That's honestly a great value especially if you could get some kind of dealer discount.

[@pnwdweler4100]

I guess the one big difference would be the front locker which can't be had on the HD, but you could add a front locker for a couple of grand.

The ford is ok looking without the winch. Add it in there and it looks like it belongs on an episode of Dr. Pimple popper.

I know Andre is trying to throw the TRD Pro a bone when talking about the t-case, but it doesnˋt hold water.

[@unfortunateson1660]

I like the new font grill on the Tremor and the new tail gate design. Even if the tailgate does not fully swing open Roman it is still an improvement over the old one.

[@Kaiser333333]

i dont know, just more problems, best tailgate is the one with the least amount of problems on a work truck. Ive heard from guys that absolutely hate the fancy tailgate on the GMCs because it gets filled with gravel/dirt/anything you put in the bed. The ford design looks slightly better maybe, but id prefer tried and true standard tailgate personally.

[@shitloveaduck]

Chevy ZR2 (2 lockers, amazing shocks/suspension). F150 Tremor, WITH the Torsen front differential. Decent suspension, but if you can do it yourself, about $2500 more and you are riding on Fox 2.5s. I had that, it was awesome!! Sold it to try driving 1987 & older classic pick ups (mint) as my daily drivers & cruisers. No money going to dealerships at all. My boycott, even of my friends’s dealerships!! Toyota TRD Pro. Great suspension, not much lift, and no limited slip or locker up front. A better riding FX4,,,,,. The front end of the F150 has improved significantly!! The other front end was looking almost as old as the 4Runner front end!! 😂😂😂. Time for some change! You get the EcoBoost for that massive torque curve & the performance!! The 5.0 is even slower than the 2.7 EcoBoost!!! It’s got a narrow torque curve, but sounds great. I want performance, vs sounding like it performs. 😂I. I’ll take the Tremor with the Torsen front end and WITH Pro Power Onboard!!

[@nathanchambers985]

The lack of Auto 4WD on the Toyota puts it at the bottom for me. It's a simple feature that all the manufacturers have except Toyota.

I’m sold on the coyote. 535,000 miles on my 2012. However I do not want so many features on the tailgate. Mine is falling apart and I have abused it , I cannot imagine this tailgate taking what I did to mine.

[@benmac1395]

I own a ‘22 Tundra and we tend to be fanboys. I have the TRD off-road and came from a ‘19 F150 FX4. The plastic chin and lack of front tow hooks is ridiculous on my Tundra. It also came with ballistic nylon (plastic) skid plates as a TRD Off-road. I had to buy the aluminum skid plate as an option that only comes on the Pro. I also had to buy an aftermarket front bumper to increase my angle of approach and get front tow hooks. Having done that, it is now a capable off-road machine. The Toyotas are slightly cheaper and hopefully will last a little longer than Chevy or Ford, but you will get a little worse MPG and have to aftermarket your machine to get a comparable off road truck. I will admit I like the Toyota better than my F150.

[@diggermolly5927]

Roman could not be more wrong with his rant about the tailgate. For someone getting older with an injured lower back, that gate opening can make the difference between loading a full gas can without incident and a trip to the emergency room. All because getting closer to the bed floor when loading eliminates twisting and bending too far forward. I would buy the truck just because of that tailgate feature.
