I dunno, seems nicer than my trucks interior.. But, I wouldn't want an Armada with all the bells and whistles either.... I'm cool with circa 2003 tech, lol. Well... I do like Bluetooth.

I threw up in my mouth a little. Ford isn’t the standard.

We should boycott ALL purchases of Toyota vehicles across North America until they bring the 70 Series here for domestic sales!! I’m not joking either. Those rat bastards would cave pretty quick if we could pull it off.

I have refused to buy a Toyota USA vehicle since my new 69 FJ40. Since then I’ve had a BJ40 (new), BJ60 amd OJ40.

I bet those Armada's would be pretty slick with a slight lift and bigger tires, but I don't disagree. The interiors are pretty bad too, hello 2003...

That would help, but realistically most vehicles look ok with lift and tires even if they are butt ugly stock. I’m still not dropping $50 large on an Armada, or any new vehicle frankly. Now a nice used G might absorb that easily

They don't sell Land Cruisers in Canada. Only the Lexus version since 1997 I think.

The last actual Land Cruiser model sold in Canada was supposed to be the 1996 model year, but I’ve never seen a single 80 series that originated in Canada. Every one I’ve seen (a lot) have been USA or JDM imports. In real world terms, the ‘89 HJ62 was the last readily available Land Cruiser sold here. As of ‘96 the LX450s started showing up, and are fairly common.

Agreed Ford would not be the standard. Don't think either makes me throw up in my mouth though. From what I read, for fullsize trucks, Ram interior are usually rated quite high.

Yeah those Cummins diesels and AAM axles blow up ALL the time...

Neither made by dodge

 

[redthies]

Almost every part on every vehicle made these days comes from outside contractors. The OEMs design, spec and assemble, that’s about it.

Funny.... the majority of Dodge trucks have gas V8's.

Australians love american trucks. The thing is they are rare and expansive. Parts may become a problem as opposed to the 70 series which every bogan can fix and find a part for.

Here is a video what an Australian overlander did to his RAM. This guy has some good videos of that RAM perfoming very good in Australian outback. An in many cases the RAM shows better MPG than his TLC 200.
Cummins 18L/100km vs Toyota 25L/100km.
