I would take a Toyota Tundra over a F150 any day of the week. I like Fords and all but atleast Toyota is offering to fix the problem instead of sweeping it under the rug like Ford did with The ticking cylinder head on the Cobra.
Like any car manufacturer Toyota has recalls on their products the difference is Toyota actually takes care of their customers instead of offering a b.s excuse

what, the new diesel? ford had a recall on them to flash their ECUs(so they wouldnt shoot flames out the pipes during the "regen" process, LOL), but thats about it. hardly comparable to exploding cam shafts.
It doesn't work like that. What any and all big companies do when this sort of thing happens is have people calculate approximately how much money they would lose recalling all the broken parts versus paying off all the lawsuits from said broken parts. Whichever decision makes them lose less money is generally the course of action. It's not that Ford is EVIL and Toyota is good. It's just business.707RIDAH said:I would take a Toyota Tundra over a F150 any day of the week.

As long as Ford has the F450 on the market it owns the work truck catagory until someone can offer a competitor. It can haul 7k lbs more than the next highest offering from any other company.
When did Toyota pass GM as the largest automaker? Last I heard they were leading in sales but GM is still the largest. What do they mean by that in the article?

I agree with stated above, the Silverado is a much better riding truck, but can not handle the load of the new superduty'sEuphoric One said:

They found a glitch that has shown up on 20 engines. Put that into perspective vs number of trucks sold. Ford wouldn't step up to the plate until it was every 2nd truck. Exaggerated I know.
Sport truck, SRT10, Lightning.
Comfy personal truck 1500 Silverado
Work truck because they are ugly as sin. F250.
Sled drags. Cummins.
People buy trucks for all different reasons. Work, play, comfort, features, blah, blah blah.
My Ram has over 500,000kms. It's not because it's a Dodge. I credit it's simplicity for it being able to reach it's age and it's still running great.
No AC to fail, no power seats, windows, no computer, no dual zone heating.
Just a 5 wire ignition system and a Holley carburetor.

It was also a casting flaw in the block of the truck, from Navistar, not from ford.jfsram said:
I take it you just read up alot of pickups. If you had actually owned a cummins at one point in time you wouldn't be saying that. Troublesome 6.0>cummins.Whizzle said:
The reason that this is a story is because it's the second major engine problem Toyota has had in the past few months. First it was the engine sludge which in many cases needed a replaced engine and landed Toyota a few lawsuits.
The big deal is that Ford and GM don't have the reputation of having the best built cars in the world, Toyota does. And while Toyota continues to grow larger than they can handle these major problems are going to keep arising and Ford and GM are going to surpass them in quality as they are already on their tail.
This story has to do with a lot more than just 20 engine failures, it's the bigger picture at Toyota. Will they be able to be the largest manufacturer and retain their high quality ratings.
