My Tundra is a 2013 5.7Liter SR5 with CrewMax cab. Mechanically, this is the exact same truck as the one in the commercials pulling the Space Shuttle across that bridge.
Oh yeah!! I liked the simplicity of the Tundra. And the amenities inside were fine for me. I didn't do much research on the F-150. In 2013, I went to a Ford dealer, and all the F-150's on the lot only had a towing capacity of 7500lbs which was not enough. I definitely did not want an F-250. Later I saw guys showing up with Eco-boost Fords that supposedly could tow a lot. I don't know----my Tundra is simple. It has the towing package; tows a lot of weight and the temperature gauges for trans and oil temp NEVER EVER MOVE. I could be pushing hard up the steep Grapevine pass and the engine is revving pretty good and the needles don't move at all. Sometimes I wonder if they're broken.
I like the setup inside my 2013 better than the new version. The dealer offered to take my Tundra back and lease me a current truck with the exact same specs for no money down and a slightly lower monthly. I declined. I like what I have. I actually bought it off the lease early. Nothing, not one thing, has gone wrong with it yet. And I tow 9000+lbs with it on a regular basis. The truck just crossed 40,000 miles last week.
