What do you drive for a truck?

[Oaktree]

I have the 2019 version of your Tundra and had the 2007 version before this one. I put 150k miles on the 2007 with no problems before trading it in on the 2019.

Had either an '07 or '08 as a company truck at my last job. Worst truck I've ever had. Don't even get me started...

My vote would go for that sweet early 50s Chevy in one of the photos George2615 posted.

It's a 49. Was originally a fire tanker truck. I made the flatbed for it. and replaced the original babbit bearing motor with a 235Cu In out of a 55 car.

Over a 5k mile oil change interval I’m getting right at or a tenth or two over 15 MPG.

This includes all types of driving but only short trailer pulls (sub 50 miles).

My local driving is rural and interstate with little to no traffic and if not pulling a trailer I can get 16 MPG if careful.

If I’m empty and just on the highway it gets 18 MPG.

I think it’s great MPG for a truck that weighs 7420 pounds empty.

Damn, nuthin wrong with those numbers!

I'm sure if I drove in city traffic it would be lower, but as I drive, I am happy with it.

I'm typical rural and need a new truck. I tow a little, get groceries at times and do rural stuff with it. It stays pretty clean.

What do you drive?
And what do you do with it?

1. What do you tow?
2. Does it have to go in snow?
3. Do you drive in mud?
4. How many miles do you put on it?
5. Do you need remote power?

A 2007 F150 super cab 4x4 with the infamous 5.4L 3-valve motor. I’ve had it since it was new, it has holes now from the annual Michigan salt baths, but it keeps going with a little bit of tlc every so often. It tows the boat and other trailers, hauls most everything I need to, and gets me to work and back. I’m on the hunt for its replacement, repairs are getting too frequent lately.

I had that truck 2010, it developed the phaser problems. Running 20w-50 made the rough idle go away. I wonder why that worked? That was one of Fords worst engines.

I had a 2005 F150 with 4.6L 2 valve. I bought it used at 190k miles.
Really a great truck. I was dumb to have sold it
