    Nice Updates for the Frontier

    Love it! I miss my 2000 Frontier. Getting long bed Pro-4X would be awesome. Rear seats are tight but most other stuff was upgraded on the inside; bigger screen, power passenger seat, some styling queues. Not sure on the exterior, the front end is a little more plastic looking instead of painted.

    Subscription fees in trucks: yay or nay?

    No chance I am subscribing to anything after paying $50k+ for a truck. The truck comes with heated seats but now they want me to pay a fee to use them… come on. Let’s be real here.

    Painted rear diff?

    My 2008 has less rust that your 2021 did… that is ridiculous. Ford needs to better. You said GM wax coats it on the full size but not the midsize. Why?

    Tim, We need a F-150 Lightning forum in the EV section if you get around to it. Eric

    HD Truck

    I'm no expert in the HD trucks but sounds like to me that you MIGHT want to consider a diesel due to the amount of driving you do. It will give you more range while off road as well. It does add weight which is a negative but I figure the life expectancy of the engine will be longer. Maintenance...

    Ranger Raptor

    He needed one more package but at $41k, still a solid deal. Would have been nice with cruise control and sliding rear window.

    Ranger Raptor

    Agreed 100%. The screens in the Colorado and Canyon are much better than the other screens for sure.

    The truth about 2024 Tacoma transmissions failing

    Toyota cannot even fix the window trim on the new generation Tundra for three years now. Makes me think they won’t be fixing anything major in a quick manner either…

    Can’t please everyone

    Did he get triggered by the automated response that killed him with kindness?

    Ford F-150 Platinum Plus

    I guess the layoffs are starting to affect the PR team, smdh. I am starting to have concerns about product quality and reliability. As a Ford guy for life, it pains me to say that. Ram (Stellantis) problems have been well documented but it seems Ford and GM get a free pass. What you described...
