    i have an 18 and I know they are reliable blah blah blah. But, everything around the engine, body, parts, bumper, interior, etc, is plastic fucking junk. Soon as I can sell this junk, I will. I’m buying something made of metal or if I’m gonna get junk, might as well get something with a decent stereo and other technology that Tundra should have had several years ago.

    Ps.
    Had to replace a bumper cap and on of my parking sensors fell apart. Also found out the dealer didn’t bolt the skid up last week during oil change.

    Are you going Ford, Chevy or Ram? Nissan should have great deals too.

    Don’t forget to say goodbye :wave:

    Let us know what truck you go to that doesn’t have plastic everywhere. Maybe a 1973 model? That will surely have an awesome sound system from the factory. Hell, you might even get the new cassette player upgraded from an 8 track.

    But that's no fun! I want everyone to know I bought a 40k junker. I mean if my truck was all metal I would have been safer in my accident....oh wait I was fine. I guess plastic keeps these beautiful trucks under 6k lbs

    If I was buying something made of metal, this would be a good start. Badass

    I’m curious as to what vehicle you feel is better? They are all plastic now days, some may still have “metal” bumpers but they are thin as can be.
    Plastics in the engine bay are common for all makes and models.
    So when it comes right down to it for me it’s the ( I know they are reliable blah blah blah ) that keeps me around.
    Please go by you a new Chevy and let them put you a few torque converters in, or better yet the whole transmission.
    Go by you a new Ford and deal with engine shutdown if it’s to humid, and aluminum body panels that look like garbage. (Look at one for real)
    Or better yet get a new Ram watch the fancy radio NOT work.
    Better do your research before jumping ship around here.
