21' F250 to a 18' Tundra

[30338]

After having 2008 and 2015 Tundras, I can say I am very happy with the capabilities of my 2022 F250. I'd do another 5.7 Tundra but they can't come close to what the F250 does and I think my 2022 actually beats my old tundras on mpg. Pretty amazing trucks.

Buddy has an old Ford F150 with the coyote v8 and I just rode around with him a few days. That truck is really impressive with 200,000 miles and running great. I could see having one of those for a bird hunting truck.

Real world experience is quite different.
As much as I respect staying within limits, a Tundra at max payload is overwhelmed whereas an F150 is still capable.
I know for a fact that a modestly-spec'd F150 with 100k on the odometer can easily package 3 full size men and an entire elk camp up some of the worst 'roads' you can imagine with no addition to the rear suspension other than Bilstein 1500s.
Toyota likes to sell image and specs, Ford sells actual work.

OP-Don't try using airbags to make up for the weak springs on a Toyota....Been there and done that.

I love how when the discussion is toyota's your brag is about people who actually work their trucks.

Now that were up to 1/2 tons, No more work, just a truckload of geriatrics goin up the mountain.

Get ready for 9-10 mph on 2018 Tundra. Id find a F250 diesel with DEF delete and sit back and enjoy 19-23mpg

I avg 16 with my tundra. With 34” tires, leveling kit and shell on the back.

Wow, is it a 2wd? lol
My new 2018 Tundra only got 12 on its best days. 9-10 towing my boat. Got rid of it in 2019 due that mpg. Never had traded a truck in that short amount of time before.

That sounds like my f150. Got 8mpg in it on the freeway once

I think I can beat that towing on the freeway with a headwind and a failing coilpack!

I replaced it with a v10

2 people, 2 dirtbikes, bone stock 5.0 doing 75-80mph. While theres no doubt in my mind that I just got lucky and bought a pickup that was extra shitty. I still have no issues bitching about that stupid truck

I had relatives that had a v10 motorhome. If you kept it under 65 you MIGHT get 8mpg.

I believe it. This is just a single cab f250 on 33's. Havent done the math on it, but I spend about the same on gas as I did that f150. I'm about ready to upgrade again though

Driving from south dakota to nashville and back last fall li got 15 mpg with my 14 tundra. Its got bigger tires and a leveling kit. Its a long drive at one shot

 

[Steve300xcw]

I'd be fine with 15

I think that it’s the divorce that is driving me to a new or different vehicle. Wanting a new start (we had the F250 for pulling the family camper – that we no longer have - moving on from this chapter of life) as well as downsizing. But someone mentioned the Nissan Titan, so now that has me intrigued.

 

[Steve300xcw]

Nothin wrong with hittin the reset button

Folks with the nissans seem to really like them. That said. I can round up parts and folks in the know, for dodge/ford/toyota. I'd have to do some digging for nissan stuff.
