  1. Kudos to Discount Tire

    I grew up with my dad driving across town to go to Discount until a small tire shop opened up right outside our neighborhood. We knew the owners and they took care of us. When I moved to the St Pete area, I looked for a discount tire only to find they basically don't exist down here. Weird. Had...
  2. How much does your tonneau cover leak?

    I got the cheapest Truxedo and the only noticeable water intrusion is in the driver's side, front where the seal never fully expanded after unrolling it. A little bit of water sometimes comes in there on a hard rain or the 6th month carwash routine, but really nothing to care about. Some gets in...
  3. Cybertruck

    I am not a fan of the look. It is unique and eye catching for sure. I much prefer the Rivian's design if we are talking about EV trucks. I do not like the rear bed shape with the sloping tonneau cover. I can't imagine it's easy reaching over the bed sides. I've watched a lot of reviews and am...
  4. 5g vs. 6g comparison

    Yup, I like being able to see in front of me. And also just being able to get under the hood without needing a step stool. I'm 6'3", but my neighbor's stock Sierra 2500 hood is almost at my shoulder level. Absurd.
  5. Getting rid of the truck symbol?

    I'm always low on washer fluid it seems.
  6. Oil Change: is slight forward or backwards slope better?

    I remove the driver's side front tire so it's always jacked up at the front.
  7. 10R80 paranoia (Forum caused)

    True, but all transmissions eventually die. Will mine die tomorrow? Probably not. Will it die before I sell the truck? Probably. Will it be the only thing I have to replace before I'm finished with this truck? Definitely not. I've put 32k miles in 3 years. Hoping for another 168k miles out of...
  8. Lowering the Rear

    I would love if the bed was 2 inches lower, but alas, it seems like the market has spoken and it wants taller stock trucks. I always laugh at those tacomas on tiny tires, but man they sure are easy to put stuff in the bed and get it out :crackup:
  9. I'll keep mine

    Respectfully... :crackup: And no, this isn't an edited picture. It just looks that good when the sun hits it.
  10. Lacking style??? Agreed...

    The 6g front end has actually grown on me. It's plain-ness is still vastly better than the new tacoma front end. I still like the 5g better, but I am not repulsed by the 6g. I do wish, however, that it still retained the steel bumpers. I still occasionally walk up to my truck (front or back) and...
  11. Lacking style??? Agreed...

    It's a truck, the less gimmicky style, the better.
  12. 10R80 paranoia (Forum caused)

    I got really worried, took it to the dealership. They flashed the transmission and it fixed the bucking and jerking, especially on downshifts. The 3-4 gear delay is still there, but everything else went back to normal. Here's my take, sure there might be problems that happen, but this...
  13. Lurking on 6G... appears deliveries are beginning

    I think it's was just part of the removing things overtime. I believe late models didn't have the same option choices our earlier models had. I really like all the nice additions of the 302A without the leather seats and gauge cluster of the lariat.
  14. Lurking on 6G... appears deliveries are beginning

    My 2020 XLT 302A has a sliding rear window and power seats.
  15. I'll keep mine

    My truck is in Rapid Red. It was the best color they made the 5G in hands down. It's drop dead gorgeous when the sun hits it. I love it.
  16. For what it's worth it lasted longer than the last one

    Ouch. Sad day. Everyone should have a dash cam. Not only for yourself as the driver, but for others too. Yesterday I was headed to dinner with some friends and witnessed a car accident about a quarter mile down the road. Only saw the cars rebounding so wasn't sure what happened. Nobody else had...
  17. Hi all some bad news ...

    Ah. Gotcha. I thought you were solely talking about the one safety item. Completely understand on the creature comforts you are looking for. I actually dislike the leather Ford uses so I was happy with the XLT. Looking forward to seeing what you end up getting!
  18. Hi all some bad news ...

    Nasty crash, glad you are ok. Sorry about the Ranger. If what you are talking about it the Automatic Emergency braking etc, I believe every Ranger trim level since 2019 has had the automatic emergency braking, lane keep etc. as standard. It was one of the defining features when they introduced...
  19. Tesla X backed into Truckie today

    Maybe I should have parked like this. Then they would have known to stay far away from that crazy guy! :crackup:
  20. Tesla X backed into Truckie today

    I got backed into in a Home Depot parking lot about a year ago. New door, repaired rocker panel, painted whole front drivers side (1/4 panel back to rear door). Final bill was about $3500. Insurance took care of everything including getting my deductible back from the other insurance company. I...
