I always liked Ford trucks. We have a Tundra 4wd and I like it but almost bought a Ford 250 years ago. Happy with the Tundra but appreciate the news
re. the Ford truck

Like I said Ford has it, Von when you mention the Toyota Diesel they will have mega problems in the begining, they don't have the technology that Ford
has, also Ford is back on the drawing board with the F-150 DIESEL.
I have a 350 crew cab Diesel what a truck, can pull a locomotive. |
Toyota has been making diesels for
years and sells them all over the world, just not in the U.S.

I know I posted this before, but I just love towing out American Steel with my Jap truck (I take a lot of crap from my buddies)
This Dodge 2500 4x4 is towing 2 waverunners. I was still aired up!
No worries

I have a Ford F350 diesel, it's a great truck when it's not in the shop. I am looking forward to seeing a Toyota diesel truck, there is no way they
could be less reliable than the Ford.

I can see where everybody here got off on a defensive mode, when I started this thread it was to do with FORD VS TOYOTA not to get into a P---
Contest, the facts are in READ TRUCK TREND, I love Toyota's, as I said, all I'm saying is they can not, again can not do what my 350 Diesel can do,
can a Toyota pull 20,000 plus plus pounds? It seems here we went for longevity not real world situations. END OF DISCUSSION.

I have had many 4x4 trucks used in wildland firefighting operations. The F450 and 550s (2202 and 2003s) were built well but the 7.6
International-built dsl. motors didn't hold -up well in the dust (several new motors) and I had to fight Ford with complaints and lawyers to get Ford
to warrenty the work. The 6.2 liter dsl. is even worse. Now I run GMC 4x4 C4500 and C5500s with WAY better luck- Duramax/ Isuzu engine and Allison
trannies. My F150 chase trucks have done well with the 5.4 gas motors and my Expedition has made many trips up and down Baja with no breakdowns but
for a personal-use truck I would but the Toyota. The technology is better and Toyota's dealers are better to work with. Just a note: do not use
Jones West Ford in Reno, NV. ; they lie, they steal, they cheat. I have proven this several times, in court. Because of the way Ford has treated me,
I can't imagine I would ever buy another Ford ever!

7.6L International-built diesel motors? Were these in the 450-550 series or are you referring to the 7.3L motor?
