Anybody else on the fence between a tacoma and a F-150

You're a great contributor to TacomaWorld. Keep it up.

 

i was checking out F150s, but damn if they lack dackers. i need dackers.

 

I have a 2014 ram dually diesel that will be kept for pulling trailers, new truck would be daily driver. Just tired of the dually everyday.

 

Yeah well ive worked for Ford since 2004. So take it as you may.

 

I try

 

Still driving a Toyota.

 

What the hell kind of truck are you looking at for $49,000 invoice? Do you mean sticker?

 

F150 wouldnt fit in my garage. Wife has a 15 Fusion SE Ecoboost

 

The Tacoma will sell above invoice, the f-150 will sell a few grand below invoice.

 

What dealership? I need to make a call to build a relationship with their fleet department.

We have been using Park Cities Ford for the past 5 years but if this dealer is letting these vehicles go for that low I need to build another relationship.

 

I'd still never drive a Ford.

Ever.

 

If you are shopping around I work for Five Star in Lewisville and can put you in touch with one of our fleet guys.

 

I got my Tacoma in December 2015 for below invoice.

 

I just downsized from a 2102 F150 ecoboost. I loved it, but we are moving to a bigger city and the f150 was modded out a little to big for that area. Plus I won't be hauling people as much anymore so i didn't need the cab space. my last two vehicles were a dodge ram and an f150 but before that every vehicle I had was a Toyota. I was on the fence about downsizing with only 100k on my tuck but then I had a major break down and at the same time had a friend call me to tell me they just saw my car from highschool drive past them (it was pretty easy to identify). that car was a toyota corolla. It has to have at least 350k on it now. Just hearing that reminded me how long lasting these vehicles are. That being said. there will always be exceptions to everything. You will have high milage f150's and tacomas that crap out early. But fingers crossed my new tacoma lasts as long as my old corolla!

 

Less than a month old and 20% depreciatio. Crap. By the end of the year I'll pick up one half price just for the hell of it

 

This. My 2015 taco was one them that crapped out early and often so it had to go. I recognized I just got a bad apple in the group and cut my losses. Unlike a certain member on here who cries fucking constantly like a little bitch who had their binky stolen

 

Ill keep you in mind for the next set of Texas vehicles we have. We have a pretty strong relationship with Park Cities so it would take some very good pricing for us to shop elsewhere but its always good to have another contact in the area but so far, our contact at Park Cities has been one of the best.

 

Im in wholesale parts sales but I have a good connection with our fleet department.

 

Im not making your truck payment so I wont tell you what to drive. We've put a little over 30k miles on our Fusion since March 15 and love it. Havent had a single issue out of it. All I can speak on is personal experience.
