Bye Bye Tacoma, Hello F150

Wait till you have to change the spark plugs! My dad had to today and the ford dealership wanted $1000 for it! Raffield tires did it for $450.

Still a lot of money though!

aside from my taco and tercel, only chevy's would do it for me. Best of luck with that ford and having your model replaced in a couple of years.

No consideration to the Tundra?? (sry, didnt read every page of post if already discussed)

 

Good luck with the truck man.
For the HATERS, I would like to see YOU go to the dealership, put 30 k for a new truck and then have to go to the dealership 11 times in 8 months to fix problems. And can't take it on the weekends because the techs don't work on the weekends. So loose hours and hours of work. I used to do the same, every time that my old truck broke down, the only difference is that now I have 25k less in my checking account.

Sorry about your problems with your Tacoma. I have had 4 or 5 new Tacomas and all of them were super trucks.

Yes, I did have the TSBs done, but at least Toyota fixed the stuff and made it right.

The Ford F-150 is just to big for me and my needs now and the present Ford Ranger is a very old design )new design coming soon).

Good luck with your new F-150, and yes, that new 5.0L has gotten some great reviews and I hope that it holds up as well as predicted.

Overall, I have much better luck with Toyota Tundras and especially Toyota Tacomas than their American counterparts.

I bought a 2011 Tacoma and am selling my "Cherry 2009 Tacoma" and it is bringing just a few thousand less than I paid for it new.
You can't do that with a Ford, Chevy or especially a Dodge.
IMO, the only main thing that Dodge has going for it is the Cummins diesel which is the finest diesel for a any pickup at this point.

i actually like the look of some of the 2011 ford f150's but yours is just fugly. somebody beat that truck with an ugly stick

 

lol finally someone else who buys old rigs too .... everything ive ever had has been a minimum of 9 yrs old

 

people and there f series bullshit. last time i checked toyota was a best selling manufacturer. dont know if hey are right now. but this guy needs to bounce because i believe he is in the wrong forum. and not bragging? are you mentally challenged? saying the tacoma was a pos and fords are the best. again next time make sure you type in the right url because this is for toyota Enthusiasts not dumb asses. people theses thinking their shit dont stink

 

Why it cost that much to change? even $450 sounds ridiculous, just do um yourself

 

Don't blame him...

Ford came out with a V6 that has 100hp more than ours AND gets better MPG and you can get a decent new 2011 f-150 right now for cheaper than a new taco, with better towing and a nicer and more spacious interior.

I'd just be a little wary of ford's new engine, there's bound to be some kinks that need to be worked out on it.

Can you imagine if they put a comparable engine (to the eco-boost) in the tacoma?

 

Isn't a full size like an F150 with only a V6 going to be a dog?

Is this V6 available on a truck with the same features as my Tacoma...? Or do you have to get a stripped down fleet-style truck..?

 

Well, here's one more....

Found On Reef Dead........




Not hatin tho, could happen to any brand with the wrong driver, lol.....GLWNT (good luck with new truck)

 

I was looking at the bags but didn't want to screw with the stripped fitting you mentioned in your for sale ad.

Maybe take care of that and then sell? either way, good luck, and nice truck bud...

 

Damn that sucks. Looks like that tacoma ad they ran for the first generation. I wonder what tool that they could really do that shit.

 

Good luck with the Ford.. They have made great strides. Now if they redesign the Ranger they may steal some more Toyota mavens. Toyota is struggling to maintain their reputation in the face of the onslaught of quality from Domestic builders.

Resale will still be there......but only if the Tacoma proves worthy of it going forward. You cannot live on the past forever It works both ways........(see Hyundai)

 

Haha not the new ones. In fact there paint is much better than toyota's, at least my paint scratches by just looking at it.

 

then get a fuckin ford

 

Ford spelled backwards = Driver Returned On Foot!

 

What problems did you have with your Tacoma?

 

Congrats on the new truck, hope you enjoy it and everything works out for you. I looked at the f150's before I bought my second taco.

and tacomas dont rust? im pretty sure there have been ton of 1st gen tacomas get bought back for frame rust. Ive seen several threads talking about bad rust on their 2nd gens too...

calm down nancy...
