New gen Tacoma six foot bed and carrying a bike

A sexy dumpster

If a CT were within my budget, id honestly consider one. Ive had nearly every motor in an f150 from 04 on. The 2.7 is the motor hands down in that flavor. I had a 15 5.0 Platinum with 3.73s and it was nice, but my 20 3.5 max tow with 6.5' was in a different league while towing. The 2.7 is just the perfect daily if you can live with a 5.5' bed. The tesla would be perfect for 90% of our usage but we only keep one nice vehicle which means it has to go on family vacation drives and i wouldn't wanna deal with having to charge on the road. 

all the industry reviews and mechanic consensus is the Coyote is the best motor by far for reliability. If you're talking about the twin turbo 2.7 I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. Mileage goes to shit with the turbos and reliability isn't great either. Maybe a thrill for the Raptor crowd but for an everyday civilized driver and workhorse I go Coyote every time.

We have a New Tacoma with a long bed, the bike fits perfectly in it. The truck is great in every way. There are lots of great options out there, it just depends on what you like in a truck and what is important to you. 

Might want to look in to the 2.7 again. Im a lifelong ford guy and 10 years ago you couldn't convince me a twin turbo 6 banger would be what its become. 5.0s don't come without trouble, specifically from 2018 on. Phasers are very common. The 2.7 is built similarly to the powerstroke if you look into it and it's becoming the 7.3 of the half tons.. It doesnt have the phaser issues the 5.0 and 3.5 do.. turbos failing is not very common on the 2.7 either. The gen 2 is the ticket. My mileage towing my 6000# toy hauler is no less than my 5.0 3.73 truck was and when daily driving it gets 3-4mpg better. Any 18+ ford with the 10 speed could fall victim of the cdf drum falure  in the transmission tho. Atleast until 22 when it was revised. Id never own an 18+ 5.0 with all the oil consumption issues. The 15-17 was very solid tho aside from mentioned cam phasers, water pump around 120k, and occasionally lead frame in the 6 speed.
