    Not me, that's for sure. When my F250 was due for replacement I looked at everything I could find and settled on a Toyota Tundra.
    So far so good. It does everything the F250 would do and it does it at a lower cost. For the last couple of years every Ford we bought had to spend time in the dealer's shop to fix little glitches that should have been addressed at the factory. Sure, the warranty took care of everything but having one or two pickups constantly down for nickel and dime repairs was a pain in the butt.
    The Tundra hasn't been back to the shop since I bought it. Any guess on what we'll be replacing the F250s with now?

    I’ve said it before from get-go that paying for $30-$40K for a new pickup truck is ASININE!!! The payments are literally more than what I pay on my mortgage!
    And right now from the way interest rates are going they’re unobtainable!

    The cheapest pickup trucks I’ve seen new or used is the Nissan Titan. Depending on which trim level those are running between $21K used up to $45K new or slightly used. Nissan is discontinuing them after this year so I would expect them to at least offer some kind of rebate or incentive to move the last of them out of inventory.

    Excellent choice. Only problem with the new toyota tundra is they're discontinuing the v6 and replacing them with twin turbo 4 cylinder.
    Them v6s will last.

    I knew Tacoma was going to a 4 banger in 2024 but I hadn't heard that about Tundra. LOL...It better be a real strong 4 if it wants to compete with the big boys.

    They have no plans to replace it,meaning if you want a Nissan pickup truck,you’ll have to spring for the midsized Frontier.
