Toyotas suck. Yes a new tundra may beat an F-150, but they have a 5.7, not to mention 4:10 gears or lower is what they come with... Have you guys heard about the tailgates cracking or something like that b/c they were cheaply built?? Well anyways I think they are ugly, and I will stick with my F-150!

 

Oh hum, not this again.....

 

I have to agree, while i was in Afghanistan we had some of the Toyota Hilux (Pretty much like a Tacoma) and they took a beating.

But now here, we got all fords, mostly Deisel Rangers, but a lot of F-150's also (gas) and they are holding up just as well as the Toyotas did. Those Deisel Rangers are pretty sweet, they take a beating and they get insane gas mileage

 

a diesel ranger??? if they can do that why do people say a 7.3L wont fit in my f-150?? haha..I HATE SPARK PLUGS!!!

 

HAHA, Yeah its not quite a 7.3L, its just a 2 Liter, maybe ill try to get a few pictures of us beating on them out in the desert

 

You can't compare a Tacoma to a 150 - apples and oranges. The valid comparison to a Tacoma is a Ranger.

Yes, one of the most durable vehicles in the world is a Hilux with a diesel or a 4 banger gas engine and manual transmissions. They are very spartan, rough, and slow. The Tacomas here with V6's and automatics are softened for Americans.

 

My brother is stationed in the Philippines, and Fords are really popular over there, especially Expeditions.

He currently drive a 2006 Ford Everest, which is a SUV based on the Asian spec Ford Ranger, and has a Duratorq 3.0L turbo diesel.

 

I traded my 97 F250 for a 98 tacoma, and traded that for my 97 F150, They are fun to drive but its definetly apples and oranges like glc stated. The power to weight ratio of the tacoma makes it fun in the mud, but when you gotta drive it in the winter it is nasty. The brakes are awesome, four piston calipers like a porsche, but you are stopping half the weight. The only good thing I could say about my Taco was I made $2000 on it and drove it for a year and a half.

 

those diesel hilux's like to blow head gaskets though

 

toyotas are weekend warrior trucks. they make a reliable as hell sedan, i dont think anyone can argue that. drive buy any construction site and how many tundras do you see?? all ford,chevy and sometimes a dodge. point is those work alot more.

 

up here we see dodge's and ford's and the odd chev...

 

Ford dominates around here - Most are diesels 250 & 350's tho and driven by woman

 

lol we do live in michigan i go out and key forigen cars!!! did you see the pinks in michigan?? out of over 400 cars there only 3 were rice burners and only 1 of the 3 had a ricer engine in it!! of all states im pretty sure michigan should have the most american cars...i work at UPS and the parking lot looks like a used ford car lot theres a few chevys and dogdes but only like 2 forigen cars there..haha theres a riced out honda civic makes me lagh every time i hear it!

 

That's funny , I just applied for a job at UPS. For a tractor trailer position. You still have to wear the brown UPS cloths even when driving at night

I was going south , but that fell thru. Actually , I'm kind of glad it did - hard to leave my two little ones behind..

No I didn't see Pinks - not the last one any way. It was in michigan?

 

pinks all out in at the one drag stirp a lil south by dundee and stuff i wanna say the milian drag way im pretty sure it was pretty sweet it came down to a ford mustang and a chevy...camaro if i rember right. funny thing is they both loved fords and the chevy owner worked for ford...the mustang one if i rember right it was pretty sweet... oh btw because i thought u were down south i got my self some E-fans and installed them that freed up some noticable ponies! so maybe i might stand a lil better chance vs ya when we get around to the proveing grounds
