I liked my 2003 tundra a lot, until the frame rusted into steel wool. No, Toyota won't take my phone calls.
The 2003-2004 10th gen f150 with the 8 thread spark plug threads on the cylinder heads is the best of the modern era. The 5.4 2v was finely ironed out and the look is timeless. Id put it up against Toyota reliability if you don’t mind interiors of a simpler time…
Scotty I have a question would it be a waste of money to buy a 2007 Toyota tundra that has 500,000 mi on it for $4,000 to $6,000? Or even one with just over 200,000 miles
Hell, no! Toyota, simply the BEST.
Can you make a video about the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna and other minivans? Or maybe the Camaro vs Mustang vs Challenger.
Netflix should have a special with Scotty where he talks about cars for like 50 episodes...

I’d go with a Tundra. Ford looks like they’re very innovative and always bring a lot of new technology to their trucks but I don’t trust new expensive tech that will become obsolete as fast as my cell phone.
what's a cell phone?
@@Phyoomz exactly
Old technology doesnt mean bad or obsolete
@@Lapp802 Thats not really what he was getting at but i agree
Are you shitting me? Toyota just put a twin turbo v6 instead of the regular v8 that everyone liked..

One Truck is made in Texas by none union workers.
Respect the Tundra. Love the F-150
There is a hill at the river nobody ever made it in 2wheel drive.untill my fx4did it!!!
Perfectly said
The major feat of the Tundra towing the space shuttle, is that ALL the parts stood up to it; namely the transmission, drive axle and differential.
HP can be found more in the other makes, but the strength of the rest of the drivetrain, is what is amazing!
And you can always supercharge the v8 tundra if you want to
@@MikoMuru
I'm looking to buy one before Thanksgiving which one is better the Ford F150 or Tundra.
@@chiraqhanns6952, I just got the 2023 SR5 Tundra a month ago and so far I love it and it doesn't seem to have the quality issues vs the 2022 model (I watched the reviews for the 2022 model and people complained about different problems). Looks like Toyota made some corrections to that concerns. It seems more comfortable to drive than the F150 I have. Though, can't complain about the F150 except for some rust over the fenders and had to replace the rocker panels on both sides, it is 2010 and has almost 300000 miles on the wheals.
I just bought a 2018 TSS Tundra Sr5 crewmax. Thing is huge. The cabin has the most room I have ever seen. I would stay away from the new ones with the 3.5 v6 twin turbo as it is a copy of Fords. Those 5.7 liter engines can stand the test of time as long as you maintain it.
@@mirr1427 I don't like the way it looks sadly. I will have to go with the F-150 work truck supercab (least expensive model).
moral of the story, the F150's and Tundra's are good trucks overall
one is a little better than the other.. and by little i mean much ;)
@@666dynomax which one?

I still have my 2000 Toyota Tundra, 21years still on the road!!
I have a used 2000 f150 and it’s still running great even after being used as a ranch/work truck most of its life
I drive a 92 ram still running strong 318 v8 I bought it brand new I take care of my truck
I drive a 91 f150, 315k and running strong
All the unicorns are replying here. Bought my 04 tundra 250k miles ago, I have literally just changed the oil and timing belt every 120k miles. I had to put air helper springs on the back because I wore out the leaf springs. I don't know but it might have been the 3 tons I brought to the dump one time.
I still have a 1983 f 150 650 thousand miles on it and it still get the job done.....
Well, I placed this debate along with other manufacturers truck reviews before I chose my purchase of a used 14’ Tundra with the 5.7L. This really had me questioning my decisions for a minute until I spent about a month with the Tundra. I regret nothing.
I took just pickup up the 2014 tundra and haven driven my bmw since
i have the 13 tundra, before that 09 tacoma and 98 f-150 i luv my tundra
I've driven dozens of basically every truck on the market (tundra,ram,f150,silverado, etc etc) Tundra imo is by far the best in class
Currently drive a Ram but I'm a Ford guy at heart. I think a lot of people are partial to what they grew up in and what their dad drove!
