    Congrats !! that sounds like a nice tow rig. Not many trucks get gr8 MPG while towing anyhow, so I wouldn't pay much attn to previous comments. You will be towing in style now and not pushing your taco to its limits. Have Fun !

    any pics of new truck?

    You guys are awful. Trying to pop the air out of his potato chip bag to make his chips stale. Poor guy is just happy he got a new truck.

    Shame on you. *shakes head*

    Good luck dude, if the truck works for you, fine. Just don't come on a Tacoma enthusiast forum bragging about a ford:rolleyes: Most of us chose the Tacoma for a reason!

    I'm the same boat as the OP. If I were to get another full sized truck, which I won't, but I'd I did it would be the same. Diesel would be an F250, but as for mid sized trucks nothing compares to the taco, even a couple full sized trucks hardly compete.

    On the "Death Wobble" - I'd offer to take the service manager out for a free lunch - and then see if he can keep it down on the way back! LOL

    :puke:

    For the OP, enjoy the new F-150. I had a '99 5.4 4x4 before the Taco. It was a good reliable truck on any day and it never failed to pull me out of some nasty a time or two.
