Did someone say Quality? The new Blundra is on it's first of many recalls to come!!! Click HereThe recall report filed with NHTSA blames the loosening of certain nuts on the rear axle assembly and said, "If complete separation occurs, this can affect vehicle stability and brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash."

I've owned most all models of 1/2T crew 4x4 pickups in work fleets since early 2000's. The early 2000's Tundras were the best ones ever made, the Fords and GM's have been relatively trouble free with routine maintenance, and the new Ram's since 2000 run circles around any of them. My '20 Ecodiesel is kicking ass so far at 40k.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Everyday driving truck.............Ford F-150
Working truck.......................Ford F-250
Nothing else comes close. Boss drives a new F-150, running board fell off and got ran over on a job site the other day. Will have that fixed along with 3 recalls (so far) Ford Quality. Its all of them. Get a good one and you got a good one, get a POS and that's what you get for life. I take my chances w GM and have never had any real quality issues. Worst GM was an 03 that ate the factory front axle seals by 70k or so. New seals under warranty and all was well. No other issues. Worst Ford was a 15 F-350 that left me in the side of the road at around 70k, ate an AC compressor around 100k as well as a broken exhaust manifold at about the same time. Never had a Dodge. A bud brags on em but he never put over 40k on one. Hardly any kind of test.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

I'd be happy with either. Both are good trucks.

GMC Suburban and Yukon 4x4's were by far the most expensive vehicles to keep running. The quality of my 2000 Tundra 4x4 is head and shoulders above them.

NOT A CLUE how you only paid $65k... $65k + $43k??? with the 2012 Cummins $43k trade-in?...
FIND ME ONE IN REAL TIME...
All new Fords, Chevy and Dodge diesels are chasing the hell of of 6 figures. Build one anywhere... anytime... add Dealer mark-ups. One more time: I paid $65,000.00 with no trade, no dealer markup for the 2022 Chevy 3500 4x4 crew cab, Duramax, Allison 10 speed transmission, ordered to my specifications. Nothing more nothing less. What can’t you understand about that? How do you like it? They are nice looking trucks.

Just waiting to get all my parts for the steering, front axle rebuild parts, ball joints and drag l inks and brake parts. Just did a 2011 Ram front end... $2,700 turnkey for everything... these damn things suck $$$. Yes they suck. They really suck. It's costly just for the tools to work on them too. Dodge axle castle nuts need a torque wrench capable of 265ft lb and Ford's track bar requires 405ft lbs and then there's the tools for the axle seals. Man it adds up.

I currently have a ‘17 Tundra with about 107k on it. Had it two and a half years now, been thinking of going a different direction.
Mileage is not what I was hoping for, 15 at best, 13 and change is pretty normal. I’ve pulled double anhydrous tanks with it, probably shouldn’t be doing that though. It rides nice.
Probably gonna go back to a heavy duty GM or Dodge. Last Ford I had left me pretty soured on them.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Well I know I won't buy a Chevy next time. The 110 outlets can hardly run anything at all. The Ford has a more powerful inverter and can be used as a generator which would be nice to have at hunting camp

The only thing I miss about the Chevy, is there auto 4x4.
Their 5.3 is a dog compared to the tundras 5.7. Chevy should have never stopped putting the 5.7 in the 1/2 tons.