Agreed. Im a ford guy but thats mainly bc my dad has only owned fords as do I
@@adrianwalker5415 for sure. Next time around I'm gonna test drive all of them but in thinking I'm gonna go back to Ford
This is so true. I get asked all the time what I have against ford as I grew up with and support Toyota trucks and I don’t really have anything to say I guess. Which can almost sway me to buy Ford but I’ve grown up with a passion for Toyota’s.... I just wish they would upgrade there fuel economy and entertainment electronics
Ram best comfort overall
I'm a chevy guy but I've had them all it's how u take care of it
I own a 2012 tundra currently. I put about 30,000 miles on it and it still runs great. I service it regularly and it’s given me zero issues
Tundras do over 1 MILLION miles, there's youtube videos on it.
@@terryadams2652 We just bought a used 2012 Tundra with 118K miles and hope it's not among the baddies. Interestingly, it was a 2012 Tundra model that pulled the Space Shuttle, too! Maybe it's the Babe Ruth year of Tundras, where there were a lot of home runs as well as a lot of strike outs!
@@terryadams2652Think he meant 300k
Sorry, still getting used to hearing Scotty so calm and soothing 😤
Kind of like that announcer from Forensic Files.
I fell asleep last week while watching a video. I had to watch it again so I didn't miss any of Scotty's wisdom.
Personally believe that Rick and mortys meeseeks were based off of Scotty Kilmer and that's one main reason why I love his content
Me too, not sure how I feel about it
And we can't see his Hands. so confusing. 🙄

I was a diehard GMC owner for much of my truck owning life. I did have one F-150 for a short period of time, but It didn't last long. I recently bought a 2006 Tundra base model with 255000 miles on it to be my utility vehicle. I am truly impressed with how it still has new truck performance and stability. that comes with owning a new vehicles. I'm sold on Toyota. And I believe my Tundra will be with me for a long time to come.
Yes!!!!! Tundras are a handful of great vehicles by Toyota. They will last you forever. Literally. Past 3 trucks have been toyotas for me and ain't going to anything else. Past two trucks were repod :(
With the fj I owned for 3 1/2 years it never failed on me. I drive a 98 4runner now and love it. Toyota for life baby.
DITTO
Completely agree. I recently got a 2001 Tacoma with 212k miles and drives excellent on the original engine and trans. It is very slow and a gas hog but it can go all day long. It's amazing how well built Toyota trucks are. I just ordered a new fuel filter and spark plugs to give it a full tune up and see if it helps performance and mpg.
That's because it was never used as a truck. Almost Noone who buys them use them as a truck
@@christopherjoyce833
Truck ppl that could just as well buy a SUV.
I almost reaching 700,000 miles on my 2007 Toyota Tundra. Hopefully I get a New 2022 Tundra from the dealer.
Toyota employee?
The 2022 Model is longer taller, and wider.
That's wonderful.but does it tow anything?
@@jimmyrobinson3258 who cares? A lot of truck owners don't tow anything, or maybe once or twice a year, which to me is the same thing.
@S N E E D none of the F-150 are made in Mexico. Ford is going to build a new truck smaller the the Ranger in Mexico. Now some of the Chevy and GMC Pickups are made in the Silas, Mexico plant
I have long-term experience with both these models. I drove a 1990 F150 until 2007 when I replaced it with a (TA DA) Tundra. I love them both dearly, and am still driving the Tundra 14 years later. It was literally generations ahead of the old Ford. The major problem I had with the F150 was the transmission. The 4OD trans died at 89k miles, costing $1,825 in repairs. I lucked out with the Tundra. The air injection pump and check valve died at 60k miles, just under the 10 year warranty, so the $1,700 cost was borne by Toyota. I put oil, tires, brakes, shocks, spring shackle bushings, and drag link on the F150. I've put oil, tires, brake pads, and gas into the Tundra. Oh, headlights and a couple bulbs on both. I'm sticking with Toyota!
❤
Did you buy both the Ford and Toyota new?
What year tundra you had?
