Just bought a Tundra myself. I didn't get 0% financing (6 years at 1.9%, I think it was - though I'll have this paid off inside of 2 years, making triple/quadruple payments). What I DID get: - lifetime engine warranty - 100K tranny warranty - 4 years - all maintenance covered

So, I literally just traded in my 2013 F150 for a 2020 Tundra; prior to the 2013 F150, I owned a 2004 F150. Here's my take. I actually had no 'real' issues, in a sense, with either of my F150s. Both of them ran for miles (230K and still running on the 2004; 124K or so on my 2013). I didn't...

Don’t cry, I’m back, sort of. And the wife now owns a Highlander....and has her sights eventually set on a 4Runner. :)

I will now pause for the complete lack of applause. :p Several years ago I’d joined up when I bought a 2000 4Runner SR5. (CoB may remember me....I’d replaced the front brakes with Tundra brakes, the steering gear, and the rear trailer wiring.) I then traded it in on a 2013 F150. *facepalm*...

Maybe it's about to let go with a huge fart. Seriously though, mine did the same - was the rear diff. fluid being low.

LMAO! Dude - no lie, when I sold it, I thought to myself "CoB's gonna be ticked - he was the one who pushed me to open the build thread." Like I said, though, I can totally see picking up another 3rd gen (or even 4th gen) in a year or two or so; much as I like my F150, I wouldn't use it for...

Wow. No kidding! Although it'd actually been 2 years and some change from when I bought it. I got it in October 2010, and didn't actually start the build thread until a year later, for some odd reason. Despite all the balancing issues with it, I still/already miss it. Don't get me wrong - I...

LOL! I still plan on being a member here (unless you guys run me out) - other bulletin boards don't compare. :) And this won't be the last time I'm in a 4Runner...I can pretty much guarantee that.

My face when watching them drive away the 4Runner. (Only half kidding)

I know, right? Half of me is happy that I've got a nice new vehicle; the other half is sad that I don't get to screw around with and build up the 4Runner. I can tell you, though, that it was this thread and the mods that got me such a good deal. They flat out told me "Normally anything over...

...aaaand it's gone. (The 4Runner, that is.) We'd been wanting to get a truck for a long time; and right now there are crazy deals. We walked into the local Ford dealership (some dislike their vehicles, but the last 3 we've owned have been rock solid - in fact, my older 2004 F150 is now with...

MSRP for what I want (2013 F150 SuperCrew 4x4) is probably about $38K. Around here, due to the whole end of year thing, you can get them for as low as $29.5K or so (2013, 4x4 Supercrew, either EcoBoost or 5.0, with the XLT trim). If I trade in my old truck (2004 F150) that'd bring it down to...

I would normally agree...but that being said, in 160K+ miles on my 2004 F150, I've had to replace a battery and the right rear blinker light. LOL That's IT. Plus the local Ford dealership here actually is EXCELLENT (and support is everything) and the local Toyota dealership is not. LOL I'd...

I hope so, because in all truthfulness, I've done d@mn near everything that can be done, and if THIS doesn't fix it....2013 F150 5.0 SuperCrew 4x4. LOL
