re: Toyota or Ford

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.