Hey Scotty my boyfriend and I love watching your videos.. anytime we have a question about anything auto we always see if you have a video about it. So thank you for being so honest and Sharing everything you do.
hello and thank you, tell him I said hello!
I do the same. Hes the go to guy got unbiased info on a vehicle
I’m a Ford man here and always will be. Have 2 F-150’s an 03 and an 18 but have a lot of respect for Tundras.
I too am a ford man. Still am the first owner of my 03 expedition. Has been nothing but reliable for me. Almost 20 years old. Less than 135k miles.
Same. I have a 2019 F-150, and I love it. But I can still appreciate a good quality truck like the Tundra.
@@cameronmartin4976 glad to hear it brother. You’ve got the good version of the 5.4 or the 4.6 too. The 2 valve versions are fantastic. It’s the 2004 and up 3 valve ones that weren’t so great but they give all Tritons a bad rep even though the 2 valves are great.
@@s0la.scr1ptura exactly. Drive what you love. Especially if cars/trucks are your passion in life. Way too much negativity in the auto world these days.
I have a true respect for Henry Ford and his family. Ford started THE automotive industry. Further, in times of war, Ford Motor stepped up his production of autos to the war effort. After the war, Ford made pick ups, that are still in use today. And Ford did not take any government hand outs when America had tough times. I tip my hat to Ford 🇺🇲
The Tundra hands down. Had just about every variant of Ford truck from 85 to 2013 including f250's and the Raptor. The Toyota out performed all of them in reliability.
Yet you bought every f150 variant. Whats more reliable about a thundra ? A 5.0 f150 with a 6 speed can last as long as a thundra
Screw the Tundra. I had to put a starter on a friend's Tundra and I had to tear the intake off. That was insane and then it leaked at the oil pan at 68k miles. No thanks.
That's some serious cap. Why would you keep buying every single ford truck when you like the toyota more than ford and know that it is better?
I've almost always had a ford, or had one in my family..or friends..or of the above.. and never had an issue
@@mattmalone524 so? He had a lemon.....they usually don't have those issues so early
Really enjoyed the video. Bought new, 07 tundra limited. 180k miles and now my son drives it. Solid truck. I miss it, started looking for a new one for me.
Converted from the bow tie about 20 years ago and love my F-150. Had my 2015 for 5 years and still don’t know it’s limits.

damn, impressive
Hey Scottie! Love the videos. Just bought my first tundra (2014 SR5). I love the truck. traded a 14 Silverado for it and couldn't be happier. I will admit, you're right, I lost some "creature comforts" but this truck is truly shocking! Tows our 7000 pound loaded camper like its nothing!
My 05 tundra sr5 4.7l crew cab 200,000+miles with 3extra leaf spring added to each side by dealer towed 13,800 lbs like it was nothing.

How did you know this was the video I was looking for?

I'm still hoping Toyota comes out with a truck that can tow a 5th-wheel long distances. The F250 is definitely great, but Toyota has the edge in reliability.

Two great truck companies. Hard to decide which is better. I lean Toyota, but I would consider buying a Ford in the future.
You think the stock tundra drive nice , you gotta try out a new TRD PRO tundra .
Don't do it.
@@shs646 I thought the TRD Toyota Trucks rode stiffer because generally off-road oriented set ups are stiffer, or am I wrong?
@@Argedis a well set up off road suspension will be way less stiff then a truck suspension built for general use. When off reading you want the most wheel travel you can get a looser spring and well tuned shock will let this happen. A general uses truck suspension will have just a few inches up loose springs before hitting the overload for load carrying.
Ford F-150 , I have had 3 of these , a '77 ,a '80 ,and a '15 . They have all been outstanding low maintenance workhorses.

How much on gas?
@@pablojimenez5736 18 to 22 mpg around town. 30 mpg highway.
I've got the 2018 F150 with the 5.0 coyote engine 395hp 400lbs of torque and average 16.5mpg. Other than replacing the front wheel bearings at 75,000 miles it's been an excellent truck... 👌
I drive a 2011 Tundra but my second choice would be the F-150. I've also driven Toyota cars exclusively for the last 20 years, for many 100,000s of miles. I have never had to replace single wheel bearing. My wife has a Subaru Forester and all four of the wheel bearings have failed within 120,000 miles. That and blown head gaskets at 100,000!

