Truck opinion
 

Keep going back and forth and back and forth. Can't decide on the f250 king ranch or the tundra 1794 edition. Any helpful opinions would be appreciated.

Depends if....

You wanna haul a truck bed full of a arse stuff like dead deer, kegs of beer, power tools n naked chicks .

Or

You wanna haul a truck bed full of fried rice, karate kid DVDs and calculators

Just sayin

Lmao. Well said

That Tundra urrrgly, and isn't half the truck the F250 is - how'd you narrow it down to those 2? Leather color or just like trucks named after ranches?

Stay away from diesel!

Coworker trading his f250 in on a tundra today.
If you don't need a diesel, you don't want a diesel.

Have the f150 king ranch and love the interior and was dead set on the 250 but dr some reason keep going back to that toyota.

This post is Amiri King approved! Lol

Think a new model Tundra is due soon, might want to wait

If you like dropping $1500 to $6000 on Maint on a truck that's under warranty go buy the f250, you'll get your money's worth!

I went from a tundra to a KR F350....... just saying...... opinions go both ways

Last time a ford jumped something it landed on a d....k.

If u want to haul a big load get the Ford.

If u want to swallow a big load get the Toyota.

All I can say is if you don't need a diesel don't get one.

toyota is supposed to have a diesel on 2016 models

Besides hauling a tractor a few times a year for food plots I don't NEED a f250. But I don't NEED a lot of crap I have

I can buy any truck I want ..... But I still buy ford f150 xlt , I get 4x4, biggest motor availble, have them add leather ,bigger all terrains , leveling kit , and now I'm gonna have them do rubber floor boards . I destroy my trucks . Plus I see no value in getting a "platinum" or "King ranch" for me , I don't care what people think if I drive a xlt . I use my truck to work out of . Might be different if me working out of it didn't get it covered in mud inside / out , scratched to hell n back etc . I will admit my wife's suv has air conditioned seats n I like having a cool sack when I drive . That would be the only reason to change trucks to something nicer if xlt can't get seat air

Ball coolers are the (•) (•)'s

For some guys it's trucks that do it for them
Some guys like guns

I just see no value in spending tgat on a truck when I litterally destroy them . Ask southern 151 how many times he's done body work on my truck .... The truck is actually at his shop while we speak lol!!!

Now hunting and fishing ! That's a whole different story . I spend stupid money shooting critters and never think twice about it .

I prefer the shorter bed and reliability of the toyota.

I keep my trucks for a longtime(current is 8 years old)so don't have problems spending good money getting what I want knowing I will have it for a while.

Trust me, I have been hearing that song and dance for the last 10 yrs, no lie, not bust ur balls, its more of calling wolf to me now. like I said I just went from a Tundra to F350.

In all fairness the only routine maint increase I have encountered are TWO fuel filter every 22K and 12qt oil as apposed to 8. but the Tundra was changed every 5K and the f350 tells me when and it averages 7-8K

I did get a extended bumper to bumper to 120K.

I too keep trucks along time, had the tundra since 2007 when the new and bigger ones came out, until last year, got the F350

IF your interested in the F250, PM me and Ill tell you anything you want between the two

i hear ya ,i try to run my into the ground as well .... if i dont total em lol

Toyota Tundra hands down over a Ford.

You can get an F250 without getting a diesel.

Every American made vehicle I've ever owned was a bad choice, including trucks.

Every Japanese vehicle I've owned was a good choice. I figure about twice the live span (miles and years) and half the repair costs of the American vehicles.

I prefer SUVs to trucks now, I can use a trailer for the occasional hauling and the SUVs carry more passengers more comfortable and also carry a lot of dry cargo.

Don't forget the tundras are made in MERICA!!! I'd take a Tundra over an f250 everyday of the week not for engine choices but just for resale and overall longevity and reliability.

Bottom line though is go test drive them both and keep an open mind about what you will be using the truck for on a daily basis. When i moved to the big city from the country I wanted a truck that could fit 5 adults comfortably. As weird as it sounded the choices came down to a dodge megacab diesel or a honda ridgeline. I ended up going with the ridgeline because the ride, price, reliability, features. All pulled me that way. Sure I could have gone dodge megacab but it just was overkill for my needs.
140,000 miles later and I'm still happy with my Ridgeline. Go test drive both and see which one ya like bro. Don't worry about what we all say.

I own a tundra and it has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.

If all you want is the cowhide seats look into katskinz. You can get cowhide without the terrible wood grain.

Truck opinion
 

I had a 2012 F250 and traded it in before it hit 50k miles. Stayed in the shop. My buddy had same exact truck. Same color and everything. Kept telling me I must have got a lemon. Then I see him 3 months later and he's in a GMC Duramax. He said "You were right! That POS F250 left me on the side of the road before 75k miles." The F150s are nice trucks though. Like everyone saying, if you don't have to have a diesel, don't get one. An F250 sure is the best "looking" truck out there but they just can't figure out how to make those diesels run right with all the new EPA regs.

