    New Ford Tremor

    Doug Scott at Ford has stated it publicly several times in the last six months that Ford will have a smaller pickup for the US market with a 1000 pound payload and a 3000 pound tow rating that gets better fuel economy than the F150 while costing considerably less In the US market, Ford has a...

    New Ford Tremor

    All true. Yet the industry analysts believe that Ranger sales were absorbed mainly by moves to half ton trucks, primarily the F150. We're only talking about the majority. I'm sure there were plenty of former Ranger owners that showed up at Toyota dealerships to buy a Tacoma. But not in any...

    New Ford Tremor

    If that's true, then couldn't it also be true that Toyota simply sold more Tacomas? And Nissan simply sold more Frontiers? Even if they did NOT.....there are still almost 50K units of lost Ranger sales that the Tacoma and Frontier have not recaptured. They went somewhere, no? With the...

    New Ford Tremor

    Ahh....noooo. This is a F150, not a midsize. Slushbox? Yep. Just like every other new F150, Super Duty, Silverado, Sierra, Tundra, Titan, etc, etc On paper, it should be quicker than the previous SVT Lightning

    New Ford Tremor

    I do have other photos, but I'm sure there will be tons of info/photos hitting the feeds in the next hour or so. It's always been risky when they make these two seaters with a console (this one even console shift, so no retrofitting a 3 pass split bench)..... the seats are neat, black...

    New Ford Tremor

    Same wheel (except black) and tire (Pirelli Scorpion STR) combo as some other F150 4x4s It does have FX4 off-road trim, so it's not pure street However, it's no Raptor or Powerwagon

    GM 6.5 liter diesel.

    The harmonic balancer failure is what causes the crankshaft fatigue/failure. Just plan on replacing the balancer with a new rubber type, or a Fluidampr

    Tacoma re-design: Predictions?

    Toyota does a good job with fuel economy with their cars, but tries way too hard to be 'capable' with their trucks so they are 'taken seriously'.....moreso with the Tundra, but even the Tacoma has really grown in machismo. The next Tacoma should be lightweight. It should be a little smaller...

    Nitro Gear Toyota Tundra Crewmax w/ 6.5' bed

    It's a great showcase for products and craftsmanship. It's just too bad that it took all of that work and a HUGE amount of money to replicate what you can walk onto a Ford, Dodge, or Chevy lot and buy today, with warranty.

    Family Vehicle Choice Predicament

    Yes, except both posters in this thread said "no vans" Otherwise, a full size van makes even a Sub look small inside, yet not much bigger outside. Great use of space. An extended van (pictured above) is just plain huge inside....keep two of the three-passenger benches behind the front two...

    Family Vehicle Choice Predicament

    If you're really intent on (eventually) having two adults, four kids (some in car seats and/or boosters) and two large-ish dogs......plus your gear.....everything will feel too small. The Suburban / Yukon XL / Escalade ESV are the largest, and even then it's going to be hard unless your gear...

    Pickuptrucks.com test of 2013 light duty pickups

    Well, we know it's not a 2014 then. Because DEF tank = diesel, and the new diesels are not out yet (and won't be out for quite a while). The only all-new trucks are half tons, and they've only been for sale for a couple weeks. It's not brand loyalty. I like lots of different trucks. I owned a...

    Holy Grail Truck

    Quad Cab was an OPTION on a 1998 Club Cab.....in other words, 1998s could have had rear doors, or not. They weren't even available the first couple months of production of the 1998 model year. So his truck is pretty rare
