2013 Tundra vs 2013 Ford

[Peacock]

Personally I like my Dodge powered by a 5.9L Cummins Diesel.

Me too! It's just a truck. No frills.

They rust like any other. Stuff is easy to work on and it's got the best diesel on the market under the hood. Inline six Cummins diesel, stick shift transmission, floor shift t/case, big Dana axles....what's not to love?

I rest my case on Ford vs Toyota!

Based on one post? Funny! Do you have any personal experience to add or just a sideline cheerleader that owns neither?

Ford frames are typically huge looking and have more cross sectional area than the others. They use lower tensile strength steel so they have to use more of it. Just a different approach to accomplish the same result.

Are we still talking Toyota vs Ford? If so, there is no comparison in frame strength. I still like both trucks overall equally though.

Yeah. The paragraph preceding the one you quoted touches on that.

The Ford frame likely is stronger. It certainly has higher tow ratings.

His experience is probably limited to seeing the tailights of Fords taking off at a stop light.

See if you can view any live data. DPFE should read about 1v at idle. Also check and see what baro reads in Hz. A bad MAF can cause a whacky idle that may not show up in other conditions.

Draw a vacuum on the EGR valve and see if
It either dies or stumbles.

I can pull that info with my scanner realtime. Ill be sure to check:thumbsup:

Lets not "cheapen" the good info in this thread with exaggerated claims and brand bashing. Please. Thank you. Now, does anyone have performance numbers (1/4 mile, 0-60) for the Tundra, 5.7 crew max 2wd 4.30 gears. I have heard 6 second mid 14 times. If correct, that is fast for a big truck.

I have heard low 14's for a regular cab short bed and I have seen one at the strip turning 14.30's, reg cab 4x4 short bed. Sorry for contributing to getting the thread off topic. I will over look the foolishness that some are posting. Like some of us said earlier they all make good trucks.

I am guessing the eco boost is right there too? They have similar power numbers.

I don't know the accuracy of these postings but it appears to be close. It is fun to look up some older vehicles I used to own and think were quick.
