If I'm given a choice between a F-150, a Silverado and a Tundra, it's a Tundra all day every day.
A Ranger or a Colorado over a Tacoma? I'm laffin' at the thought of not taking the Tacoma.
How about you don't compare trucks that cost like 10-20K different?
I'll take the cheap stripped down F150 any day and buy a sweet boat and still save a couple grand over the Toyota [Bleeeeep!].
I say that as a previous owner of a rediculously expensive 2003 Tundra TRD. Expensive and complex automobiles are a waste of life's precious resources and don't improve your life much unless you drive a whole fuckin lot. I say that as someone who drives 80-100 miles every day. I would rather put my money into things that matter more.
Oh yeah and made in the USA. Ford all the way.
Dude.
The TRD is one of the top-of-the-line Toyota trucks. It's not exactly a stripped down model.
Even so, the engine and tranny were built in America. It was assembled in America and 75% of the components were sourced in America.
Additionally, that 2003 Toyota Tundra TRD is still worth more than a top-of-the-line 2003 Ford F-150 if you owned it and wanted to sell it or trade it in.
A stripped down Tundra SR is priced comparably to a stripped down F-150. Buy the Tundra and a boat, beat and drive the sh!t out of it and when you're done with it, sell it for more than a Ford.
