All I can say is "WOW" It's been a long time since I priced trucks. I first started at looking at new ones but it didn't take long to realize in need to look at used trucks. Still they want a bundle for them even when they are high mileage. The last one I bought was a repo from the bank. Guess I will have to play the waiting game again.

I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra with 244,000 on it.....it's a V8 but gets about 400 miles per tank of gas, really cheap. Has never failed me. I don't know whether to go with the Ford or try to put another 100,000 on this one......I think it will go at least that.
Thanks.......Tim

I really really enjoy driving this 11 model Ford it is the most comfortable truck I have driven. I can drive 8 hours get out and function in a meeting with customers. Mine has the 3.5 Ecoboost and will probably be my last v6. It has all the power of a v8 but its still a v6 lol. I have gotten up to 24mpg but average 20 on the interstate and 17 around town. So far the only maintenance has been plugs, coil pack, rotors and brakes. I am due for shocks and will be buying KYB's made in Indiana soon.
I also keep a 97 model Chevy that has 240,000 with the 350 and it still runs like a top. Very little maintenance.

The Toyotas just don't appeal to me, they just aren't very comfortable although they are appealing and built tough. I fully understand the manufacturing end of mostly made in the states and agree that's a good thing. The only problem is the money goes back to Japan. At the same token the US companies should be able to operate the same way. Its a global economy these days.

ive went to toyotas on last 3 pickups and currently have 2 tacomas. these pickups have more parts made in usa than the "big 3" and are assembled here. very high quality. ive done every kind of mechanic work on every pickup and its disgusting what percentage of parts on ford, chevy, dodge, are made overseas in crap countries let alone assembled.

toyotas have problems to though. trucks the age of your tundra have serious frame problems especially in salt country. hows frame on your tundra? let me know how your search goes. later.

My daughter has the Prius I hate that thing lol but it seems to be very reliable and she likes it. I went to dig her out of our 12" snow yesterday and that thing isn't made for this kind of weather.

Just hit 350000 miles on my f150 with a 4.6 engine. It's rusted out in the rockers and the box wheel wells. Your right about the prices. I'm retired out of ford's and they have me just about priced out of the market.

But after I seen the savings of me not having to drive my Truck, I don't hesitate to drive that Prius at all.
We travel a lot of miles on the Road for our Company, they needed something very good on fuel.......You won't find anything better on fuel or more dependable than a Toyota Prius........!!

I really would like to have one for our Personal Car, to take trips in, etc. there is actually quite a bit of room, ride good, pretty comfortable. My daughter loves riding in this one.

Right now I have a 2005 Chevy with 208k on it. It's been a good truck but not much for gas mileage. But it's a 2500 with a 6.0. I've looked at all makes and models, 4x4 and 4x2. I just don't know what to do. They just don't want to budge on the price of those Toyota trucks. I'm really a Chevy guy but I'm not impressed with the looks. Ford definitely has my attention and even the dodges.
