4 wheel drive, 4 door, and a diesel other than a 6.0...hmmm....Could the money we put into our trucks count towards a down payment? If so....can you say "Oshkosh"? That me friends is a SERIOUS 4X4. Or how about one of those F-650 pick ups with the Caterpillar engine ($90,000+)....yeah...I'd take one of those too.

I much appreciate info that is honest and from someone who seems to know the said vehicle. I have always had both Ford and Chevy in about equal numbers, maybe a few more Fords (will always have at least one), but this 6.0L I have now has been nothing but trouble...so much infact that I never want another.

Right now I could buy a 6.4L Lariet for less than what I paid for mine

I would either get the 6.4 in another CC 4x4 Lariat or the V10 but would get an F-350 longbed this time. As far as the Tundra goes, the engine appears to be pretty great but the frame is twisty like licorice. It's kind of like having a diamond shoved way down into a turd.

Yeah I have read about a flexy frame, and I do use the truck off-road ranch stuff and hunting. A long bed is sure handy, but won't fit in the garage and I already have a '91 7.3L 4wd Reg.cab with a long bed.
