    Modern advertising culture sucks

    Geez, so true. I upgraded paramount plus to get out of ads, and they still show their own ads for their shows. Ugh.

    But turbo engines don't fail!

    I read auto news a lot. One thing I know for sure is every vehicle has at least one issue that develops over time, even the claimed bullet proof ones. It’s a fact of life that vehicle engineering goal is “good enough”, not “perfect”.

    Modern advertising culture sucks

    This crosses the line and if brought to reality, I’ll never buy another Ford. That said, I know companies patent all kinds of ideas just to claim them, not necessarily to use them.

    2025 Nissan Armada Pro4x

    I considered a Titan XD for towing our horse. What I found from the 22 Pro 4x I drove was a truck with the weight, heavy steering, and rough ride of a super duty without the capability of the most capable 1/2 tons, f150 with max trailer tow pack towed 2k more than the Titan and drove 100%...

    But turbo engines don't fail!

    I admit being skeptical at first because of the 80’s-90’s generation of turbos. But now half my vehicles have turbos and I just have to hope they are more reliable now.

    But turbo engines don't fail!

    22+ Tundra and 22+ Tacoma also spec 0w-20. There was some speculation that too thin oil going 10k oci’s were contributing to the blown bearings. hard to prove though.

    But turbo engines don't fail!

    I have total trust and confidence in the turbo in my Taco…by the way, did I tell you about the 10yr/125k warranty I bought?

    Tim's Tacoma Review

    I think what I appreciate about you is your sense of fairness across brands. Most of the YT reviewers are national enquirer style click baiters. I refuse to watch their pile on “tragedy” vehicle reviews. These days, I’ll watch you and TFL. The rest are unalived to me. I dropped BH when he put...

    ICON broken Tacoma update

    What really impressed me was driving over some mountain passes and not having the get out of the fast lane because I’m being tailed by full size trucks, like I would have in every prior generation small/midsize pickup.

    Tim's Tacoma Review

    I agree, and also agree with Fightnfire about other brands prices softening. High interest rates suck, lol If you can’t pay cash and seems to have sucked the enthusiasm out of the market. I had a gladiator a few years ago so that was a known quantity to me. I looked at a 17k off willys and...

    Tim's Tacoma Review

    I caught up on this thread and have another perspective on the Taco’s cost. For me, it is overall value. That’s the initial price, capability, and resale price at the end of my journey with it. Historically, you can’t go wrong with the Taco for value. That said, I agree that the MSRP on the 24...

    Will the 24 Tundra fall under the recall???

    I’m more skeptical on this. If I were betting on a future outcome, I would bet on an expanding recall. Here’s why: I‘d have to trust that Toyota is being 100% transparent with the root cause. Over the last 1.5 years, the “reasons” for the failure changed over time to the current engine debris...

    ICON broken Tacoma update

    Recently bought a 24 Tacoma and nothing has broken on mine. I’m totally happy with it. I looked at the Ranger/Canyon/Gladiator and I thought the Tacoma was better all around for 43k.
