I currently own a 2007 Tundra that I bought new. It's been a great truck but it's had it's issues. Biggest was for a string of about 4 years starting at around 50,000 miles it would chew though the serpentine belt every year. Dealer couldn't figure it out. Eventually the problem got to the point where a belt was only lasting 6 months or so, needless to say I wasn't happy. Finally when I was about to get rid of it, one of the techs noticed the main pulley was warped, turns out they had redesigned it for the newer model years due to early shortcoming. Toyota replaced it well after the warranty was up no charge to me. Other than that I had bearing in one of the wheels go out, but it's been a pretty solid truck. My wife had an 05 explorer that pretty much had every issue under the sun leading up to a transmission failure at 55,000 miles. Ford refused to fix most of the problems and told me at the time that there was nothing they could do. Prior to that point my wife and I had only ever bought ford vehicles, as her grandfather worked for Ford and we were fairly loyal to the brand. So what's the point of this meandering story, it's that every vehicle has issues, what's more important is how the company responds to those problems. I'm trying ford again because I love the Bronco and want to believe that they will be better about customer service and take more pride in their product. If I end up in the same situation as my 05 explorer I probably won't give them a third chance at my business.
