Drive all of them. Literally all of them. Drive every one that you think you may want, even a little. Only start to narrow it down after that.

F150's have always served me well. Driving a 2015 now. Love it. Liked the look of the Tundra but friends of mine who own them only getting 16 mpg. Guzzlers. I'm driving a 5.0 and getting 22 mpg avg.

I have an 06 Tundra and only had to replace tires a battery and brake pads. It's not just the engine reliability, it's the reliability of the electronics and components non engine parts, etc.

i have owned Fords before this truck and while I didn't have a lot of engine trouble, lots of little things would break over time...

Window and mirror motors and displays on the dash, hinges on compartments would break, etc... Every little thing on my Tundra works exactly the way it did when I bought it. And then engine hasn't given me a single lick of trouble in 10 years. Nothing. And I have put that truck through hell and haven't even been super religious about maintenance.

My wife had an 04 Camry that we traded in 14. It also never spend a day in the shop.

20 years of Toytotas, zero problems.

I have two buddies who have fords and are always having trouble with electronics, etc..