Scotty, recently watched your CRV vs. RAV4 video as we will be going that route when we replace our Camry Hybrid. I presently tow about a 6000-6500 payload travel trailer, with a 2006 Nissan Frontier and my wife would like me to upgrade to a full size truck. These types of videos are SO helpful to those such as myself. Please continue these impartial and informative videos. 👏👏
What did you choose? CRV or RAV4?
Very well produced clip, Scotty!
Coming from a 2010 ram owner I wish I would have gotten a Toyota. I like my ram and despite its age it only has 40k miles but the years alone took a toll on the electrical and I had to have a couple hundred dollars of work done to get the a/c working again. The heated side view mirrors are copper because the wiring in the mirror is somehow burning and I hear grinding between shifts first and second when I get on it. I feel a tundra wouldn’t have these problems.
We were a dodge family growing up, but after 3 vehicles in a row with nothing but electrical gremlins, we switched to Toyota 25 years ago and haven't looked back.
I have a 2010 Tundra. Still drives like new. Not an issue. I use it for work btw. Can't praise this truck enough
sorry for your loss...the phrase "rolling piles of crap" somehow comes to mind
I will never own a Chrysler product. Everyone I know with one has had at least one electrical issue in under 75k miles
I have an 08 Tundra and it has been a great truck! I’ll keep driving it until it quits.
Foreign made
Buy American
Luke Moen, the Tundra is built in Texas
That could be awhile. I beat the heck out of my 07 and the starter was the only thing replaced after 250 k miles. Not even the plugs.
@@kross1261 same for my Chevy
I bought myself a new pickup in 2002. I looked at the Tundra, but back then it was only slightly bigger than the small pickups. I didn't comfortably fit in it. The 2002 F 150 was a different story. I have been happy with my F 150 for 19 years, and I prefer the size and tech package of that year to the larger models loaded with unnecessary tech. If I was going to buy a new truck today, I would probably go with the Tundra, but I would have to check the F 150 out too.
excellent job on comparing the 2 trucks I personally would always go with the Toyota For longevity And for the low cost maintenance And also retail valueThese are the reasons why I always pick a Toyota
I have an 03 Tundra with 238000 on it and it still runs and drives like new after 17 years.
How is the body and interior?
I have an '09 Tundra Limited and it looks like it is still new. I have owned all the other brands and I will never go back. I love my Tundra its a beast.
I hate my ford 250. after 70kmiles it started falling to pieces
My dads 07 has 420,000 miles
And my 07 has 300,000 miles. Love the tundras.
Yes, I have a 2011 Tundra! I love my truck!

@@jrock865 My f250 is 2001 too. how did you manage to go past the 70k miles without everything starting to fail. even the plastics are like melting. lol
I drove my 2004 Ford f150 5.4 159,000 with only regular maintenance. It traveled the Alaska highway 3 times without any problems...pulling a fully loaded 8x12 dual axle trailer.
TUNDRA wins.....I have owned F-150.... But Tundra is way more reliable and yet does the job.
This is such a hard choice. Both are amazing trucks!
I totally agree brother.
Toyota Tundra
True..I'd still go with the Tundra. Especially use after 100K
Get that tundra bro trust me all you’ll ever have with a Ford is problems even if it’s brand new
@@enriquevargas1886 My 2011 Ford F150 with the 5.0L Coyote V8 has 138,000 miles and still going strong and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it. I also have a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 209,000 miles on it and still going strong as well. The only things I replaced on that old Ford was the starter, the fuel pump, and the power steering megunisum but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance, took out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since.
