    Everything that will break won't even be included in the warranty.
    Warranty is useless..that truck would be headin to the dealership on Tuesday if I had it in my hands tomorrow(Sunday).
    ;)


    and I love your lowered DC longbed smashin through the sand ;)

    I vote keep the tacoma, more practical truck, i like the raptor but ive heard they have been having some problems with the frame strength, if you go with a ford id go with their new ecoboost 150, those on the other hand ive only been hearing good about

    I have to admit that the Raptor looks like a pretty sick truck, but I personally would never own a Ford vehicle. Although the quality of Toyota trucks aren't as great as it once was, they are still a million times better than the competition, in my honest opinion.

    This is what I see...

    Horrible gas mileage
    Weak frame
    Ford build quality (argue all you want but these trucks spend more time in the shop for BS and recalls)
    EXPENSIVE

    Get what you want. the F150 has been in the top of the lists of best selling vehicles of all times....I'd say that bares out a pretty good reputation. If I need a full size truck i would buy the Ford over the Tundra all day long,
