I’m seriously considering the Tacoma come June. That said, I’m hearing a lot of good things about the new F-150.
I’ll probably go back and forth ten times between now and June....lol

I love my Toyota Tundra...I can’t imagine owning any truck but a Toyota!

I’m a little surprised by this, considering how expensive Tundras are. Then again, it’s not like Rams are a whole lot cheaper. I own a 1996 Ram with 162,000 miles on it and I’d love to get another one someday, but their prices are simply insane. It was bad enough paying $23,000 thirteen years ago for a decently-equipped but not super-luxe rig. The same truck now would probably go for near $35,000 to $40,000. And Tundras are even pricier.

Sad that foreign pickups are now surpassing American made.
At least Toyota makes a lot of vehicles in the USA...though much of that wealth ends up being sent back to Tokyo....

We have a diesel motor home and are selling our Wrangler to one of our grands. We need a vehicle that can be flat-towed and have been looking at the Ford Ranger. Anyone with advice, or suggestions, have at it.

If you shop around, you can find a loaded Dodge for much, much less than that. Dealers have more than a 150 day supply of Chrysler products. Nobody’s getting even close to list price.

I haven't checked the prices on the new Toyota's, but in 2004 I bought a new V8 Tundra SR5 TRD model for 24,000. I wouldn't trade it for anything (except maybe another Tundra)

The Ranger can be flat-towed and while it’s fairly reliable, it is the oldest design on the market and does not handle, drive, or tow (or do anything) as well as the newer competition.

the Tundra is a great truck. But I love my 2005 Dodge Durango. Much roomier than an Explorer, but smaller and more fuel efficient than an Expedition (I get 17-18 mgp mixed city\hwy). I’d hate to see Chrysler go out of business. That new Challanger, especially the one with the 6.1 Hemi is SMOKIN’.
To: UCFRoadWarrior
The Tundra is made in Texas, the Ram is made in Mexico.
Most of that wealth stays here, the profit margins on cars is very small. And of course, if you are not making a profit, it doesn’t go anywhere.
Buy a Ram = All your money goes to Mexico. It doesn’t come back.
Buy a Tundra = Most of your money goes to Texas and employs Americans, a small percentage goes to Japan.

We bought a Tacoma a little over a year ago. We LOVE it. First time hubby bought foreign. Just under $20,000.

You could always buy Toyota stock and keep some of that wealth at home.

Let me guess, been wondering why it took you so long? :D
Also, your Tacoma was probably produced in California, not Japan.

Between those two, I’d go with the F150 if I were in the market. It seems with small/midsize pickups you gain nothing in fuel economy and lose a lot in payload and towing capacity, at least if you’re buying a truck because you plan to use it as one.
Haven’t seen much in the way of reviews, but on paper the new F150 looks like a really good truck.

Give me some examples, please. I know very little about trucks. Gas mileage is more important than size or typical truck functions. We have a Subaru Outback (which I love) but it can't be flat-towed and I really don't want to have to deal with a trailer.
