Ford and toyota

Cs361 · 06-03-2009, 11:23 PM

I just got my licence and I have a choice of 2 trucks. A 1999 ford f250 v10 longbed and a 1995 toyota Tacoma. Gas mileage isn't a problem but I like to go 4 wheeling and mud bogging. That ford is almost twice as long as the toyota. I need help. What would you do?

the toyota would be a better everyday driver and if you go mudding in some tight spots it would be alot easier to turn around and pullout, but it would also be nice to put some exhaust on that v-10 and let it roar, really depends on you and your likes, also look at how much each one will cost to get it to your liking

how about both?? use the toy as the daily driver so you have a dependable vehicle and the 250 as the mud toy.

I personally do not like the V10 gas engines, either ford or dodge. Never had anthing but bad luck with them......... we have 10 of them at work and well........ we had 10 of them at work...... the v8 fords are still going strong, and the v10's have pretty well worn themsleves out, and with half the miles........ most trucks aren't driven like they are out here in the mines......In 8- 15 inches of sloopy clay mud for mud for 6 months