I own both. Without hesitation I’d choose my 2015 Toyota Tundra over any F150. I’ve had 5 recalls on my Ford which also cost more to purchase. My Tundra is a workhorse taking more abuse and never needing repairs. I have about 227k miles on it. Meanwhile the F150 only has 98k and riddled with issues. Ford has in my opinion, gotten complacent. So for me, Tundra is the clear choice. And I’m hella proud of it! 💪🏿👍🏿
Grew up cherishing the F-150. About 15 years ago we bought a Toyota Avalon for my wife and that eventually turned us into a Toyota family. I drove an '04 Sequoia for almost 300,000 until a friend offered me an '06 Tundra last year with 160,000 on it. A year later, it's got 184,000 and running like it's new. Full blown Toyota guy now....incredibly dependable. Great review of two great trucks.
Love these historical videos!

The only things I replaced on my truck was the starter and the fuel pump but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance, took out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since. I also have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 138,000 miles and still going strong as well and its a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK exhaust on it.
2008 Tundra 5.7 liter 278k miles and still run smooth 😎 👌 Lexus/Toyota for me
I never realized just watching a voice-over video of Scotty talking about trucks could be so friggin soothing. More pls.
love the history lesson you give. keep them coming.❤️
I’ve owned all brands throughout my lifetime, out of 12 trucks I’ve owned 5 have been Ford F-150, however the 2015 was a total disappointment watching how misaligned the body panels were looking and it was unstable passing an 18 wheeler.
I have a 2018 Tundra since October 18, 2017 it’s a Limited w/premium package 4x4.
Quite frankly the best truck I’ve owned and pulls a 27’ Airstream Flying Cloud with out complaints.
miles dont mean a lot ....engine hours are what count, my 14 Silverado has over 11,000 engine hours,, never have a problem so far,...
I have a 16 150, the Ford has been beat to death with towing a 7,000 lb trailer with 109k zero issues. Great tough truck
Hands down the Tundra. The cost of ownership numbers speak for themselves. The F150 keeps it's #1 selling truck status by still offering the most stripped down cheapest version and heavily targeting fleet sales.
I buy not for love but reliability. I've owned Hondas since 1982 and have a 2007 Acura RL with 285,000 miles on it. Still rides like a dream and in all that time maybe spent $4,000 dollars in maintenance, that includes wear and tear on Tires and brakes. I also own a 2013 Toyota Tundra with 130,000 miles that rides like a dream. Love your videos @scottyKilmer. Keep them coming.
Acuras have great engines and 285,000 miles should be no problem if the car is maintained. Bragging rights come in after 500,000 miles IMHO.
I have a 2010 F-150 Platinum with only 92,000 miles. I have not found a reason to trade it in and get the 2021. It is a very reliable truck.
What motor?
92,000 miles only on a 11 year old? Those are rookie numbers you have to make a california to southflorida trip a couple of times to get your game up
@@TheJeremyseattle half way, if it was a tundra, you would be 1/10 of the way thru it’s life cycle
@@titirititiri6360 yeah theyre not all going a million miles bro lol theres million mile fords out there too.
@@trudeaumustgo1920 only 1 f150 that is self claims to be at 1 mil , but has not been verified by dealership, point is tundra has always been rated much higher reliability and resale then Ford
I have a 2019 F150. It has the 3.5L twin turbo, and I love this truck. It pulls great and rides better than most cars.
I’ve driven both of these and honestly, it just comes down to preference. Both are fine trucks that can last a long time. Cheers.
How many f150s have gone a million miles?
Own both and they both have great reliability. I'm at the moment traveling across country in my 2007 f150 stx 4.6 ltr 130k miles on it. I'm very impressed on how it's doing with my in bed camper. I've estimated it has 2k pounds in it. I put new shocks in it along with firestone airbags. It's so smooth on the highway.
