I was spending so little $$ maintaining my EcoB, and since we tow heavy most of the time, have started asking the Ford dealer for their full synthetic.

If you prefer the Tundra, then by all means buy it. But it seems a bit disingenuous to me to say that there's $8,000 difference between the two when you are comparing MSRP to a negotiated price with a rebate.

Are you trying to inject a bit of common sense into this thread?
How dare you interrupt the delusions of the toyota hugger.

No diff than any of his other threads. Yet he is still here posting despite getting our hopes up that he would be leaving us.

Lol.
As a former tundra owner....and consumer that even looked at the 2015 tundra before buying my f150.
All i can say is that anyone who thinks the tundra is better than the f150 must be on some damn good drugs.

Hey guys let's let this post die along with the Tundra sales..

Yes, for sure I think I was clear there was a few bucks which could have been brought down in negotiation on the Ford. However the difference is so great it is not even worth going through that hassle. A rebate is real dollars. Having no rebate on the Ford makes it very expensive, as well as having a high MSRP. As I stated in the first post Ford is either having trouble making enough of these trucks or they are walking off the lot at full MSRP with no rebates. Any way you look at it though, the difference is felt in my wallet. A couple of years ago you paid a premium for the Toyota. Now you pay a super premium for the Ford.

Here are the specs on the two oils I would recommend for the EcoBoost. They have a higher viscosity and meet Ford spec. Now I have a Tundra that uses 0W20, I will likely just use the Toyota synthetic, which is a reasonable price in Canada. Way to thin for the EcoBoost though.

My recollection of the research I did on viscosity reduction due to fuel dilution was that the Ford oil semi and full synthetic were among the worst. I would go with a Mobil Delvac 1, or Chevron Delo 400 E.

Makes you wonder why Toyota is offering such rebates if they have a superior truck.



The truck I have on order is at invoice - dealer holdbacks - any rebates.


Seems a very fair price to me.
