Journalism logic failure

I don't know why I even bother looking at articles from motorbiscuit.com. I always end up feeling more stupid than before I start reading.

This one compares the 2021 Tundra to the 2021 Ram. Even with a 14 year old design the Tundra is better than the Ram on more than half of the criteria they select for their comparison.

As the article is wrapping up I think "Huh, the title for this article is really misleading. The Tundra is still way better on most of the things that really matter for a truck and most of the other things they included as well." Then, totally ignoring all logic, they say the Ram is better. WHAT!? How would any reasonable person come to that conclusion using this information?

I don't know why I'm surprised. It's pretty typical of every one of their articles I've ever read.

motorbiscuit is the worse....blocked them from any feeds many months ago because they seem to have no automotive or industry knowledge. It is almost like they create articles from reading articles from other sites, or just make up something. Motorbiscuit is lies.

 

The start of the conclusion states, "Overall, the 2021 Ram 1500 is a better truck."

Maybe it is, maybe it's not, but that's a hilarious thing to say after writing that short article. Reminds me of peer reviewing papers back in school.

 

To each his own. Most just say the Tundra is dated and is less refined. To me that means, it’s a truck, not a luxury car with a bed, and it’s reliable. 12+ years as an auto tech and you wanna guess which one I’ve seen a whole sh*t ton less issues on???

 

Had i truly considered any automotive journalists opinion regarding the tundra when i was car shopping i wouldnt have bought one. I didnt see any stellar reviews. But in the end i felt the tundra fit all my needs and so i bought one and absolutely love it.

 

The article stated no DRL's, what a joke. I have noticed truck people have become soft. They want all this luxury crap that they will never use. I have had it all, from roll up windows to a Lexus that drives itself. The tech wears off fast and when it breaks you wish you never had it. I have being hearing the horror stories of the front windows and Dealers being the only ones to carry the correct windshield for the purpose of the sensors behind it. Or the front bumper being hit to the point that the paint wasn't even scratched but the sensors had to be re-calibrated. I have a 2020 and I couldn't stand the stay in your lane B/S. The smallest drift to either sides sets it off. I turned that crap off. Just like everyone was raving about the new, old now, GM 8 speed. The 10 speed is shaping up to be the same.

 

I've seen it for years. Every single reviewer says, "well,the interior is dated". Oddly enough,everyone that gets in my truck says its nice. Do we know it doesn't have a Tesla screen? Sure. But seriously, it tows, it hauls, it looks great and runs forever. Perhaps in an even odder move, I've noticed in the past year or so where they have said is it too old? And more and more are saying it's aged well etc. Almost like they want to pick it and agree it's the better truck BUT...the journalism world will mock them.

Oh well...it's a sweet truck. Not outdated. Functional.

 

Motorbiscuit is one of those shit websites that gets by on click bait titles so they can sell ad space, and nothing more. Blocked them a long time ago.

 

The big three move so fast with their updates you can’t even keep track of what lasts and what does not. A truck should not evolve this fast. It is utility first and foremost. Limp mode sucks 13 miles from the nearest paved road.

 

I know you don't care but my truck has DRLs...

 

I don’t know what gave you that idea but ok, you have DRLs and so does every 2020 truck.

 

Sorry, misread your post originally. Thought you meant complaining about no DRLs was a joke because they're unnecessary or something.
