Default Should I jump ship to the new F-150?

Guys,

I'm thinking about leaving Toyota for the new F-150.

I've been playing around with the on-line builder, just have a question on the spray in liner, what brand is it? i.e LineX or Rhino Liner.

Should I jump ship? and tell me why.

It is a hard finish, things slide.

Go for a test drive and see for yourself. See the Drive Event thread.

I need a new truck and I'm trying to decide between a Tundra and one of the new F150s. Why are you thinking about leaving Toyota?

I was looking at the tundra as well. Problem is the tech in the 2015 tundra is no where even close to what ford is offering.

I think this should answer your question lol. Most people I have met with Tundras have not been happy with them.

I am jumping ship, but I will miss the 5.7 V8. One of the You Tube videos showed the 3.5 Ecoboost in the King Ranch doing 0-60 in 5.5 seconds so I am encouraged that the performance gap has been closed. Unfortunately for Toyota they decided to play conservative and basically nothing new is on the horizon as far as technology.
My 2007 has given me numerous problems starting after 100,000 miles and I think this new F150 is going to be the real deal. I would bet money that the new 150 is going to crush the competition. About a month ago I ordered a maxed out King Ranch so I am excited like a little kid waiting for Christmas.

I hope this wont be the only thing affecting your decision?
worse case, you can always not get the liner from the factory and get whichever brand you want...

The quick is answer is "Yes". Right now in the truck market Ford, GM, and Dodge rule the school. Everyone else isn't there yet in my opinion. The new Tundra's looks good, no mistake, but I think it ends there.

ya I guess, I was curious which one they're using, I prefer LineX.

I drive a 2011 F-150 at work and I find the rear end kicks out on bumpy dirt roads and highways.

The new F-150 sounds neat with the aluminum body, LED healights, box lights, the A pillar grab handle, the load flat floor with the fold up seats in the back offer lots of room.

I'm just concerned if the new truck will kick out also on the rear end?

I Just wanted to hear from the guys that own these rigs and have more experience with them.
