Wife assaulted my truck today

 

Told her I am buying a new one. She didn't say a word

 

 

Her van didn't fair as well good section of paint missing by her tail light. I was like wtf I parked further to the right Sr. Had plenty of room I could have landed a plane with the room I left.

Surprised that's all that happened. I tapped a tiny little sapling on my property with my rear bumper, and nearly totaled the truck. Cost me $2,200 to fix. Truck was only 2 years old at the time.

Wow..... it's all I can say. Cleaned up my 2015 Tundra which I am more fond of now but definitely was done with until I found out you can disable the traction control in them with the dash button to the level of a 1980's truck lol. Anyhow I test drove a 2016 F150 XLT double cab with the 2.7 Ecoboost and the little bugger impressed me...... honestly feels quicker than the Tundra..... not anywhere near my 6.2 Silverado but that's expected. Still a nice truck.... so I decided to see what Ford would do.

 

Their offer on the Tundra was nothing I didn't expect but the new Fords...... yeah no. I can buy a 5.3 powered loaded LTZ double cab Silverado for what Ford wants for a nicely appointed cloth seat double cab XLT..... and that's no crazy options on the Ford either. I mean just a 302A double cab with the console, bedliner, trailer package and the 2.7 Eco with 3.73's..... that stickers for between the 54000 and 56000....... they are nuts! Yes I am in Canada of course here but my loaded 2015 double cab 6.2 Silverado was $58500..... a 5.3 version of the same truck is easily mid 50's msrp..... Ford can take their trucks and shove them far up their asses lol. They wanted a $10K difference to my double cab TRD SR5 Yota.... I I just laughed..... You want $10K and to totally downgrade me...... good luck. They didn't seem at all shocked when I mentioned that their prices are absurd..... probably hear it a lot. There are diddly for the 2015 and 2016 F150's out and about here versus the GM twins or Rams and now I see why lol.

Can't wait to see how those little engines hold up in 15 years ...

Probably about as good a this AFM junk does.... can't be any worse lol. It's not like turboed v6s are anything new... They should last forever for what they want for them... a Tundra which I always thought was an overpriced pos (I own one so I can say this) seems like a bargain compared to a Ford.. and at least with Toyota's out of date truck you know it won't blow up on you lol.

No guarantees on that... but most of em don't really get used as real truck though..

Lol... compared to what exactly? Because neither do most GM's.... your carpeted wheel well liners and paint that falls off at the thought of a rock are living proof of that. For work I take my Tundra over my Chev any day of the week... and I actually do.
