2011 F-150 vs 2011 Tundra

Do the regular F150s have the same frame as the Raptors? Because I remember A guy on a Raptor forum having a bent frame and couldn't get warranty work done to it. Personally I'd get the F150, they have history for the best selling truck. A F150 was my first truck, (2000) it had it's problems. Shitty transmission, alternator went out 2 times, power locks stop working, and A/C problems. I don't know about quality with the new ones, but what I've heard Ford really addressed that problem and stepped up on quality.

 

This video proves nothing. All objects have a resonance frequency. If you find the right frequency I bet most trucks will do this. While I do agree that this video make the truck look like shit I have a feeling toyota built in a little frame flex because it is a good thing.

 

A little? LOL.

The article that someone else linked says the TSB only applies to the 2007- 2010 tundras...but what about the 2011 trucks? are they already fixed?

 

Why all the tundra hate Drive both, you will make your mind up then. Tundra interior and handling are way better than f150 imo. I have also gotten 20 mpg mostly highway with my 5.7. 17 mixed. People with the 4.7 don't see much better and they have less power.

 

Take that video with a grain of salt. The guy above is right and any truck will do that with the right frequency. The frames are not as rigid as fords, but that is why it rides a little nicer too. Does not impact towing like all ford loves will make you think. And if you youtube ford and chevy videos you will see chevy completely ripping apart ford in some of their frame and endurance tests. The TSB was for something different. No offense, but visit a tundra forum if you have questions about them. 99% of tacoma owners have never even been inside a tundra.

 

Here's an answer for the Raptor folks

Correct and also the F-150 HAD super crew with 6.5 ft bed vs the rest with shorter wheelbases...it was done by ford not an independent lab

 

I hear that most F-150s are built in mexico, while all if not most Toyota truck are built in the states...

 

My rear diff was assembled in Mexico... my FIRST rear diff.

 

Wait till next year. 2012 F150's will have the MYFordTouch program. Its awesome. If you like bells and whistles

 

The 2nd gen Tundras originally did not have a fully boxed frame. Toyota fixed the issue.

 

So the new 2011 Tundras now have a fully boxed frame?

My pop is leaning more for the Tundra anyways, lol he cited the cruise control setting fire to Fords

 

I'm pretty sure the frame is boxed around the engine, then C channel after that.

 

What did toyota do to fix the bed bounce issue then?

 

"The TSB applies only to Double Cab Tundras and involves replacing the rear body mount bushings with new, upgraded units"

from http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/28/toyota-finally-addresses-tundra-bed-bounce-with-tsb/

 

Yes, I know, we're planning to get a double cab model too. So in the new 2011 models this TSB has already been applied?

 

I don't trust the numbers Ford puts on paper.

 

I wouldn't make assumptions

 

Definitely man! If I where to move up to a full size truck I would get an F-150.

 

Ugh I don't want to deal with this bed bounce issue when I get the truck and the TSB only goes up to 2010 models...
