(Disclaimer: I do not have personal experience with either of these) This is one of those rarest of occasions where I would take the Ford over the Toyota. The Raptor is NOT just an F-150 with nice tires and stripes--it has a full custom suspension designed for extreme articulation. The Yota, as I understand it, is basically the stock truck with some mild upgrades. Quality-wise, I haven't dealt with the newest Fords, but I have been around plenty of fairly recent models, and EVERY ONE had problems with interior equipment, whether steering column electrics, ignition switch, door seals, door warning switches, window switches, etc.. Toyota (as with nearly all Japanese makes) rarely has any issues where the driver interacts with the vehicle--their switches will still work just fine 20 years from now. Still, given the wealth of changes to the Raptor over pretty much all other offerings of light trucks, I think it would be worth the risk to experience all that suspension and drivetrain fun. Oh, and as for the frame issue--it sounds pretty clear that the damaged ones were in the hands of morons who expected the truck to be something it's NOT--a fully caged and gusseted trophy truck. I doubt you'd EVER see an issue there, even with fairly hard use. Anyway, that's my two cents worth...
