Why would you buy a Toyota truck? Do you want the worst economy in a pickup truck?I love Ford F150 Powerboost idea but, if Toyota drops info soon an onboard generator is available in the '22 Tundra before my retail PB order arrives, I will be seriously considering dropping my f150 order. Sorry, I know this is an f150 forum.
I got it last night! It's pretty much amazing and I'm so glad I pulled the trigger!Ok so did islandguy get his powerboost or did they upsale him to a 3/4 ton?
Has Toyota posted EPA numbers yet on the '22 Tundra hybrid max? May be better or worse than powerboost.Why would you buy a Toyota truck? Do you want the worst economy in a pickup truck?
you mentioned earlier that you intend to keep this thing for a long time.I got it last night! It's pretty much amazing and I'm so glad I pulled the trigger!
Lol I’m just poking at Toyota for their 18MPG highway they had for so long. 4x4 or course.Has Toyota posted EPA numbers yet on the '22 Tundra hybrid max? May be better or worse than powerboost.
Post Pictures so we can see you new ride!I got it last night! It's pretty much amazing and I'm so glad I pulled the trigger!
Get it i did and love it. You will have this for long time and get the value out of it.I've been waiting to upgrade my vehicle for a couple of years now, and just so happens that this year I got a new job that pays almost $20k more and I sold a house I owned in another state because prices were so high, so I have more money than last year and thought "now is the time to get a new truck!". I did all the research and realized that right now buying any vehicle is harder/more expensive than usual, but especially things like late model trucks, ugh. So that led me to think maybe buying a new vehicle for the first time ever wouldn't be a bad idea due to the market, and I discovered the fresh 2021 F-150 model and specifically the amazing PowerBoost. At first I thought I was crazy to want to spend $50k minimum for a truck, but then I test drove one, a Lariat (it's all the dealership had) and I LOVED it! So I started building mine online and realized that I don't want a $50k truck...I really want a $70k truck! After all I want to keep this thing for like 5 - 10 years, why not get something I'm excited about? That amount of money is absolutely insane to me, but I ran the numbers and surprisingly I can afford it, honestly fairly easily. So after keeping an eye on the market and looking into ordering one I found out that ordering a truck would take months, which isn't ideal for me because I have a list of projects I need to get done by the end of the year that could really benefit from having a truck on hand. So I looked into existing inventory and after searching and searching, calling dealerships and daily checking ford.com I finally found one with all the options I want (PB, FX4, Lariat, Tow Package, Blue Cruise Prep, 360 camera etc.) and I called and put a refundable deposit down on the truck and it had an ETA of about 3 weeks. Great, now I have time to think about it and decide if it's truly what I want to do...
Well it's been 3 weeks now and the truck has finally arrived! Oh joy! I'm scheduled to go pick up tomorrow, a 3 hour drive away from home. HOWEVER - now that things are about to get real, I am FREAKING OUT. Am I making a huge mistake? A $70k truck is going to depreciate so fast, and what if I lose this new job I have in a year? Do I really need a truck that nice? (obviously not, I want it!). Will the excitement I had while test driving it go completely away and I won't care about having a nice truck in a month or so, but still be stuck with $900 payments? (I can pay for it in cash, but will be financing if I go through with it because it's so cheap to do that right now). I do need a truck at this point, I do a lot of home improvement and a lot of outdoor adventuring and I've been itching to get one again for years, but am I making a mistake by being convinced by all the shiny options of modern vehicles? Should I have some patience and wait for the 2022 models, or will they just be the same but more expensive? What about Toyota - aren't they refreshing their pickups in 2022? I would really love an electric vehicle as well...should I wait for one of those?! Oh man, I don't know what to do any more and I'm over analyzing everything. I guess I'm just here hoping someone on here can relate and tell me their story - do you regret spending so much? Do you still love the PB months after owning it? HELP!
