Trade 2020 Raptor for 2023 Tundra TRD Pro?

[FordTechOne]

Fordtech always has to have the last blast, I haven’t contributed to anything other than buying a truck that I like and want to own.

Go back and read your claims about how much better your new Tundra is than an F-150.

I get free oil changes for 25k miles, a 7 year 100k mile warranty standard, a 150k 10 year warranty is optional, 80 dollar premium fill ups, less insurance less taxes. It might be less truck but I like it and all that matters is if I like something. I don’t owe Ford crap since I have bought tons of their products before. I’m sure I will buy them again.

A standard extended warranty. Now isn’t that quite a game changer.

Toyota employees are paid quite well to assemble these and they look happy. Have performance metrics that makes them more money they average 65k a year and that is a great middle income salary. So they might not make the 75-80k of a uaw employee but they have videos of them producing in that facility and they look happy. All companies have issues these days but saying a truck which is produced in America, has more American content in it then any other truck is just dumb.

Once again, Tundra does not have more US content than an F-150. It was posted earlier, but you continue to regurgitate your previous mythical beliefs about your “American” foreign company instead of accepting and acknowledging the facts.

Amazing that the contracted toyota “employees” look happy in the video advertisement

As far as salaries, that is not even close to a realistic number. They’re starting below $15 an hour and most are part time, so that they can adjust for production changes with paying unemployment. But I’m sure you have some secret made up data about that too.

That isn't what the job review board says but whatever. Skilled positions there pay 20-30 bucks an hour

Pretty sure that $65k a year is below the poverty level.

Depending on where you live. 65K in the South isn't too shabby.

You're the one that walked in here talking shìt.

Explain how one loses $40k over 5 years driving a raptor? I put 50k mi on my 2019 and i think it's probably worth close to what I bought it for... economics aside, the market is definitely not what it was in fall of 2019..

You've lit yourself on fire in this thread.. I'm sorry you feel the way you do about the UAW.. closing plants and displacing 1000s of workers that felt the unionization was the right path, for those making the choice to go thru that ugly process, is probably not only against the law but also shows what that company thinks of the American workforce...

Japan has a much different business culture than the United States... it's great they have chosen to build their cars here but also if you look at resale value on any Japanese car built here, vs. built over there, there is a vast difference in build quality and reliability.

I'm not sure there is anymore cars built in Japan that make it here anymore.. they were pretty good back in the early 2000s but the ones built here have always been subpar compared to the ones that came over...

Enjoy your decisions...

You bought your raptors used as did I, go buy a new gen 3 for 78-86 k if you can even find a dealer to sell you one for msrp. Watch it be worth 43-47k with 50 thousand miles on it 4-5 years later. I do agree the Japanese built models are better in some regards as quality goes but the new generation Seqouia/ Tundra was built by toyota the right way. Yall scared the op off his decision. Luckily I don't need a message forum to validate my decisions for me. Raptors are great trucks but I never used my Raptors with teh exception of the gen 1 like they were supposed to be used.
