the chain to the Limited.
What's the OB think between my 2 options?

Well I may be biased but I'd suggest the Ford. I've always had fords never let me down. Not sure how much you will be driving but the Ford will get much better mileage especially by getting one of their ecoboost engines. Only good thing about Toyota is they're known for producing high mileage vehicles but it all comes down to which deals/ pricing you prefer, how long are you going to keep it and how much will you drive it.

How long will you keep it? How important is fuel efficiency?

Get the Tundra if plan to continue trading every 3ish years. Tundra really holds it's value and I'm a F150 guy.

Drive them both and see which you prefer.
The Tundra will probably cost more, but has a slightly better resale value.
Either Ford engine will get better gas mileage that the Tundra. Shitty gas mileage is the biggest complaint against the Tundra.
I drove both trucks back in '14 when I was buying a new one and I couldn't justify paying $10 grand more for the Tundra than the F-150 I bought. (XLT, 4x4, leather, Ecoboost, 20" wheels, HID headlights)

Toyota. If you can afford the truck, the gas is a non issue in my book 
Posted on 1/2/17 at 10:54 pm to Cwar11
Get the Yota. I'm on my third Tundra and I have never had an issue. Mileage isn't great but the quality will offset it.

If you need to tow or haul anything heavy in the bed like a four wheeler, do not get the TRD Pro it has a softer suspension IIRC. Look at another trim for the Tundra and shop them on bang for the buck, they're both good and should last forever. I'd guess the better deals will be on the Fords though.

Toyota

Isn't there a substantial price difference between compatible model Ford vs yota?
At minimum I know you can get hellacious rebates on domestics, hardly anything in Toyota's
Eta- just looking at cars.com, yota is about 8k more.

I own a ford. Buy a Tundra.
The lariat is a great truck for 100,000 miles. Then it turns to shite.

Yota.
Not sure I would get the Pro, seems gimmicky.

If you go Ford, get the V8. A turbo V6 is the most ridicules fade I have seen.

I just bout a TSS tundra in May.
So far, so good. Gas mileage sucks but the truck has been great thus far.
I plan on putting 250k miles on it so I got the tundra.
I replied to this thread to have the opportunity to use the word 'thus' in a sentence.

I'd say the engines are similarly reliable. Where Toyota shines in in the components and finish over time. I have an 06 Tundra with 130,000 miles on it and every single ting in the truck works exactly as well as the day I bought it. I had two Ford products prior and had tons of electrical issues and little things that break. All my friends who keep Fords for any period of time have all had issues with displays, gauges, window motors, etc.
I think the Ford is a better looking truck, they just aren't made as well.

F150 all the way. The eco boost paired w the alum body drives like a fricking sports car. Yota way heavier and more sluggish in traffic. Both great trucks but Ford has way more advantages

I bought a 2016 F150 5.0 XLT in February. I've had no trouble with it after an initial hose was leaking and I got that fixed. I do like it, but I'm not a big fan of the lack of abilities of the dash screen, and the heat/air controls are in an awkward place. Other than that it is fine.
Huge discounts on domestic trucks, not as much on Toyotas.
I would have bought a Tundra, would have been my first choice, but it was about $5-7K higher for an equivalently equipped vehicle (as much as possible) and I didn't want to spend that much money.
You get more options with the Ford for sure. Not always sure that is a good thing.

no matter what they "claim" you are going to average 13mpg with a tundra but it has more pulling torque to the ground then a ford in real life (not talking about the "claims" on the stickers)
if you plan to keep it 10-15 years I like the ford aluminum bodies better, if your only thinking 5-10 years then its a coin flip based on if you care how much it costs to keep filling it up

I have had both and my vote goes to the Tundra. I had a 2013 F150 FX4 with the ecoboost. I loved the ecoboost engine but had issues with the slip yoke that Ford refused to cover on the warranty. Also the en tune system > Ford mysnc.

Ford FX4 Ecoboost I averaged about 16.5 MPG Front level with 33" tires
Tundra 4x4 5.7 Front level with 33" tires AVG 15.5 MPG
I did get much better when towing in the F150 than the Tundra but I don't haul alot so not really a big deal.
