From Ford to Toyota back to Ford

I was a commercial painter for years and only had Ford trucks. You couldn't kill a straight six motor and after 180,000 miles (still running like new), I traded it in for a Exploder since I retired from painting. Then my hobby turned into another business selling collectible firearms and ammo at trade shows and hauling that stuff wasn't good for the Exploder. At 20,000 miles, the rear brakes were nearly through the rotors so I chose the Tundra as they advertised "the biggest brakes on the market". Well it was the 07 first year model which had the front brake problems

. As the company and gunshow exibit grew, it did not tow like they said it would so I needed a new truck. I met a new customer who retired from Ford and could give me the X plan so we went and check them out. I was impressed with them, could get a great deal with plan and rebates so we jumped back on the Ford wagon. I am still on the fence about the Eco boost (my brother has one) so I got the 5.0 in a 2011 Lariat Screw 4x4. I got a ton more features (loaded) for $5000 less than a bland Toyota! With X plan and rebates, we saved almost $10,000 off sticker price and I love the truck. Now I need to drive it all over the place to put miles on it before towing the trailer to the show next weekend!
