Things I learned while truck shopping

The open rear window is going to KILL you gas mileage

 

I love my truck. Americans expect way too much from new cars. We forget that way more people in the world have no car than have one. Excessive technology is a sales pitch. Most younger Americans were born on third base(by world/historical standards) and think they hit a triple.

 

This is a solid TL,DR for this thread.

 

I think @07DCLimited ‘s analogy of trading in the wife was a home run

 

Good OP, and outlines why I finally ditched GM.

 

Thread is cool.

Having been through 3 new half tons in 10 years, I like this mantra I saw somewhere else. Give full credit to whomever…

Fuel Economy
Power
Reliability/Longevity

You can pick any two, but not all three.

 

I like my 2nd gen, but I also like the 3rd gen Tundra but I decided if I am going to get one I'll wait for the 3rd gen Sequoia since its same style and have room for Subs in the rear and still keep my Tundra, but also looking at possibilities of getting a Ram 4500 Cab chassis for towing/hauling. A lot of people use there truck as a all around utility vehicle, family, dogs, work, food, house work, bad weather and any thing else in between.
