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.

The Tundra is a POS. I know two people that have had them and both suffered a variety of problems, from computers, to odd noises, to service lights that didn't mean anything, and my one buddy had one of the ones that suffered cam failure.

The F150/250 on the other hand, it is a Ford truck. The one thing they do well. They last forever and you can get service or mod parts anyplace.

And that's what you get for buying the first model year and being an early adopter...

And the reason why I wouldn't buy a 1st year production ANYTHING either (yes even the 5th gen Camaro).

Now my father's tundra has only had one issue with the tire pressure sensors and it is used to tow Demo Derby cars all over NC.
