2011 F-150 vs 2011 Tundra

I just did a quick little comparison on KBB for an 07 Tundra Double Cab SR5 (4 door, 6.5ft bed, 4x4, V8 4.7L, 50,000 miles, good condition) against an 07 F-150 SuperCrew Cab XLT (4 door, 6.5ft bed, 4x4, V8 4.6L, 50,000 miles, good condition) and the Tundra was worth about $1,000 more. So I'd say the Tundra has a slight edge in resale value.



In the end though I'd get a Tundra. I am a Toyota guy and I know the reliability is there.

 

I know toyota is having a really hard time selling tundras. That means you can really talk them down. Not sure about Ford, but I'm sure they will move down the price a bit.

 

Well, the Tundra might be a grand more because it's the current generation. The F-150 has changed since 2007. I'd expect that to have an effect.

 

Plus it depends on the options selected

 

of course it does, it's a toyota. tundra all over the ford, anyday.

 

F150's will not hold their value as well simply because of supply and demand. There are so many out there that as a seller they have to be priced to move. Other factors do effect resale, but that is the biggest reason.

 

How many of you guys actually have personal experience with a Ford or have ever owned one? eh

 

But what did they cost in 07? I bet the tundra was over $1000 more than the F-150 off the lot

 

Are you going to enlighten us with the whole year of driving experience you have... and yes is the answer to your question.

 

the new rams r looking serious...

 

That's a joke to put Dodge in the conversation, unless you don't mind a truck only lasting 2-3 years.

 

Yes driving experience is just where my post was going

 

No, but experience with owning vehicles and maintaining.

 

Owning yes, but maintenance I'm OCD about

 

x2 NO RAM. That's the truck we had before my tacoma (02 RAM 1500) and that's when we decided we wanted a reliable truck. Like I said toyotas have been in our family for a loonggg time, never a single problem.

The dodge went out right about 100K

 

I'd say get the truck that you like. As long as it does the job you need it for.

 

One of my customers has a F-150 Raptor and bent his frame...he said he wasnt beating on it hard at all cause it only has 12,000 mi on it...he couldnt believe it so he not sure if he going to gt rid of it or fix it and reinforce that area in frame...but that shouldnt of happened only reason why I said this cause they ride on same platform....oh I voted for tundra but F-150 look good to

That is the problem with the Tundra and Toyota still hasn't fixed it.

And that video is legit too, I've seen Tundras on bumpy roads here and their bed bounces considerably more than my truck or any other truck that I happen to see pass over the same bit of road.

 

I believe they have..

I really like the new F150s. Like Ford too.

I'd rather have the Tundra. The base model D/C 4.7 I had for a week or so as a rental was an awesome truck. The 5.7 4x4 would be badass.
