Test drove a 1794 - Talked numbers. LOL x2

ya I just don’t like this gen of Chevys either

 

The new 1500 GMCs are worse. They look like a washer dryer combo.

 

Ehhhh

 

What part? And been meaning to ask what part of Florida you're in. I go down here and there to fish Keaton Beach, if you know where that is.

 

This is how I see my Tundra as a "tool"

 

That guy is not having a very good day.


Something something, 2018 best year, something something.

 

This is unreal!

 

Scotty is so excited in the video that he is making me seasick with that camera.

 

LTZ LEDs or go home

If spending 70k on a truck, that’s the one to get. Don’t get why people pay 70k for a Tundra

 

If you could harness just the energy in his voice you could power a city.

 

I probably would trust them as much or more than my TTV6 or at least on par! I mean Euro has past the point where these things fail but most of us are sitting on the impending doom that Toyota has given us!

I don't mind the idea of driving mine till it fails but since I use it for towing and trips involving distance with the trailer. I am not too sure if I want to get stuck in the middle of no where with my truck and trailer. My confidence has been shattered with this truck!

I am not too excited about unloading it and taking a big loss either.

It is weird that my last Toyota was a 73 Celica but that was a great little car! My 22 Tundra is my first vehicle that I don't trust to get the job done.

 

Are you living it 1/4 mile at a time instead?

 

You think this is bad, you should check out the Formula One comment section on planetf1.com ......every post is toxic

 

12.75% was my first mortgage.....and that was a deal

 

I hear that! I am not one to worry about these things in general but when I have a trip planned and my family, it just makes me wonder if we are going to make it. Bringing out a wrecker to tow the truck is one thing but dealing with my trailer is another. I am sure that a Chevy V8 would have its share of issues and perhaps implode as well. A Ram or Ford, same sort of situation. I guess this is the landscape we all are playing in these days!

I guess my expectations are muddied by the stellar reputation that Toyota seems to have and what I am seeing. Did they trip and fall on their face with the Gen 3 Tundra? Will they get up and move forward to make it as good as their reputation would dictate, I don't know. If Toyota took the problem and corrected it proactively, that would certainly instil some confidence in the company. So far it seems that this is a secret that no one wants to talk about except for the internet.

I have a small business that requires me to be at sites. If I don't make it because my transportation fails me, that has a ripple effect on others who have hired my company. There are so many times that I could use the "My engine failed" excuse before it gets old. I guess I could get the tow truck driver to swing by the sites and drop me off I guess my dependance on "reliable" transportation is a high priority for my business and when we do get to slice out some time for a trip, we want to be able to take the trip, and not have to rent an F250 to tow the trailer.

To be fair, I don't know of anyone, personally, that has had a TTV6 failure other than members of this forum. I don't use FB so I don't get all that quality info.

 

because I like them better and don’t want a big 3 hd truck that is more than I need and with gm quality that rides like shit most times unless loaded up

different tools for different jobs

 

We haven't, but we'd like to.

 

Gas, without hesitation. But, my reasons may differ from others’.

I use my vehicle for (my job) work, so part of the costs are covered by them.

I purchase and own the vehicle. If I buy a gasser, I save ~$10K.
I maintain the vehicle. Gassers are cheaper to maintain (oil, filters, you name it). Gassers don’t typically eat up tires as fast…

Work pays for 100% of my fuel. I don’t care about the difference in mileage, which can be argued to be offset by the typically higher price per gallon.

Either engine option in a new HD will pull anything I need to haul.
A diesel will have higher resale, but it doesn’t pencil out to a savings in my situation, by a substantial margin.

When I finally get tired of my Tundra, I’m eyeballing a new F350 with the 7.3 gasser pretty hard. A GM 3500 is second choice.

 

Oh, that far north. Frostbitten desolate land of Georgia. You must be the bravest Floridian ever lived.

 

Not sure after post COVID crazy market and hyper inflation but diesel HDs used to be the world champ in value retention. You could own them a long time and put crazy miles on them and sell them for tons. Demand always outstripped demand by a wide margin.

Not so sure that is the current state with loaded diesels being 90-100k rigs. They maybe entering high end kraut burner territory if you can afford a used one you can afford to spring for a new one

The ones without cylinder deactivation, absolutely.
