Bah, even your truck's a rolling computer. :D Trucks/cars are bound to get more complex, like anything else. Embrace the change, man. :smiley_drive: Remember all those cranky retrogrouches that scoffed at your truck when it came out? My reasoning was safety. We've got kids and there are...

That's too bad. I am hearing better things about the 2nd gen 3.5's, so hopefully that'll pan out to be true. Good luck with the next truck, but remember, no platform is fool-proof. Even the "bulletproof" severely-underpowered 22RE had issues (timing chain related, too, if I recall). Diesels...

Ford has the turbos, GM and Dodge are promoting diesels. Wish Toyota would do SOMETHING. Hybrid is a natural fit, but whatever it is, hope they step up their game, and soon.

I don't use studs for crust riding and never felt the need. Only needed for ice riding.

That's the exact reason why I also left the Toyota camp after owning 5 trucks. Still happy I did. The Colorado is a nice looking truck. I was parked by a Z71 today. Looked real sharp. - Unless Toyota shapes up, I'll continue to buy other brands next go around (except the Nissan Titan. Them...

Any of the full size trucks with an 8' bed. Maybe something like a Power Wagon (Tradesman). Ready to go out of the box for your deep ruts and monster boulders. EDIT: I guess the PW doesn't come with an 8' bed. Well, a 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck with an 8' bed, slight lift and 33" tires would do...

Sorry you had a bad experience with your truck. 3.5L is a nice engine, but definitely loses to diesels in towing and MPG under load. As it has been said many times, ecoboost engines can be fuel efficient, but it largely depends on your driving habits. Of course, your larger wheels and mods...

Now that's a truck! Looks like a work horse.

I've had a Rawland bike. Nice bikes, for sure. Sean on the other hand....I had a few questions about the bike few years ago, which he emailed back a few days later. He did apologize for the delay, saying he has been sick (which was true) and he'd answer back in a few more days. Follow up...

I guess it depends on your definition of "off-road". The Cruiser is slightly smaller, more robust, and a better off-roader. But the Sequoia can handle its own. There are PLENTY of trails you can take it, especially the 1st Gen with the solid rear axle. The newer gen has a bigger 5.7L, but...

No doubt about that (RE: bigger tank and FE); however, that would add even more weight to the duramax that it doesn't need. I don't think they've even got room for a bigger tank under there?

How old are your kids? The 3rd row is pretty tight on the LC's. Even for smaller teens. - Personally, for a family of 5, I would look for a Sequoia, Suburban, Yukon with 2nd row captain chairs. Easy access to the back. More room behind the 3rd row to haul cargo. Then search out a 60-series...

A simple fairing would work nicely, but the problem is still the rear end. With a huge flat area (like seen above) produces drag. This is why the fuel efficient cars are tear shaped, reducing that size of the rear end. You see the same with semi-trucks. Ever seen those panels sticking out...

There is nothing like seeing the vehicle in person. Looking at pictures and spec online is one thing, but sitting in and driving the vehicle, and even talking to the owner in person tells me more than the hours of research. Have fun with the new car. :)

I see a couple of follies with that. - 1- 1 to 2 hour set up time. I'd rather just get a regular fiberglass shell at that point. 2- Not waterproof. Seriously? - Also, "the USTruckTent cover is finely engineered to stop any wind drag." I don't think he understands aerodynamics too well.

I know a lot of those aftermarket companies like Garrett and APR made a killing promising big HP for not a lot of money, but bet they didn't consider the cost of an engine rebuild! A friend of mine cracked his block on his 300zx doing that exact same thing. - I guess I find some comfort in that...

Didn't you just build that up? Why the sale? How's it compare to your Fatback?

If he isn't, it would be a red flag.

Are you towing a lot? Or need the payload? I could see myself going 3/4 or 1 ton, if I were decided on getting a slide in camper. But for now, 1/2 ton seems to work just fine for me. I have a 2.7L with 36 gal tank as well. I've got 600+ mile range, so I'm good there. Diesel wouldn't add...

I absolutely hate all factory NAV's. Especially if the HVAC is integrated. KDSS is a nice feature and getting a newer vehicle....the decision is obvious for me. The only thing would be to take it into Lex/Toyota and have them check out the oil leak. Could be the oil pan, or could be...
