That being said why not a cummins? you can price them out really well and they net good (for a truck) mpg. 300+ hp and 800+ tq can also be had with a manual transmission in 2016, they also hold their resale value. Low mileage 2002 models with 100k on the odo still go for 10-15 grand.

Needing a truck, or wanting a truck? It sounds like his "needs" are a four door vehicle, w/bed and with space for kids. Best utility family vehicle with great gas mileage would be a Ridgeline at the moment... Unless Subaru can bring back the Baja because I'd jump on that in a heartbeat.

I just went through a similar process a few months back.
Ford really does make an awesome truck and I had been looking at the V6 ecoboost model. Slightly used and a great price. I did not buy it because I researched the engine, hit up forums, and looked at recalls first. That ecoboost engine is direct injection and has had its share of issues. Improper pcv system, oil getting in the turbo, severe valve/intake coking, etc... Not all owners have had issues with them but I found enough for me to decide to pass. I decided to buy a good old fashioned port injection engine. Ford F150 baby V8 was not a bad option but Ford was being stubborn at the time on pricing. Tacomas are great trucks, I personally owned a 2007 model and put over 100000 trouble free miles on it. But Tacomas are expensive and the dealers dont cut prices on them like they do the Tundras. So I bought a Tundra and have been happy with it so far. Port injected so no worries of common DI engine problems. I also got a smokin deal on it. Tundra's dont move like F150's or Tacomas and the dealers are very willing to make deals on them. |
