Well figured my extensive exhaustive research that convinced me to choose F150 with the 5.0L V8 over GM/GMC and Toyota Tundra had not changed and certainly wasn't wrong and I let some 11th hour info shake me up when the realities are all trucks and all engines and transmissions have their issues and bugs. Some are worse than others and yes it is a bit of a crap shoot but there really is no other option but to buy and maintain the truck extremely well and I do not abuse my vehicles in the least and hope for the best.

Thanks to all for your help.

 

Glad you're happy with your choice. These trucks are awesome.

Don't be a stranger.

 

To the contrary,
I hope I don't become a bother especially once I get the truck with alot of questions as i will likely begin today asking for inputs and suggestions based on experience I do not yet posses.
