By the way a half-dozen years back I tried a Toyota Tacoma as well.
Sat low, suspension seemed a little sluggish, the upgraded six-speed manual transmission struggled to give me 16 mpg on the highway...and I am not a high-speed driver.
I figured the hell with it and traded for a Tundra, which also handles like a boat, but gives me at least as good mileage as the smaller pickup.
I’d like to go back to Ford but they haven’t changed the F-150s in ten years, have they?
I drove a rental F150 last year. Liked it a lot. Good handling, good power. Would buy.
You mean besides making the body/frame out of aluminum? That was the major change for 2016 for the F-150.
I have a 15 y.o. F-150 which is cruising right along. I have no need nor desire to replace it so I haven't followed the new truck market much but I believe that the 2015 model year was a major re-launch with the all-aluminum body and EcoBoost engines.
When you have a really solid design, there isn't much incentive to change things.
