colinneil Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Well i am no mechanic, and also it has been translated by the wife so maybe not entirely correct. Loose joints on the steering, handbrake keeps failing, drivers door not a good fit, it has already been changed but problem persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ford box is aluminium over a steel frame.....Two dissimilar metals under stress & load are going to set up a fatigue factor....From what I have heard Ford is providing bed liners now so the truck bed bowing does not show - the liners spring back to original shape.... It doesn't seem like that rear weight load distribution would be advisable with an aluminum bed....Especially if it were a part of the normal operation of the vehicle....The Ford trucks here haven't been abused enough years to see if they would stand up to what Toyota has already proven.....

pgrahmm Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Away from all the gun/mud slingers & insult experts whine-ding their way through the thread the OP needs to also look at the other factors in his search.... In looking for a "farm" vehicle/hard life truck.... Reliability, longevity, reputation = Toyota, Probably - Isuzu #2 Dealer availability in his surrounding area = Usually more Toyota dealers around.... Quality of dealer service providers = Toyota // Aftermarket - Toyota, then probably Isuzu.... Part availability now + 5 - 10 years down the road (dealer & aftermarket) = Toyota - 1, Isuzu - probably #2 Ability to withstand abuse = see far more Toyotas overloaded & battered & still rolling year after year, after year.... There have been some good, earnest threads on this with owner's helpful comments based on experience....Covering long term issues & plusses, observations, systems, wear & tear, handling under different conditions.... One thing I've noticed is on long, hard pulls, ripe for an overheating situation I have hardly - if ever -seen a Toyota pulled off and overheating but have seen many Isuzu's...... Food for thought post only.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
