Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

What do you call an explosive horse?


Neigh-palm.

 

Fingers crossed this all goes well! With you being fit and eating healthy you should make a speedy recovery. Just don't overdo it. Remember, slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

 

Keep in mind that there are far fewer 5.0 F150s than any of the other engines. Most of what you will see on the road are the 2.7 or 3.5 turbo jobs. The 5.0 is a much smaller percentage of the F150, so % of total produced V8 F150s could easily be matching the Tundras. It'd be a beast to try and pull that specific info, though.

 

I was thinking about making a pencil with an eraser on both ends, but I couldn't see the point.

 

Given Ford's production volume, they probably build more F-turds in a year with the 5.0 than Toyota makes (all) Tundras.

When I was active on a F-150 forum, one of the Mods got sick of all the 5.0 whanks saying the first gen 3.5 EB was a POS. He did some searching in the forum (not scientific; but interesting) and there were more people complaining of blown 5.0's than 3.5's. Remember, Forums = Facts.

Additionally, Ford redesigned your engine in 2018. The brilliant changes include low-friction piston rings and the forum blew up with people having oil consumption issues. Ford even published a TSB for it. Think it said "Fill the engine with the appropriate amount of oil, etch a mark in the dip stick, tell the customer to fuck off for 5,000 miles and come back to have the dip stick read" Or something like that, I'm paraphrasing.

Again, in true forum facts...most dudes that drove their truck hard from the get go didn't have issues. Those that babied it did. The Form-fact was you have to run it hot and hard (TWSS) to break it in properly (yes ma'am!).

 

You need to go back and watch some episodes of Miami Vice

 

I may be wrong, but I think that was directed at nobody

 

Heil!!!

 

I wasn't saying there weren't more V8 F150s than Tundras. There are. I was saying that all the F150s being new doesn't mean it's the V8s. Plus, how many people keep a truck anymore? They all swap them out every few years. Even the Tundras. They just all look the same for a longer stretch so you can't see the difference as easily. If Toyota made the Tundra have a new look every 2-3 years, you'd think all the Tundras were new too. (Just playing devil's advocate. I don't actually mind the ribbing about the ferd.)

They redid it in 2021. Oil consumption issue decreased each MY, and by 2020 MY it was exceedingly rare. Haven't been able to find any issues of consumption in the 2021+ except they has some porous blocks briefly. Chalk that up to the same type of issue as Toyota rusty frames. Also, resolved before my MY.

What it boiled down to for me was that used V8 Tundras were either too far away or way overpriced. That put to looking at new V8s. If you had to buy a new V8, which one would you get?

 

Idiots be idiots.

 

CARNIVOOOOOOOOORE!!!!

 

Fuck yes. DO ME! DO ME!

Wait, what?!

 

Weak sauce.

 

Sigh... *unzips*

 

I give you chit...but yes, all points taken. Glad furd figured out the 5.0 issues cuz that is a delicious engine.

I am not married to the V8-or-die cult and love the sound of booooooost. So the answer to your question is a 6.6ltr turbo DIESEL!

 

"Impress the Cattle"...full on LOL

 

Diesel isn't an option for me. I have 2.9 mile commute. That is a death sentence to a diesel. Also, no diesels in 1/2 tons worth a shite. Try again. V8 gasser in a 2024 Model Year. Which one would you pick?

 

She's a bison, thank you very much!

 

MUCH better!

 

Still the 6.6L.

But I have different truck needs than you do.

 

That's amazing.

And honestly...98% accurate!

 

Hilariously, the Ferd gets better mileage than the Tundra. I would not call it superior though. I bought least bad option for a new V8. If I could rewind time I'd kick my own ass for thinking about getting rid of Vera. Should have kept that truck. Live and learn.

 

He doesn't seem to be understanding the assignment. Does anyone know how to say "gasoline only" in french? Help me out, @Outbound .

 

ChatGTP is obviously a beeatch from CA cuz only CA people put "the" in front of a freeway name.