How ironic 😭 My boyfriend of 8 years passed away last year. A year before he passed he bought a 2005 Ford F150 Lariat with the 5.4L engine. It was the nicest vehicle either of us had in years!! When his kids said they wanted me to keep it after my Joe passed, I was overcome with emotion, crying just thinking about the hours we spent in the truck going back and forth to chemo. He beat cancer only to have a massive heart attack laying in bed next to me less than 2 months after being deemed cancer free. I feel close to him when I drive this truck... I love this truck but today, yes today, I found out that it needs a new timing chain $2,000, $700 for tune-up, $220 intake cleaning, and new brakes $1,000... I just took it into the shop because my father wanted to help me keep it on the road and offered to pay for a tune-up and new break pads. Neither of us can afford this so needless to say, I cried all the way home today 😭 I've been watching your videos to educate myself so that when I can afford to buy a new used car, It'll last me more than 2 years 😔 I thought it was ironic that you posted this video the same day as I got the bad news on my F150! Fingers crossed that the truck stays on the road long enough!! Thank you so much for your valuable information! ❤
My 04 f150 5.4 was decently maintained. It has 245k miles so far, the Triton engine is great if maintenance is upkept.
Very sorry for your loss.
Well, shops are expensive. The tuneup price is an absolute joke, it's around $50 for the parts, and anybody with the 2 correct wrenches can do it. Brakes would depend on just what needs to be replaced. The timing chain and related parts shouldn't be quite that expensive, but it is the problem area for that engine and could very well be a necessary job.
Intake cleaning? A good maintenance idea, but so cheap to do yourself. Let's see, $7 for MAF cleaner, $7 for throttle cleaner. Done. And these things are easy to take apart and do for anyone. Scotty probably has videos on it.
If you do the brakes yourself your looking at probably under 300 bucks including new rotors thats for all four wheels
Please take it to another shop because you're getting ripped off.
Get a second opinion, it sounds like your mechanic cares more about money then helping people.I’ve been a mechanic for 20 years.I could do all that work for way less
I just bought my first Tundra!!! It’s a 2018 SR5 crewmax with TRD Off-road. I’m absolutely in love with it 😍
I have owned Fords, Chevy's, Dodge's and two Tundra's. The first Tundra was a 2008 That I bought used with 130,000 miles on it. It drove and rode great. Had plenty of power and I loved the truck. At 215,000 miles and still running strong, I traded it for the 2017 Tundra TRD 4x4 I have today. The 5.7-liter engine is strong. The transmission handles anything I have tried to tow with it. It pulled a 28' CrownLine boat from Austin, TX to Kentucky with no problems, I was able to maintain the speed limit going uphill in Arkansas. The gas mileage in the Tundra is not great. Usually, I get around 15 MPG. When I am towing it goes down substantially. Overall, I have been pleased with the Tundra more than any of the other brands I have owned in the past.
Love my Tundra - totally respect the F150
Last summer (2020), I started truck shopping with every intention of buying an F-150 with the 5.4 (have to have a v8). After digging through every review I could get my hands on, I decided on a Tundra. I got a 1794 4x4 and got the dealer to throw in a Line-X bedliner and the TRD Pro dual exhaust. I love the way it looks and sounds.
I also love the driving experience. There's just something that makes it feel extremely luxurious.
Great truck!
It was probably a really good time to buy it too right, considering the economy? Of course it wasn't a good time to buy used.
I bought a 2009 f150 Platinum with the 5.4L V8 in it a few months ago and after a road trip to the coast only a month after i bought it I had a check engine light (along with other issues) and the fix ended up being an $8,000 engine swap. So you probably dodged a bullet not buying ford's V8 lol
@@Kyle-ue1hq oh snap! Crazy how often I've been hearing that, about having to change out engines in different cars. But I guess that's the way it's done these days, repairs are done overseas, or just not at all, they just get a new one and it's cheaper to ship it then fix what they have. Same thing happened to my Grand caravan transmission. Of course you're out of a vehicle for a while and they had better give you a rental.
F150, I have 3 of them, 97, 03, 2018. They have never given me any problems at all and the 18 is like driving a jacked up Cadillac. Smooth.
It was hard to pick between the two, but I went with the 2019 F-150 5.0. Bought it at 29,000 miles, and it is at 70,000 miles after two years. Haven’t had any problems yet except with an oil shop that never changed my oil when they said they did. Found that out when a bunch of gunk drained from my oil pan when I serviced it myself.
