I agree that first production stuff can be more prone to problems but when one company builds the truck and one builds the engine, you have twice the chances of problems and Navistar and Ford have had the most ridiculous problems you can imagine. Back in 94 when the Powerstroke came out, Ford and Navistar could not even decide on crankcase capacity and actually came out with a recall dipstick. Texas Toyota 380 HP F150 killers are on the lots and moving fast. It will be interesting to see if Toyota gets it right again. When they go into the HD diesel one ton market, I am hoping they will make the engine themselves. That will probably be my next diesel pickup. Toyota quality made in good old Texas. Does it get any better?
