Not sure how I feel about the turbo'd V6's. Hard to beat the reliability that came with the 5.7. Too many whining about mileage all the time.


I agree with this. My 2020 Tundra TRD Pro (50,000 miles) and my wife's Sequoia (140,000) have been much more reliable for us than our GM and Ford vehicles. A few things I hate about the Tundra: 1.) it automatically locks the doors anytime I walk away from the truck. This gets annoying when working or unloading in hunting camp. I end up leaving the doors open to circumvent this, but then the cab fills with flies and mosquitoes; 2.) The stupid push-button start. Not sure what brilliant person dreamed this up, but it causes far more problems than it solves; 3.) no 3/4 ton; 4.) traction control system using brake pressure instead of a real limited slip or locking differential.

I'm trading my 2020 TRD for an F250 in few days. Kind of mixed emotions in that I think I'm going to miss the Tundra and really like the 5.7 despite the 16 MPG it usually gets. I would definitely stick with Toyota if they would offer the 2022 in a 3/4 ton.

Also, the worry about gearing is over-rated. Mine is a 4.30:1 but you need to factor in transmission gearing. Mine is under 2000 at 70 mph. With a higher-geared rear end, I would worry more about lugging at that speed given lower rpm.

You’ll throw rocks at the Tundra after you drive the new F-250.


I hope you're right for what those things cost!

l liked many of the features and comfort of my last two F150s more than my Tundra. I like the reliability that I and immediate family (wife, mom and dad) are seeing with Tundras, 4Runners and Sequoias. My parents tend to trade around 150,000 and never seem to have problems. My last two F150s turned to junk around 60,000 or I would still be driving them.

I haven't been around 3/4 ton diesels since the late 1990s when I was working for my dad's welding and machine business so the F250 will be a new experience for me.


The ride, the way they drive, the way they pull, and the fuel economy are way ahead of the outdated and overrated Tundra. And Ford’s 6.7 Diesel will Out pull and outrun every other Diesel engine on the road. You will absolutely love it, is my bet.
