I have bought one new vehicle in my life. The current 2016 Tundra. All the others had the new worn off of them, but when I retired, I said I was going to buy one new vehicle in my life and that would be it. Did it.
I had a 2003 f350 6.0, That truck "when" it ran right was a baddass!! Keeping it right was putting me in the poor house!!
My Tundra .. upkeep, brakes, tires and oil!! Oh yeah , gas ,lots of gas LOL
Tons of info...... lots of them well over 100K..... f150ecoboost.net & f150forum.com. Nothing wrong with a Tundra.
Now you're talking, I wouldn't mind getting all Mad Max on this thing, but my MIL doesn't deserve that kind of awesomeness.
I've been a Ford Guy all my life. Still am. Love the line.
My wife said WTF when I bought the Tundra after a 351,000 mile record with a tacoma after a 300,000 + stretch with a Ford Bronco. We bought a 36' RV bumper pull RV upon retiring. The Tundra does a great job pulling on flatland. Drive line specs far exceed the F150.
The mountains may offer a different challenge.
A diesel may be in the future.
I was a Ford guy until they abandoned the faithful 7.3. I went to Cummins. Since then I've heard nothing but good about Fords most recent diesel. I guess there's plenty of folks willing to step up to a diesel if they need it cuz I often wonder why there is no gas motor that could compete with the ol 454 and 460.
My current truck:
We bought it so that we could pull our home:
For the most part, if I ever need a spare for the F450, I'd go with a Prius (Prissy is what I call them) over a smart car, any day. However, with the trailer hooked up, I couldn't carry a Prissy in the back of the truck.

One thing that I forget to add on the Prius-it has amazing passing capabilities-a lot of power in that regard. It WILL keep up with other cars on the road and you can go 80 all day long and laugh as you pass the gas stations. One tank of gas will take you to San Antonio without refueling! And when you do fill up the tank, take a look at the amount the previous person at that pump paid for a fill up. Some of those trucks as you probably know cost over $50 to fill. think of the money you could save so you could buy a nice gun!