I just bought a 2021 F150 2.7L V6, I was going to wait for the new Tundra but life happens.... So far I love my truck ...
F150 is better now because mpg and towing capacity and quickly
I have 106k now with the 2.7
That 2.7 is a beast
I have a 2004 Taco, either one would be a wonderful replacement (I would lean towards the Tundra) but my just won't quit. It's hard to let go of a reliable truck even if it's 17 years old.
I own a 2007 Tundra SR5 extra cab with a 8.1 ft. bed with 699750 miles. Still has Great power and looks and drives Great.
Absolutely excellent, informative, educational, interesting, enjoyable and darn right outstanding! 🙏🏻🇺🇸✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸
In a Top Gear episode the F150, Tundra and Silverado towed a 747 jet. The F150 did the best.
But you have to see for how long they can do tow not how fast?!!!
I dont think people who drive f150 tow 747 jets
Top gear does very little that applies to real life. It’s just entertainment
My family has 4 10th gen 150s. We love them despite the issues. We know them in and out. But I want a toyo
Love my 2013 Tundra. It's a wonderful machine indeed.
Love my 2013 Platinum Edition Tundra. Has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
Scotty. These videos, done in this format, are FANTASTIC!!!
Thank you Scotty ! You’re the best. By the way I also live in Tennessee
I own a F150 but also really like the Tundra. As an engineer working in manufacturing, I know that the longer you keep a product realitively unchanged, quality should increase and thus reliability. Toyota Tundra reliablity is a result of the Tundra basically being the same since 2014. Ford on the other hand tends to do updates quite regularly and this will result in quality issues. I understand this so had to make a decision between latest technology or something a few years old. So, why did I go to the F150. It depends on what is important to you the buyer. For me I wanted the latest safety features and technology. Ford was superior to Toyota in this situation. In addition, the gas milage for the Tundra is downright pittiful. I think if the gas milage was better, I would have leaned more towards the Toyota. Toyota just had to many boxes not checked.
That is the basis for Toyota's "Kaizen" business model, which basically means constant improvement made year after year with input from the lowest man to the President of the company. They don't try to "reinvent the wheel" with radical changes and are usually late to adopt modern technologies, but this is done intentionally with long term reliability in mind vs cutting edge features.
@@KevinHuff23 I don’t think it is just their model but also Toyota culture. They really don’t get our desires to buy trucks. As such, changing them is not a huge priority.
I have a 2007 tundra 4.7...148k miles. I had 98k when I had bought it almost 3 years ago. Did the timing belt, water pump, trans fluid drain and fill etc...at 120k. I run amsoil fluids. Hope the truck lasts the life of me.

You are a great voice over guy Scotty.
I have a 2007 5.7 tundra sr5 160k miles, and I like it.
Owned a 2006 Tacoma….awesome little truck! Even pulled an ambulance out of a ditch with that truck! Moved up to a 2014 Tundra…love it. Seven years and 118,000 miles later still going strong with little problems. Keeping it until it drops….no way I’m buying anything new with the wild pricing going on.
I'm about to roll over 200,000 on my 2014 f-150. I had 207,000 on my 2007 f-150. They work.
Absolutely love my Tundra.
the rust, or the fuel mileage?

@@sullivanrivers7147 fair enough, i live in Southern California so there’s no rust here. I’d rather pay more gas as long as I have reliability, my boss’s 2020 silverado has had problems already
2012 tundra, got new way back 120k and zero problems regular Maintenance i love this truck and still looks good
2012 Platinum Tundra. Nothing….but regular synthetic oil changes. 170K. No issues. Might better do a tranny fluid change though. Hauled dump trailers, boats and worked the beast hard. No issues. Love em
I have 2017 platinum tundra and reliability trumps all for me. I’m in Canada and need a well built truck that’s dependable! I only recently had to change water pump at about 140,000 km. I hunt, fish and ice fish....extremely cold weather of -40 in winters the Tundra has been solid! Great video! I’ve been watching for years!
