Anybody with a socket wrench and five minutes could easily reverse the outcome of that dummied up test. When Ford's start regularly going 200,000+ miles without anything besides minor routine maintenance, please let me know. That is NOT their present reputation. What exactly does pickup box bounce indicate, anyway? Maybe Ford needs to do some homework. It may be an advantage for the mighty oak tree to sway in the wind, rather than standing firm and breaking. Most competent engineers know that. You must be a Tundra owner. ;-) |

He'd rather pay $47,000 for a Tundra that will shake it'self apart than a Ford which at $34,000 won't. Heh, heh, heh... You are wrong on all counts. I don't own a Tundra. However Fords do not have a very good reputation for living a long life without major repairs. They are crap, plain and simple. Is the Toyota perfect? Far from it. It's still a hell of a lot better than any current Ford. To compare them for quality is laughable. Really laughable. Total cost of ownership from beginning to end of usable life makes the Toyota half the price of the Ford or better. You are a sucker for initial low price. PT Barnum knew all about you.. We own a Toyota Highlander and could not be happier with it. Does that mean the Tundra is of equal quality? Hmm....... I will be purchasing a pickup in the near future and have narrowed my choice to the three that were tested in the link I orignally provided. I am not a Dodge or Nissan fan. I thought the bed stability test was a good example of the finish quality between these 3 trucks and was a start for me to compare the 3. Whether or not a simple tightening of nuts with a socket wrench can fix the problem highlighted by the test is debatable at this point..........the main point is that the trucks were tested as rolled out by the factories. I know brand loyalty is important to some...........I am looking to move past that. Perhaps this thread can result in some unbiased reviews based on experiences with the Ford F-150, Chevy Silveraldo and Toyota Tundra. Heck, reviews of the Dodge Ram and Nissan Titan pickups are also welcome. ;-) |

Let's put it this way, if you want my Tundra you will have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. It's a great truck - rides well, quiet, nicely finished, reliable, half-way decent fuel economy (for a V8 gas truck). |

Tell you what old bean - I've owned Fords since college - 40 years ago. All of them went over 150,000 with nary a hitch. Sucker this, Barnum Boy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyC6v...elated&search= -; |

You want a review of the Ram... ok.
My 1st in 1984 (1/2 ton, 2wd) went 130,000 with nothing other than an electronic ignition module that went bad at about 50,000. I replaced it with a standard vacuum advance, and it was good 'till I traded it on a 1990 (3/4 ton, 4wd). The 1990 had the tranny go south at 60,000 but was replaced under warantee, and was problem free till I traded it on a '95 at about 100k. The '95 (3/4 ton, 4wd, extended cab) was absolutely problem free until I traded it on my current Dodge... an '03. The '95 had about 150k on it at the time. So far, the '03 (3/4 ton, 4wd, crew cab, hemi) has not had a single problem other than normal stuff (brakes, tune-up, etc) as with the other trucks. I've only got about 50k on it right now. Until Dodge gives me a reason to go elsewhere, it's the truck for me. --Mike "JimH" ask wrote in message ... wrote in message ...
