What's good? A 2024 F450 double cab 8' box FX4 475hp/1050ftlbs diesel...that's what!
I had the heat sheild over the drive shaft too...needed add some rivets instead of glue...It was addressed during an oil change such a non issue I forgot about it.
Why would you spend $1,100 on leaf packs? You can buy OME Dakars for less than half of that, and it's a quick, easy install. IMO, the leaf pack thing is way over exaggerated by Detroit fanboys. The frame rust issue would be a much better gripe, but that problem hasn't been present for some years.Refer to my previous posts about the 2006 Tacoma leaf springs....Toyota laughs at you until a recall is required by NHTSA then said Eff You on reimbursing you for the $1100 you spent out of pocket to fix their pathetic parts.
Toyota does not wear the halo as many fanbois believe.
I'll just buy one for $15k, drive it ten years, fix anything that breaks and I still won't spend $50k with all the gas, tires, oil changes, brakes and even a new engine. But think of that 5mpg I could have saved.Maybe if you worry about your MPG, you will someday be able to afford a $50k+ pickup.
I’ve been trying to talk someone into this same deal. Buying a used truck for 40k with all the bells and whistles when he can buy a truck for less than 20k. Put that extra 20k in investments and buy yourself a damn sheep hunt when you retire for 100k.I'll just buy one for $15k, drive it ten years, fix anything that breaks and I still won't spend $50k with all the gas, tires, oil changes, brakes and even a new engine.

How does the EPA share blame for EB junk cam phaser and the bad manifolds? My manifold didn't even last 75kI'm just here to make sure the EPA and CAFE gets some blame too... their standards are at the root of diminished reliability and increased service cost across all manufacturers.
Couldn't figure out that noise for last frickin 2 months....heat shield rattle...thanks manI had the heat sheild over the drive shaft too...needed add some rivets instead of glue...It was addressed during an oil change such a non issue I forgot about it.
Same boat here. Trying to decide between the 2024 Tundra and Tacoma........Not to Sidetrack the thread, but what the hell is with Ford and Cam phasers?
I thought that was more specific to the 5.4.
Does the 5.0 not have cam phaser issues?

Don’t bother. He hates his money and is trying to get rid of it. Something about upgraded suspension for a truck his wife won’t let him take off the pavement.

Ford only has minor recalls. Not a big deal."DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going."
Ford recalls over 550,000 pickup trucks because transmissions can suddenly downshift to 1st gear
Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going. Ford's F-Series pickups are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S. Ford says in documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety...www.yahoo.com

He’ll never get over it.Chevys - Cam lifters, transmission failures, engine management system failures
Ford - Cam phasers, heater blender cores, manifolds, etc
None of those were ever offered to be covered by recall even though more trucks than not got them.
While I am sorry that 18 years ago you didn’t get your aftermarket leaf spring purchase reimbursed, Toyota did mine on my 16 and replaced my needle bearing that went out because I lifted my truck.
My 99 Classic (98 leftover) GMC Sierra Z71 4x4 has 91k miles on it.For just a good power train and easy on the wallet the 90s z71 with 350 vortec if you can find low miles.
There’s one near me in mint condition with 88000 on it.
Its high at 21500 but not crazy considering.
Someone is stuck on "it's a great deal" versus "this is a good vehicle". You could sell him used TP if you said it was 90% off.
