Truck opinion

[B-Stealth]

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.

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.

[speck cc]

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!

My 07 GMC gets 13mpg on a good day. Trying to keep my oil field buddies in business.

Always been a dodge man, (had 13 of them) switched to a ford6 months ago. ( first auto trany I have ever onwend) I get 17 just running and 9 pulling anything, just around and driving gravel roads 15.5 . It's a 15 fwd. Deisel f dully, got 22k on it and no problems or complaints yet!! Other then missing my cluch and shifting gears.

[Crankbait36]

Andy get back to us after 100000 miles so we can see if you feel the same way! I have a 11 Dodge diesel that has 195000 miles on it all pulling, and have only had Def problems, and am waiting on Ac compressor for it now! The problems with all new diesels are EPA guidelines on exhaust!
