I am looking for service experience with Ford F150, 250 and Toyota Tundra 4x4s. Probably 5.4L engine in the Fords and 5.7L in the Tundra. I am in the market and trying to get the +/- and things to look out for. Common stuff to expect?

I will be using it for daily driver, electrical contracting (light hauling), a little offroad 4x4, and perhaps to tow the race car (6) trips a year for 300mi/trip, say 7k pounds.

Let me know your opinions and experience.

Shaun,

Gotta be ready for anything, you never know. Especially would be nice to know I could recover my vehicle without expensive towing. Yeah, probably street tires, but doesn't keep stuff from breaking.

I have gotten some consistent negative feedback from mechanics on the Fords, so I may need to open myself up to other options. While I am not a fan of the new Chevy styling, I could get a recent used one before the body change. Also didn't consider the Nissan Titan, but maybe I should. Dodge is out due to my Durango experience.
