I'm looking into how the AIP issue will be handled under the Certified Used warranty that I have on my '07 5.7 DC (or wont be handled as the case may be). I have been giving the F150's a serious look even though I had a mid 90's Ford Exploder engine die on me while on a road trip. If they've turned their stuff around I am giving them very serious consideration.
I drove a 2010 Super Crew 5.4L with the 6spd the other day, and the power was absolutely underwhelming. The mileage on the mountain roads and on the highway that I took it on was staggeringly better than the Tundras though - much much moreso than I was expecting from only a 0.3L difference. The handling and the steering precision of the F150 was worlds beyond that of a Tundra too. Firm, planted, tight. Being able to get the long bed with the full 4 door is a real nice feature too that Toyota shorted on.
Of course, the price difference is impossible to ignore too. I find myself questioning what exactly makes the Tundra worth that much more if they aren't really all that reliable.
Anyone jumped to one of the new F150's or looked into it seriously? Anyone jumped TO a Tundra from an '09 or '10 F150 and why?
