so after looking at every truck in my price range and reading up on them... the Tundra came out on top for what I "need."
Tow a little Honda and Jeep, haul a little trash and wood, be reliable...
the 5.4L fords fall on their face (modular engine issues plus weaker transmissions) and I cant get an Ecoboost for the my budget. I cant find a 6.0 chevy 2500 (with the upgraded trans) that doesn't have a ton of miles or a lift (or both) in my price range. the 5.3L chevy doesn't cut it for power or trans life. While Evan might have had a lot of good luck with his Titan, I've read too many issues that have chased me away from it. I can find Tundras in my price range and they are getting great life span reviews from mostly weekend warriors (car and boat guys)... AND they can be found where people didn't really use them for ANYTHING other than going to work and getting groceries.
