agree. I peeled the bed stickers off. Would like to take the seat embroidery off. Probably going to remove the side steps and might wrap the nostrils in something more neutral. I’m good with everything else that’s functional.

Kind of interesting. I’m sure the Taco bros aren’t happy. Probably saying that ford paid JD power or consumer reports off. But if ford paid them off I imagine they’d focus on the big seller F150 (consumer reports said avoid) or the Explorer (also “avoid”). Why waste money paying for a good...

Having driven full and mid size trucks all my life I see why you like the F150. For me it’s too big but to each their own. as far as mileage goes, I think there is something subconscious that happens when you drive a full size truck. I am always much lighter on the pedal. I’ve heard it called...

Louisiana is an underrated state just like the Tremor is an underrated road trip vehicle. I have taken several 10+ hour road trips in my Tremor and have never been uncomfortable in the seats. Highway noise is not bad at all. Very impressed that the general grabbers aren’t louder than they are...

Would be easier/cheaper/cooler to make a manual bronco pickup.

So, you'd pay the same for a 13-inch pizza as a 14-inch? Afterall the additional cheese, peperoni, sauce and dough are negligible. How about for a cup of soup and a bowl of soup. How about for 2 gallons of gas and 2 1/8 gallons. There's lots of irrelevant apples to orange comparisons. Why does...

I agree to a point. Obviously cost of production has gotten more expensive, so part of the increased cost is that. How much they are gouging us on top of that is anyone's guess. But if there's plenty of competition, they shouldn't be able to get away with that for long. But then when production...

All things being equal (interior amenities, engines, tech), why should a midsize truck cost less than a full size truck? Because there is less steel and aluminum? I assume the cost of extra steel and aluminum is pretty negligible. Other than raw materials, it seems like production costs would...

One of my colleagues was always complaining about work and how others working in other groups had it better than us. Later I became his boss and told him that if the other jobs are so much better, then he should take another job. He never did take another job, but he stopped complaining to me...

Louis CK Everything is amazing & Nobody is happy - YouTube It wasn't long ago that the end of life for cars was at 100K. Now even the most unreliable cars make it way past that. Average is more like 200K now. And in inflation adjusted dollars you get way more from a car than you did back...

Would be interested to see side by side quotes from Zurich for an extended warranty for a Tacoma, Chevy, and Frontier. I bet they have a pretty good idea of the costs. Might be an objective measure of the relative reliability. If the difference is $1000 over the course of 7 years of ownership...

my wife’s Lexus was recalled week one because the front half shaft assembly was going to come loose bc it was installed improperly. My 21 Ranger was flawless. So there’s that.

Lots of options. Tons of volume makes all the investment in trims and drivetrains possible. I’ll save you time. Here’s my review SR - work truck for bros SR5 - bro truck TRD - bro truck TRD Pro - bro truck with bro seats Limited - nice try, still a bro truck Trail hunter - how many bros can...

Base foreign grill looks much better and simple than US model. Not trying too hard.

A lot of the Toyota comments on 6G are from a handful of guys that copy and paste their comments across multiple threads (mods should look at Latour). But, the degree of nitpicking over there is still pretty impressive. Don’t know why everyone is whining so much. Very few surprises with the...

Would be interested in this because it fixes the center stack cheapness which is the thing I dislike about the truck. Really dates it. But I don’t want to be the first to try it. Hopefully someone can figure out how to retain the factory backup camera. So go for it and let us know !

Unpopular opinion coming. Doesn’t look like too big of a deal to me. If it is in fact cosmetic (looks to be), I think leaving it alone would be the safer option. Gettin into Headliners, airbags seems like a mess. You’ll never see the roof and won’t notice it. Maybe ask for an appropriate...

This is why you don’t wait till they’re 15 to teach them. I started learning when I was 8 and by 9, I was driving a stick shift Willy’s hunting Jeep. By the time I was 16 it wasn’t a big deal. My kids are on the same schedule.

Oct 2021 (peak Covid insanity). Lariat tremor. - MSRP minus 2k retail cash back - plus CA taxes = 48k and change

Here's David Tracy discussing why he thinks the wheel fell off. Surprisingly, he doesn't think it's the spacer. Why Did The Wheel Come Off That Chevy Pickup That Launched A Kia Into The Air? Let's Look At The Tech - The Autopian By the way, a footnote to this story - The filming car is a...
