    Are Leather Seats in Trucks Going Away? Automakers Getting Cheap?

    I like leather and I was very disappointed that my 23 Tundra Limited had softex(synthetic) seats. Yes, that seemed like a cheap out to me.

    2023 F-150 known problems

    I hope you have alot of room in that document, it’s going to be a long list. I entertained getting a F150 in 2024 and everything I read made it clear that all the problems the redesign came with in 2021 were unresolved in 2024. I read about sensor issues, transmission issues, and hvac systems...

    2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Review: Power, Personality and a Few Puzzling Choices

    I originally went to a dealer to buy a 2021, knowing it’s deficiencies, especially for a 6ft tall person. I didn’t like the way that particular vehicle drove, as I was leaving and telling the salesman that I didn’t like that truck, the GM overheard and told me I should try the “new” tacoma. I...

    Automotive YouTube Channel Are Struggling

    He lost me a long time ago with his “I’m selling my defender because it’s unreliable” video because he let the battery die during the freezing Colorado winter. Dipsh*t. Of course, these excuses are contrived, he just got all the play out of it and needed to get out of it and into the next...

    New Jeep Gladiator V8, Dodge Durango Jailbreak?! Stellantis Returns to Old Playbook, Smart?

    It’s not exactly a mass market appeal or benefit. 100k Gladiator is going to sit on the lot. Gladiators, are a niche pickup at best with a poor breakover angle and challenging ergo if you are taller and have greater than size 7 feet.I owned a 21 Rubi and my 11” foot wouldn’t fit properly on the...

    Can A New Ford Midsize EV Pickup Recreate “Model T” Moment Save Struggling Business?

    Anything’s possible, but I think we’ve seen limited and narrow interest in electric trucks due to their many limitations. Maverick would have been awesome price wise but greedy dealers just added 15-20k markups ruining Ford’s best selling point, a cheap basic pickup-ish vehicle. If they hit the...

    Bought another 24 Tacoma

    Long story short, my daughter‘s a farrier and her 01 ford explorer I bought her two years ago broke and she needed a new truck and wanted a 24 Tacoma. At 20 years old, she’s not a seasoned car buyer and negotiator, so I told her I’d sell her my 24 Silver Tacoma for what I paid for it two months...

    First oil change at 1551 miles.

    I’ve always had a process for my new vehicles. I take it easy for the first 1k miles, try to drive at 55 ish actively varying speeds whenever possible. Sometime between 1k and 1.5k I get the oil changed. For Toyota vehicles, I burn the 10k service coupon, which I did today at 1551 miles so I...

    Your new truck must have a V8? Do engine cylinders even matter anymore?

    Manufacturers mislead all the time on payload. Look for a small asterisk and you’ll see that payload is on the most stripped short bed single cab 4x2 model. All the weight of a quad cab, 4x4, long bed full of electronics and a heavy glass moonroof.
