My New Ride

Bye bye Tundra.



I was having some unsolvable mechanical issue so I solved the problem myself. If you want to read about it https://www.tundras.com/threads/2020-differential-needle-bearing-failure.80612/page-7#post-2392178

I’ll be buying the 2022 when they come out but I’ll wait about 6 months to see how it’s received and for the prices to stabilize.

 

Congrats on unloading your Lemon. I have to admit I can't identify from just the side shot, Ford?

 

Congrats on the buyback. Wishing you stress free times ahead with the Nissan, you earned it.
Keep us posted on the '22.

 

Should have looked at the Dealership sign it seems. Best of luck with it.

 

Good eyes. I wasn’t expecting much but it’s actually a fairly peppy truck. I had a 2018 Tacoma before my Tundra and the 4.0 in the Frontier is a much better truck motor. The worst part about the frontier is that there is no Bluetooth, CarPlay or android auto. Maybe I’ll swap a headunit in it while I wait for the Tundra.

 

Glad you're happy with it, that's all that really matters in the end.

 

Congrats - hope you still answer all of our questions. You have been GREAT and an extremely valuable member of the Forum.

 

Congratulations.

 

Congrats on unloading the problematic Tundra. Please stick around as you wait for your 2022!

 

Enjoy your Nissan!!

 

Thks, I’m not giving up on the Tundra or Toyota. My family are all Toyota fans and when you work at Toyota University (it’s a real thing) they make you drink the Toyota Kool-aid. I’ve drank more than a couple of glasses.

 

Congrats

 

The 22's look very promising on the YouTube videos. In the end for me anyways will be how the 10 speed transmission shifts with the V6 engine. Hopefully no lag etc. I am being offered more than I paid for my 2021 including taxes then I paid last year and think about selling. I would just hate that the 2022 isnt sorted for a couple years and who knows what the prices will be vs 2021's.

 

Congrats on the new ride Dave! Looking forward to the update when you buy the next Toyota.

 

That was one of the reasons I sold it back to the dealer, paid 43K and sold it back for 45K after almost 2 years of ownership (Canadian dollars). I still did loose some because of accessories and taxes.

 

the Tundra went back to a Toyota dealer but they didn’t have anything reasonable cost wise. They had a few newer Tacoma’s that were going for around 35k but I didn’t want to drop that much into a truck that I would only have for a year. The Frontier came from a Nissan dealer. Low kms, one owner, good carfax with no accidents and got it for 25k (CDN). I actually impressed on how it drives. It has a very responsive engine, quiet at highway speed and actually has a better ride quality than my Tundra over bad roads. Now the bad, very dated interior, piss poor back up camera, old man tan interior colour, no blue tooth or android auto.

 

Looks like someone posted before they read the thread, busted!

Either way, nice truck

 

We are one our holiday and the little Nissan is doing very well. I’ve pulled my TT with three different trucks, a 2018 Tacoma Sport manual, 2020 Tundra SR5 and now the 2013 Nissan Frontier SV auto. Buy far the Tundra pulled the TT the best best the Frontier pulled it better than the Tacoma. The 4.0 in the Frontier has more torque and running up grades is much easier. Noise in the cabin is as quiet as the Tundra. So far I’m impressed with the Frontier. It’s making for an excellent bridge vehicle until the 2022 Tundra is available.

 

Glad that the Frontier is working out for you. Your pictures make me want to squeeze out one more camping trip this year.
