Honestly, I think the only thing keeping me from getting the Tundra over the Titan is the price...

I'm too poor to buy cheap......




Seriously-Toyota makes a really excellent truck. Get something that'll last-you won't regret it.  ;)

Not one complaint about my '04 F150. I plan to keep it until it either stops running or the cab rots off the frame.  [thumbsup]

Only reason I want to get rid of mine is that I really need a 4WD for up here and the back (supercab) is getting a bit small for the kids. I need a full size back seat...

tundra all the way! the only reason i dont have one already is that its not a diesel.

the titan is hideous. i have heard really good thing about the new F150, but i am a little gun shy of american vehicles at the moment.
Why? The F-150 was only the best selling vehicle in the US last year. Oh yeah, it's been number 1 for the past 26 years as well. Just because GM and Chrysler are begging for your tax dollars to pay their ridiculous fees to the UAW scumbags, that doesn't mean you can't trust Ford!

McDonald's makes a better hamburger than my mom because they sell more of them? Really?

Oh, and for all you Tundra fanboys, I personally manufactured the carpet for 1/3rd of ALL Tundra's from the year they were launched until 2007, and they use CHEAP CRAP for their interiors! I worked for Collins and Aikman Inc. in  Old Fort NC for 11 years and have personally molded interior carpet for practically any vehicle you see on the road today. Toyota uses cheap material and Jacks the price up because they have the reputation as a dependable vehicle. My $0.02.

No.. but they probably make more money than your mom at selling burgers, don't they?

True, but you can't argue with the numbers, now can you?

Unlikely-my mom hasn't asked for a government bailout.  ;D

The F150 has been the best selling because they have a large loyal customer base and are the best priced (read lowest) full size trucks on the market.
I can say this cause I own one.  ;D

And are you happy with yours? Look, I personally like the Titan, But I have two friends who own Tundras and can't stand them.

OK, I think all of us are getting off the subject. Let's get back to discussing the pros and cons of each so I can make an informed decision...