Just bought a 2011 Tundra Limited 4x4 with 117k miles and ABSOLUTELY love it. Been a Ford man all my life and I must say the power this iForce 5.7 has is simply amazing. I am literally having to relearn accelerating. So much different than my 5.4L Triton.
I’ll take whoever gives me a good deal, they’re both great trucks. 😃
I like both trucks...lol..
Just did this. The ford was cheaper
That’s where you fucked up bud.
Which is a better deal though? A truck that will run 200k+ miles with no repairs, but cost 5 grand more, or the one that cost an extra 10k to get to 200k miles?
@@rickthomas422 I bought a 5.0 f150, my parents and my grandparents both have over 150k on with no issues. Heard of nothing but problems with the ecoboosts, so reliable is was
Scotty u should make more videos like that .. i hope u make all ur vidoes like that with pre-scripted and quietly narrated ♥️🌷
Great video! Though, I wish you would have said something about the engine differences in the 00-02 model Tundra and how they were produced in Japan with forged internals vs some of the later US models. I have an '01 Tundra still going strong at 322k. If you're looking for reliable, there's a reason there aren't many 00-02 year model Tundras in junk yards...most of them are still running.
I have a 02 tundra with 500k miles and it’s still perfect shape doesn’t miss a beat and I beat it up
@@haileymerkle1787 Wow! I have 66,000 miles on my 2017 Tundra. I keep it serviced on schedule and I’m hoping it lasts as long as yours does.
My 02 tundra is at almost 300,000 km only ever changed the timing belt thats it and well maintained.
Regret selling my 2005 tundra sr5 crew card. I ended up with it for free when purchased 2 trucks at same time sold the Chevy for more then I paid for both trucks. Toyota was owned by a electrical contractor one owner dealer ship installed 3 extra leafsprings on each side. I’ve towed 3/4 ton crew cab trucks with plow on them over white mountains newhampshire in a blizzard and the Toyota didn’t miss a beat. It was tank. I got it with 189,000 miles and sold it with a little over 500,000 and it’s still on rd today! No gm,ford or dodge cam even compare to Toyota! Can’t compare them to Toyota! Toyota stands by itself when it comes to dependability durability and resale. To bad the big three refuse to learn from Toyota because I know they could if they wanted to. Today they manufacturing junk with msrp$80,000 and up! I’ll stick to Toyota I learned hard way
I've had my 2018 trd tundra for a month so far and I absolutely love it.
Do you still love it?
@@batmanagain definitely
Is a monster’s
They are both great trucks, I have a friend with a Tundra that has over 300000 miles on it and my Dad had a early 80's E150 van that was our family vacation ride as a kid that he converted to being a work van in the 90's, it finally died around 2005 or so with a little over 800000 thousand miles on it.
Rip
Yep my dad had 400,000 on his old '86 F-150 before It needed a new engine. I'd love to beat that record with my 2015, but I average about 10,000 miles a year, there's no way I'd keep it that long.
I own the 2010 Toyota had the pumps all go out just bought the by pass kit for $160 . No pollution laws where I . They wanted $2000 to replace the pumps. Been running fine for now 3 months ago did it with almost 180,000 miles I also love Ford . Have a 99 E350 350,000 miles on it maintenance done consistently and parts very reasonable. Tundra is much more expensive.
Damn
Dang that is impressive!! Especially because of how the odometer read back then and didn’t even record a 100,000. You recall what engine?
Love ❤️ the channel , history lessons please keep them coming 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great vid man you should have more of these
I owned a 2012 FX2 with 3.5 ecoboost motor. Loved it! Went on to a luxury car after that.
I'm on my 3rd F150 and I love it never had issues with them, I test drove Tundra and didn't like it, F150 handles better and has more features than Tundra
great point...so what year is your F150??
I want an XLT 2018 f150, what troubles did you run into often?
I had 2016,2019,2020 all Lariat, so far the worst one was 2019 with 2.7L ecoboost i had a few issues but wasn't anything major i traded for 3.5L ecoboost and trust me it's so much better torque and everything , i liked everything about had no issues at all , i would recommend to get Lariat for little more money you get better options
