Maybe but the Tundra will last a lot longer and have more resale
value.
Which is the result of costing $10,000 more than a similarly equipped
Ford, Chevy or Dodge.
IMHO money well spent if you plan on keeping it for a while. The
increased reliability alone is worth quite a bit to me. Several times
I have resolved to never again own an american made automotive
product. This time I mean it. :-)
Well, I will say that I am really disappointed in my new F-150.
As in VERY disappointed.
However, to Ford's credit, they have stood behind it to the tune of
$13,000 worth of new drive train - engine, transmission, drive shaft,
transfer case and rear end. Plus new cat converters. And gave me a
full 100,000 mile transferable drivetrain warranty in the bargin.
Can't complain about their service.
OK, besides the obvious, how was everything else with the F150?
Fine - can't complain. Leather interior, audio system, moonroof, very
comfortable - all digital this and that - plenty of interior room,
drives great, handles well in bad weather.
It just doens't have any power - and I've got the 5.4 thingy doer with
the plow/tow package.
Oddly, that same package in the FX4 edition, tows my boat just fine -
no problem.
It's totally wierd.
Maybe it is a California Engine. My 99 Expedition was a dog.
