I have no beef with Fords. I had two F150s before buying the Tundra. I bought my '91 F150 new and sold it with 172K miles on the clock in 2003; I did three brake jobs and hoses; other than that, the truck required nothing but standard PM (oil changes and fluid flushes) over those miles. I bought my 2001 F-150 with 38K miles and sold it with 103K miles. Other than gas and oil, it cost me two brake jobs and one blinker assembly in five years and 65K miles.
That said, I bought the Tundra because I loved the looks and specs, Toyota's reputation, and because the Ford dealers pissed me off. They would not give me a price quote via phone or internet. They would not even tell me what they had on the lot to look at. They all wanted me to "come in to talk about it" so they could give me a good deal. The Toyota dealer where I bought my truck was straight about the deal he could (or would) make. When I tried to compare to a "comparably equipped" F150, I couldn't tell what the price would be so decided to go with the Tundra. Now that I have owned it for a month, I am very happy I did!!
