My last f150 had all the clear coat peel off at 4 years. Called in to Ford to see about resolution, they told me it was unique to mine cause I used it outside.

At any mention of the word "Tundra", Lunchbox will arrive like a roach flying to a lightbulb in the night.
The guy is truly pathological. I've never seen such obsessive hate for an inanimate object before anywhere else.
I've owned 3 Chevy trucks. My brother has owned a GMC and an Ecoboost F150. My father has had 2 Explorers and 2 Taurausi as company cars among a host of other vehicles (Pontiacs, a Pacifica, an 80s Audi, a huge Caddy convertible in the '70s, a 442 W-30). My mother has owned 3 Suburbans, 2 Expeditions an F150, and an Ecoboost Explorer. My Tundra has had the least problems of any of them (none). It's 10 years old, has never been parked in a garage, and I've only replaced brake pads, wipers, the battery (once), the belt (once) and tires and changed the oil. The original battery lasted 7 years. The original belt lasted 9 years. It has the original spark plugs in it. I've never changed the transmission fluid or opened the rear end. That's incredible. In my family this thing is legendary because it looks maybe 5 years old and has nothing wrong with it. Coming from nothing but domestic trucks, everyone else in my family fully expects a 10 year old vehicle to be a pile of crap.

This is a truly delicious melt.
Did you miss the post where I said they're both great trucks and for OP's purposes he could flip a coin? Nah, you're too busy going off your rocker.

You're the one who becomes hysterical anytime the longevity and quality of Tundras are mentioned.
Melt on, Melt-o-man.

Pretty much the exact response I expected from you.

6.2 Denali, 5.0 F150, 5.7 Tundra, can't go wrong. It's all about your experience in the past what your preference is now. Love my 6.2 it's a beast.

Not unless you are the type that trades in their vehicles every 5-6 years.
My Ford started having problems after 110,000 miles, which took us about 5-6 years to accumulate. I liked the truck because it looked nice and was comfortable....but durability, longevity, and resale are not things that Ford does well.

For me, it would be between the Sierra or Tundra, but I'd probably also consider the new Titan.

Again, anything to actually back that up?

Congrats on your sample size of 1.

Don't forget to check the vehicle history for body work before you buy and make sure it wasn't in an accident. You may want to discuss negotiation strategies on the money talk board if you have time.

I've been partial to Ford, but the Tundra has me intrigued since I want to own it for 10+ years at minimum.
In that case, the Toyota is the easy choice between the two. Fords tend to need work around the time most of their owners finish paying them off. A lot of them from that era have weird design flaws too, such as a 3V engine that would go through spark plugs pretty quickly and cost a small fortune and a lot of time to replace.
The problem with Toyota is that they are not as popular and their buyers tend to keep them a bit longer, so you'll have fewer selection to choose from as a used truck. Perhaps you would be well served by looking at a new mid sized truck as an alternative?

If your number one concern is resale and longevity, you aren't going to beat the Tundra.
Is there anything besides anecdotes from Tundra owners to back this up?

So, what exactly is depreciation? Simply put, depreciation is the loss in value associated with advancing age and mileage and it is by far the number one expense associated with vehicle ownership; viewed another way, a slower rate of depreciation leads to better retained value, or “retention,” over time.
quote:
With tremendous demand for large trucks among buyers, the average retention for the segment is high at 62.5%. Just as it is for mid-size trucks, Toyota is the segment leader for large pickups with its Tundra exhibiting a 71.6% retention rate

On the other hand, large half-ton pickups from Ford and General Motors are found to be not only well-liked, but also have extraordinary value retention as the group is currently retaining 63.1%

Owned a 2013 ecoboost F150 and now own a 2016 Tundra. Had issues at 50K with the F150. Traded and love the Tundra.

I've read more posts like this than I ever care to. It's why I went with the 5.0.

I'm talking more about the longevity. No one seems to have any thing to back that up.

As long as it ain't a Dodge, Honda, or Nissan you are doing just fine.
My viewpoint (which is worth a shite ton):
GM - looks
Ford - most fun to drive
Toyota - durability/resale
Can't go wrong with those 3. I'm shallow as hell so I went with the GM.