Tundras are nice but they fugly!!

Tuff Tundra
 

Hey man I got one of them Tundras and it's a bad some of a gun, I pull 15k all the time with no problem and average 14mpg towing and 22mpg without 15k trailer. I will challenge any KingRanch in a towing contest cause my Tundra is bad to the bone.

hahahaha you made me spite out my coffee!!:rotfl:

Lol, average 14mpg hauling 15k? I think the computer is misleading you...

Thanks for the input, guys.

Super Tuff Tundra
 

Well I admit the fuel efficiency is better when I set the computer to kilometers; I think it adjust the engine timing or something but it "feels" stronger.

Right now I have an 09 Tacoma. 120k miles and I'm not getting another vehicle until 2019. Runs strong and tows great. When it does come time I'll be getting a tundra.

Don't forget the new titan xd diesel too
It's not bad looking and has one of those midsize diesel engines in it. kind of like the dodge diesel 1500

I'm Southern151 and, I approve this message.

That truck is friggin' nasty and, yes, I think he has deliberately destroyed this truck!:rotfl:

Lol

What ya need to get ya is one of these Chevy Silveraydos

Some cars use a device that can advance the valve timing. This does not keep the valves open longer; instead, it opens them later and closes them later. This is done by rotating the camshaft ahead a few degrees. If the intake valves normally open at 10 degrees before top dead center (TDC) and close at 190 degrees after TDC, the total duration is 200 degrees. The opening and closing times can be shifted using a mechanism that rotates the cam ahead a little as it spins. So the valve might open at 10 degrees after TDC and close at 210 degrees after TDC. Closing the valve 20 degrees later is good, but it would be better to be able to increase the duration that the intake valve is open

Several engine manufacturers are experimenting with systems that would allow infinite variability in valve timing. For example, imagine that each valve had a solenoid on it that could open and close the valve using computer control rather than relying on a camshaft. With this type of system, you would get maximum engine performance at every RPM. Something to look forward to in the future...

The Tundra uses a Double Overhead Cams (DOHC), a 32-valve head design and Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing.

Overhead camshaft (OHC) valvetrain configurations place the camshaft within the cylinder heads, above the combustion chambers, and drive the valves or lifters directly instead of using pushrods. When compared directly with pushrod (or OHV) systems with the same number of valves, the reciprocating components of the OHC system are fewer and in total will have less mass. Though the structures that support the system may become more complex, most engine manufacturers easily accept the added complexity in trade for better engine performance and greater design flexibility. The OHC system can be driven using the same methods as an OHV system, these methods may include using a timing belt, chain, or in less common cases, gears.
Many OHC engines today employ Variable Valve Timing and multiple valves to improve efficiency and power. OHC also inherently allows for greater engine speeds over comparable cam-in-block designs.

Tundra Power
 

Ok, I forgot to add that I have a few aftermarket parts. I run a K&N air filter, split fire spark plugs, optima battery, and Royal Purple engine oil. These components combined together add atleast 70hp.

The other day I outran my cousins buddies Mustang in a drag race, and that thing is fast.

Well that explains it.................;)

Tundra VS F-250
 

Lol I forgot to add the Flow-Master pipes as well they add like 45hp. Before anyone was serious and gonna lie about what there truck can pull and there mpg I figured I would get that out of the way. I mean what's a truck comparison thread without some absurd mpg claim.

I do own a 2010 4X4 Tundra 5.7 and I love it but it have never done any of the things I mentioned above. It will maybe get 22mpg going downhill with a tailwind.

As far as comparing the Tundra to a F-250 King Ranch I say get the Ford Raptor; obviously $$ is not a real big factor and you don't need the F-250.

Any pros/con of the non-Diesel F250?

My 2007 Tundra never got better then 14, maybe 15 on a good day.

My Tundra was an awesome truck, was the first 1/2 ton that could pull over 12k, now its the norm with all 1/2 tons. When I got ride of it with 130K miles I didn't have a single problem with it. But I needed a true 4 door cab and long bed, as well I needed more pulling capacity. You can not get a full size 4 door with a long bed in the Tundra. A lot of my heavy towing are in the Ozarks in N Arkansas. I needed a diesel to tackle those mountains with a load. If you don't NEED a diesel, don't get one. for all my day to day commuting I drive a 1990 Honda civic

i have a 2014 tundra with 21k miles... never had a single issue... right now i'm averaging 16.1 mpg. no way i'll buy a ford as long as they make the tundra.

look at it this way... if you buy a tundra and then a year later figure you needed a diesel, your resale will be high enough that you wont lose too much... if you buy a f250 diesel and decide you don't really need a diesel, you will lose your *** on resale!

I had a 2010 Tundra and was lucky to get 14 mpg, pulling my boat about 9. I just bought an f250 and get 15mpg pulling my boat and on the highway, that's with 35" tires.

Bought the f250 today. Final deciding factor was wife once a camper in the next couple years and didn't want to go thru this process again.

Boom! Good choice!
