Ford F150 3.5V6 vs 5.0V8 vs Toyota Tundra 4.6V8?
I'm currently on the market for a 2013 truck. On average I don't even use the bed or a trailer. About once a week I tow about 1,000-1500lbs. Then about once a month I tow about 7-8,000lbs. Also, mountains and hills are normal for me. What are you thoughts?
Tundra 4.6 will be the most reliable for sure. The Ford 5.0 is a nice truck engine. 3.5 Ecoboost motor is a mess. Same MPG as the V8s, more prone to failure.
The 4.6L Tundra will be underpowered for towing 7,000-8,000 pounds, the 4.6L Tundra is only rated to tow 6800 pounds at most. You're going to need the 5.7L. For that. The Ecoboost has plenty of grunt and contrary to what the other guy said, it's reliable. The N/A 3.5L isn't going to up to the task of towing an 7k-8k load. The 5.0L is slightly less powerful than the 3.5L EB. But it can handle what you're asking of it.
Too much for the toyota…
- Is all Tundra 4x4's a Ford? And are the all Toyota's. I know this seem odd but I need to know? I'm thinking about a Tundra and I'm doing a little research, that's all.
- Will a 1993 ford f150 tachometer work in a 1996 ford f150? I have a 1996 ford f150 xl v8 automatic without a tachometer. I bought a 1993 instrument cluster with a tachometer. Will it be plug and play in my truck?
- Toyota tundra or Ford f150? Years 2008-brabd new all in 4x4 4door models… Which one is best overall reliablity safety and all around better truck of these 2 and why?
- Better truck fors f150 or Toyota tundra? I'm looking for a bigger pickup truck. I currently have a Toyota Tacoma and it's getting crammed In the back seat. I've narrowed it down to the Toyota tundra and Ford f150. Of these 2 trucks which is best overall and more reliable? I don't want to be in the shop all the time but I want something reliable, safe and love g lasting. It would be from 2006-2015 models all 4door 4x4.
