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.

What happened to it? I've had mine for 6 years now, even rearranged the
right front end and it is still running just like a new truck, except
for the valves tapping a bit.

I have no idea.

Apparently, neither do they. :)

Do you guys have a 'lemon law' down there? Would they ever replace the
truck if they can't fix it?

Yep, but it has to be through an arbitration process and, to be frank,
by the time I finished, the truck would have a zillion miles and
wouldn't be worth squat.

I'm currently eyeing a 2000 F-350 with the 7.3 that has 200,000 on it.
The price is right and it wouldn't cost me anything to run it just
towing the boat.
