Don't skimp on the Nissan Titan. My 2018 has been solid and was by far the best bang for the buck in a 4x4 crew cab v8.

I have a 2018 F150 PS 3.0 with 190k on it and still going strong. All oil changes were done and every other fluid was changed at 100k and will be done again at 200k.

No transmission issues at all, still gets 25-25.5 mpg, and pulls boat and trailer with no problems.

That is the exact truck I am looking for actually. Going to do that or go F250 with the gas motor.

The last of the V8 Tundras probably


Is pretty much the answer.

If you don't mind stepping up to a f250..

The 6.2 gas with the 6 speed diesel transmission (not the 10 speed first years) has an amazing drive train. You can get them up to 2022 i think.

Tundra and the gas f250 6.2 get same gas mileage

I’ve heard great things on both the 5.0 coyote engine in the F-150’s as well as the 7.3 L Godzilla in the F-250’s.

I would get an older Tundra.
I just got out of a 2019 Chevy 1500 with a 5.3 at 220K miles. Company truck so I drove it a little harder than normal. Never needed anything but an oil change until 190K, radiator cracked, water pump went out and then the transmission. The 4L60's in those trucks are known to be on the weaker side so you can figure after 100K it's gonna need to be replaced.

I would only look to purchase a 2023 or later 7.3L. Ford revised components including the piston rings, water pump and fuel economy.
