Andre from TFL talked with an engineer about a variety of things relating to towing, payload, tires, etc. I always like these discussions when Tim or someone else talks with engineers. Maybe I'm biased because I'm an engineer, but I think a lot of guys in general like to know more about the...

I tried to open the forum on my ipad and couldn't even find the feeds. I installed an adblock app on the ipad and it helped a little but it's very slow to load now. I always run some sort of adblocker on my PC with the antivirus and it zaps the worst of it in those browsers.

I got an email from AT&T this morning saying that some of my data associated with my phone number was accessed by hackers. Supposedly no personal information was accessed, but they did get texts. What's concerning to me is I haven't had an account with AT&T for a couple years now. They kept...

The older I get, the more truth there is to the old saying, "They don't make 'em like they used to." That's mostly why I would like to have some of my previous trucks back. I've got 2 trucks now and I won't be getting rid of them. My 2018 Tundra double cab and my 2016 2500 Chevy. There are a lot...

There are several I wish I'd kept. I didn't have enough money or garage space to keep them all though. In order of priority which I'd have kept if I could: 1) 2000 S10 ZR2 2) 1979 Ford F150 that my dad and I rebuilt 3) 1996 Chevy 1500 ext cab 4x4 4) 1987 Mazda B2000. Sentimental reasons. 5) My...

I had a gut feeling there would be issues with electronic dipsticks. I can see advantages too, but when you see this picture, what do you think? I guess it depends if you really can’t drive until the sensor clears the warning.

BMW again.

https://www.youtube.com/@TheYotaChannel He has a video on his channel about a July 8th TSB about manual transmissions in the Tacoma. I tried to link his video, but he has it blocked from being linked on other sites. If someone else has a link to the actual TSB from Toyota, maybe they can link it.

If you're looking at used, maybe consider a half ton and add airbags for the limited times you haul a few hundred more pounds. Like you said, they ride so much better. I "upgraded" one of my company trucks to a F250 once because I thought I needed it for the few times I would haul heavier parts...

I'm not for, and never will be for, almost any sort of subscription attached to something I own. The only things I consider to be valid, recurring charges are things like a service that has ongoing expenses to the manufacturer or some other company. Satellite radio or internet access makes...

I remember loading the 79 Ford half ton we had totally full with firewood. It was a 2wd with a 302, C6 trans, and 8 foot bed. The sheet metal was a lot thicker and more durable back then. We only had to haul it out of the woods and through the field up to the house. Never did any damage to it...

Payload is a frequent topic and how limited it is in trucks. I watch this channel sometimes and couldn't help but think about payload when I saw what these people put on their bikes. I guarantee they are hauling more than some half ton trucks are rated to haul. It's a totally different world.

The markup on those add-ons that you can't opt out of are ridiculous. About the same as the markups on draft beer at a baseball stadium.

I drove a work truck with the fake engine noise. It was all well and good until a speaker got a rattle in it. I wish I had recorded the god awful noise it made so I could post it here.

You can't go wrong with some good drone footage.

I've also been thinking about getting a drone. I've been looking at reviews and the Holy Stone drones seems to be a much better value from what I've seen so far. I'm going to do more research, but they are so much less expensive and you can do free returns with Amazon, I'm probably going to get...

Premium fuel is so much more expensive it's not worth it in my opinion. It's 20-30% higher than 87 octane here. I wouldn't buy a truck that required premium. The reason it might be slightly more efficient and make more power is the engine can have higher compression ratios and more advanced...

It never really bothered me before, but after getting a 2018 Tundra, it had 0 rust anywhere. Can't say that about my previous Fords and Chevys though. After a couple years and about 14k miles I put on it, there's a little rust on the diff where rocks have hit it, but it's still better than the...

I vaguely remember TFL damaging a Subaru and never getting another. There may be more to the story than I remember. I guess some companies are less lenient than others.

I think it was in the middle somewhere. I am at my other house tonight without my computer. I opened it on my ipad and saw there was a transcript, but I don’t know how to search for it on my ipad. If you search for blood or ketchup that should get you there.
