Said what? Half ton trucks arenāt meant to haul 5th wheels? I guess youāre right but didnāt realize people were arguing itā¦If it can't safely handle a gooseneck pin its just an SUV with a box.
That's right, I said it.![]()

That 06 I just sold had 125k on it. Didnāt drive it much since it was a show truck. Being 20 years old and low miles I actually got more for the truck then it cost brand new. Crazy what pre emmisons diesel bring.If you had a truck for twenty years and only put 110k on it, then I'm jealous. I drive that many miles in 3.5 - 4 years. It looks like the MSRP on new F450's is 80 - 110k, so that's not really an apples to apples comparison.
Yeah it would've been nice if the government hadn't got involved with diesel pickups and screwed things up. I haven't owned one in a while but I my 2011 F250 with the 6.7 was a lot of fun after I had it deleted and straight piped. I've heard it's hard to even find anyone to do that these days.That 06 I just sold had 125k on it. Didnāt drive it much since it was a show truck.

Ya I wonāt own another modern day one. Iāve had prolly 15 second and 3rd gen. I think my truck buying, fixing, flipping days are over. Just lost interest over the years.Yeah it would've been nice if the government hadn't got involved with diesel pickups and screwed things up.

Guys that drive pickups with 8-lug wheels, thereās something about Toyota that makes them really insecure and irritable. I try to emphasize; I imagine the maintenance cost, continual recalls, warranty cost, and bad resale value can be quite taxing.
What is it about facts you find so threatening?Toyota stands behind their products, (cue some dude whining about his leaf springs) I wouldnāt be worried.

I feel like Scott Jennings on this thread...LOL
That's because I paved the way by telling them their springs were sh!t, which they arrogantly denied.Its like a fly to shit every single Toyota post.
Toyota gave me new leaf springs for free when I complained about them squeaking. Then I promptly took them off and put OME's on it.

You're welcome.
OME's minus the third leaf is what should have been on there to begin with.
If 2016 and 2017 were decades ago, you're absolutely right.The rear leaf packs, the rust issue, and the 3.0L are the only bad marks on Toyota'a resume, and you have to go back decades to get to those.
Meanwhile, Ford is issuing new recalls on what seems like a monthly basis, and now they will openly state in the notification letter that there is a safety risk and they have no solution, standby.
I think youāre right. But youre so fast to beat up Toyota and black list them forever while recommending fordās. Do you remember the 6.0 debacle? Why havenāt you written off ford? I promise more people got burned by that piece of shit than the rust issues on the Tacoma beds.If 2016 and 2017 were decades ago, you're absolutely right.
The problems go back much further but they refused to acknowledge them until threatened with a class-action lawsuit.
Ford has it's share...My friend bought a used 2018 Edge 2.0 Eco with 88k miles...coolant in the cylinders=new engine on Ford's dime.I think youāre right.

My point being, if you took all the black eyes that Toyota and ford have had since 2005, who would have more by percentage? Nobody can argue ford has a laundry listā¦so why do they get a pass?
What about the toolbags with their 20ā exhaust caps rolling coal with their tow mirrors extended while making trips to the local brewery?Ford has it's share...My friend bought a used 2018 Edge 2.0 Eco with 88k miles...coolant in the cylinders=new engine on Ford's dime.
I guess Ford gets a pass because they aren't a cult of fanbois that parade around on pavement with their snorkels and overwattage amber foglights begging for attention and are actually capable of work without mods.
Who cares? The OME Dakars are the springs to get, and it's a cheap fix.The problems go back much further but they refused to acknowledge them until threatened with a class-action lawsuit.
True...Let's throw 90% of Harley riders in the mix...But to deny that Toyota needs mods right of the lot to do anything but soccer practice is ignoring the idea of a truck.What about the toolbags with their 20ā exhaust caps rolling coal with their tow mirrors extended while making trips to the local brewery?
Thereās not a brand out there that doesnāt have a segment of owners that give the brand a bad name. That shouldnāt impact oneās feelings on the durability of a vehicle.

I wish my Ford had only a single issue and it was that cheap and simple to address. Instead, I'll wind up paying more money to replace the Ford TPMS sensors than I paid for the new leaf packs I put in my Tacoma. For some reason, Toyota can make TPMS sensors that last over 10 years and are still working, but Ford can only make them to last about 5 years before they stop working and need replacing. This is just one of many similar items.
