Best half ton truck on the market
I have owned both Ford and Chevy trucks. The Ford had 21,000 miles on it when it was purchased, the Chevy was new. Both of them had inexcusable problems. The Chevy had transmission issues within two months of purchase, and it was a manual transmission. I had to argue with the dealer about the cost of repair and still ended up paying on repairs for the next 45K miles. The Fords differential died at about 89K miles, and a month later the transmission went belly up. It cost nearly 900.00 for differential repairs and about 3200.00 to get yanked off the highway and have a Jasper transmission flown in from Oklahoma. The Chevy was a commuter vehicle only. The Ford towed a travel trailer occasionally. Being an easy on the gas pedal driver none of these problems should have been problems.
The Toyota Tundra is a completely different beast. I’ve owned two and they have given me zero issues. I went from a 2012 to a 2018. I was able to get a thirty-eight gallon fuel tank and some additional equipment on it to improve its towing capability. I do all necessary maintenance, by the book, and it just keeps going. Not so with Chevy or Ford. The Tundras don’t seem to rust out either provided you keep it clean. Tundras wheel wells are lined to prevent stones from causing damage. Look under most Fords and Chevys and you see painted metal, period. A few trips down an unsaved road and you have a rust farm. Do the research, you will see how well the Tundras hold up. There are many Tundras out there that have made the million mile mark and are still going strong. For those that are pro USA vehicles the Tundras are built in Texas. As long as I need a truck I will always own Tundras. Any vehicle will eventually have some repairs but a whole lot less with Toyota.
