If poutine could be a truck, it would be a Hyndai Santa Cruz with a slipping DCT.

With a worse transmission.

It makes the 10R80 look like a paradigm of reliability and thoughtful engineering.

I looked at the Ranger Raptor.

Surprised myself, but I preferred the Chebby :surprised:

My wife's car has ruined me.

My prescription requires air conditioned front seats in a midsize truck.

That means a Tacoma or a ZR2.

Tacoma is a non-starter.

The 2027 Colorado is supposed to get 350HP and 440TQ, so unless I find a killer deal I may just wait to see how that shakes out.

The JB4 piggyback tuner for the current Colorado adds 85 wheel HP and 120wheel TQ, though I will probably stay stock as I will only get one with a lifetime powertrain warranty.

Honestly, the way ALL manufacturers are today, I wouldn't buy ANY new vehicle that I planned to keep without it.

You only have a few more months until the '27 models come out. After that I'd make a decision and stick with it or you'll drive yourself (more) crazy. Plus if you wait too much longer you'll be told to drive. lol

I ended up not going to the dealership because I would have probably came home with a new truck. but honestly there is zero wrong with my ranger and only 5k till she is 100% mine
Nothing wrong with no payments. I'd be there if I wasn't tempted by the new and shiny.
