    Thanks for allowing me to be a member! I'm in the throes right now of a decision to purchase a 2023 TRD ORP, currently the owner of an F150. I just started another thread regarding my recent test ride findings that I'm grappling with before moving forward:
    Debating on a 2023 TRDORP purchase
    Thanks again!

    Welcome. Comparing an F150 to a Tundra is apples to apples. Comparing an F150 to a 4Runner is apples to oranges. It will really depend on your usage.

    Get the 4Runner if you need something with enclosed cargo space, off-road and overlanding capabilities, reliability, and a great BOF Costco wagon. Leaving the F150, you will lose towing capability, lose better MPG, lose truck bed capabilities, and anything else truck related.

    Welcome from Wisconsin! I had full size pickups before, they are very useful in many ways. Go for the 4Runner, if you find things aren't what you thought..... improvise.. adapt.. overcome! You know the drill... Just kidding, if the 4Runner turns out to be not what you need, go look at the Tundra, the vehicle thing is not forever. Good luck on your decision

    It is an apple to orange comparison but if it helps I went from F150 to 4Runner and couldn’t be happier.
