I'm interested in buying a new truck, mostly because I've had this one for a while and I'm bored. I've seriously looked at the Tundra, Z71, and F150. I'll probably get an F150, but the Z71 has made major strides over the last 6 years.

I don't use the towing capacity much, I use the bead 5-6 times a year. I love the Ford because of the amenities. The stereo is great, the back up camera is the best on the market, it is extremely comfortable for anyone who gets in no matter where they sit. It rides very quiet and smooth.

I bought a 2014 Tundra Crew Max brand new and was dissatisfied with the tech (worked awful with Bluetooth phones) and literally had zero storage space in the cab. When I towed my boat I was getting single digit mpg - other than that an amazing vehicle. Sold it when I had a career change and came out even. Now that I'm stabilized I want to get back into a truck - just struggling on what direction to go. The Ford Platinum seems like a good choice - any word on changes for 2016 models? Is this the best truck on the market now?
