That's what it's designed to do

If you aren't towing anything heavy I'd stick with a Tacoma. Easier to park, better offroad, and plenty of room in a double cab.

If I was forced to buy a full sized my first choice would be a Tundra with an FX4 F150 a very close second.

I had just put new A/T cooper Zeon on my Tundra. When I sold it I traded the tires on the two. Looks much better without the grocery go getter tires.

That is one of the reasons I bought the double cab. The chick I was dating when I bought the last truck had a young one and sooner or later there will be little Zee's running around.

Tell yall the same thing I told the girl I am dating now.
This truck will be my family truck, cause one it is paid off, I am getting a convertible Corvette for me time.

Do what I did. Go physically sit in each and every major full size truck:

GMC Sierra
Chevy 1500
Dodge 1500
Ford F 150
Toyota Tundra
Nissan Titan

The best becomes immediately apparent, and it isn't close. My new truck:

Depends on your price range and what you want. Dont get a tundra they are hideous. If you can afford it a 2011 gmc denali or a sierra 6.2. You will not be disappointed. I'm not a ford fan at all and my brother's 6.0 diesil has been terrible, but the newer fords are nice.

Seatbelt would have helped

Almost 50 in a 25mph zone, no seatbelt, the road was wet, and you were in a vehicle with crappy rear wheel traction?

Reckless much?

After that I probably get another Tacoma

No gas burner holds its value like a Tacoma.

I'm trying to decide myself. I have to buy a Tundra, but Co will give me a F150. Clearly Ford has advantage as I will get more days off while its in the shop.

Did you ever wonder why you don't see a 3 quarter ton advertised? Don't need to build it this one has the capacity of a 3/4 ton which is why the fuel mileage is different. Beefier truck.


Never go full retard.

My F150 is rated to tow 11,300lbs. What is your beefier Tundra rated to tow?
