It is hard to beat the reliability of the Toyotas. I think long term, the Toyota will give longer service without any issues than the Ford. I am talking about 200,000 plus miles over 15 plus years.
I had a 2007 Toyota Matrix. Lot's of issues...electronic. Got rid of it early. My experience, this Toyota invulnerability is a bit of a myth. I bought into it, until I had one as a vehicle. My experience, they're not any better or worse than other vehicle.
A buddy has a 2013 Ford F150, 5 liter V8, 4WD. Bought new and used a lot. No issues.
I'm not a Ford guy, and even though I think the F150 isn't a good looking truck, I must say it's a very good, reliable truck.
