I like mine. 33k on it and no real issues so far. Can't comment about the Tundra, never driven one. The 5.0 F150 gave me a perma grin when I drove one. But knew I'd get 2mpg with it because It would be matted most of the time so I could listen to the exhaust. The eco just moved more effortlessly and I love the turbo whistle. |

I bought a Tundra for many reasons.
Gas mileage wasn't one of them. For what its worth most honest Ecoboost drivers will tell you 16 is about average. I think I averaged about 14-15 before the lift and tire upgrade. Now I am around 12mpg.. Tundra tows like a dream but the payload could be higher. (I have hauled 1ton without any issues but the payload is around 1500 I believe.) Before the lift and tires.

i've always been a chevy guy.
my next truck will likely be a toyota. followed closely by the v8 f150...... the only thing i don't like about ford trucks is (and i know a good number of guys who own them, different year models) i've never been in one and said to myself, "damn this truck feels good." |

I own a 2012 FX4 with Ecoboost and 3.73 rear gearing. It's a fricking hoot to drive. Bone stock it's a 14.8 truck in the 1/4mile.
The Tundra is a good truck, too, though. If I didn't have the Ford, I'd get a Tundra. |

My hunting buddy bought an Ecoboost the same week I bought a Tundra (both 14's) and he tells me every time we're together that he wishes he would have gone with a Tundra. There's more room in the Crewmax than you could possibly imagine and the ride is great!

Coming from a Ford salesman get the ecoboost. Yes, towing you will lose some mileage but just driving around town it will be way better than anything Toyota puts out. I looked at a toyota sticker today and the truck I was competing against had a 3.90 rear end.
 No wonder they say they can tow alot. And from what I remember if you get the 5.7 and trailer tow that truck has a 4.10 rear. Say hello to 12mpg empty. Plus Ford crew cab is huge. In 09 I think they added 6 inches to the cab. There is a reason ford sells 500,000 trucks or more a year and Toyota sells around 150,000,

Ecoboost all day.
The thing pulls like a train, acceleration is awesome. I like the looks of the tundra, but in the end the F150 lariat was so much nicer, and it just flies. The heated and cooled leather seats, the backup camera, the built in trailer brake, and electronic sway control, power rear slider & moonroof all helped sell it for me. I bought it off a Toyota lot! As mentioned before, that Turbo whistle is awesome.

I bought a '14 Crewmax Tundra about 3 weeks ago. I came from 12 years of Ford ownership. I am loving it so far. I have been averaging about 16.5 on the 5.7 with my fair share of putting my foot in to blast by the left lane campers.

I'm not saying they can't tow alot. They can tow just as much as a Ford truck will. What I am saying is that with a 4.10 rear they should. Ford truck with 3.55 can tow just as much as the toyota and actually get some decent mileage when you aren't towing. Ford truck with Ecoboost and 3.31 rear end can still tow something like 9200 pounds and get WAY better mileage than the toyota will.

Buy a diesel. You'll want a bigger truck eventually anyway, and the MPG on a modern diesel is far better than any modern gasser.

I've got a 4wd engagement problem that the shop can't fix and something wrong with the cam chain tensioners in addition to variable valve timing problems that are going to cost about $3,000 to fix. Your truck is newer than mine, but that just means people haven't discovered the flaws in the ecoboost engine yet. I'll never own another Ford after my experience-there are known problems with my truck that should have been recalled . My boss has an F150 that is a year newer than mine and he also has a 4wd problem like I do-it's trying to engage all the time. I'd say get the Toyota, My Dad did and he's happy a pig in shit. |

I almost bought a F150 XLT Ecoboost Supercrew 4x4 a few months ago. Several dealers around here had them marked down to 32-34k with all the cash back, trade allowance, etc. They all stickered around 40-42k.
If you can't find those deals locally, I'd really suggest shopping southern dealerships, or waiting for the incentives to come back. I don't know if Toyota has deals like that or not. |
