Yikes, just saw a new Tundra

[Porpoise Hork]

It's the current trend on multiple vehicle lines. It's like they all got drunk and agreed to put massively oversized grills on.

Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai, BMW, Audi, Mercedes, VW, Lincoln, Chevy, etc etc..

It's not just the looks:

- less articulation than 2nd gen tundra
- no front recovery points or provision for such
- lower payload than Ranger
- slower/lower MPGs than any like for like f150
- terrible outwards vision

 

[Trigganometry]

Wonder if they did that so when you crash all the pieces come flying off and then you can snap them all back on and scoot. ?

That's an ugly truck.

I'm all up for making fun of the Tundra, it is indeed a hideous truck.

But I definitely was not expecting to see a picture of an old-school actor in yellowface on this forum, in 2022, comparing it to "Asian Heritage" as a joke. I know you meant zero harm, but as an Asian man myself, I can tell you that the joke comes across a bit ignorant & insensitive in this day and age. I'm not sure if you have many asian friends (I surmise that you don't), but I can tell you that your comparison of a Japanese truck, to Fu Man Chu, as being asian heritage is not relevant nor funny.

What IS funny?

Are Irish jokes funny?

Is it okay to make light of fat people?

Skinny people?

Dumb people?

Ohh, what about Jews, are they safe to mention?

Get over yourself dude.

Sorry, no harm intended, although I’m really not sorry because I wasn’t making fun of Asians At all. I think my next door neighbors who are Japanese would absolutely back that up. was just pointing out that that shape reminded me of that mustache. It was about the frickin mustache. Sorry, I think we all should just lighten up. Lord have mercy. i Think far too often everyone looks for ways to be “offended”

 

[Gumbo]

Isn't the fu man chu an American thing that we did to Chinese men I'm the movies? Not really a catch all for the asian culture.

I had first written Japanese, then I remembered Chan is Chinese, started to say I knew that but just put Asian instead. Geezus, was just A joke.

The interior and the overall looks of the truck are not bad. However, the front end to me is not something I care for. I hope that those that buy them enjoy them. I do think Ford has had better looking trucks for quite a while. The Ram trucks look pretty good too IMHO.

-articulation at stock is one thing buuut the articulation in aftermarket is going to be far better! and there is one reason for it the tundra no longer has stupid leaf springs its a 4 link system so it will be far better once its modified
-its payload is far higher so thats wrong....
-slower ya thats possible it is missing like 30-40hp but this is toyotas first time with this type of motor
-the looks ya they are funky ill agree

That pic reminds me of what I see when my dog is trying to sniff my face after eating dinner.

Im a Southerner, every tv show out portrays us as dumb barefoot bastards who date our cousins. Sure, I slept with her, but I never took her anywhere

 

[Joeiconic]

This thread reminds me of this article I read today. We used to be able to laugh at one another, because all people are funny.

Back on topic of the Tundra, how about this one? (It’s ok for me to make fun of rednecks, because I are one.)

ps-Victor Sen Yung wasn’t in “yellow face” And my best friend is married to a Korean Lady. I use to work in a company that was all Jewish. They called me the “token gentilie”. Sure glad none of us were offended over ethnic jokes. There was plenty

That's my point alltogether.

This woke bullshit does nothing but divide people. And many times the people pushing it are the biggest offenders.

As a group, Asians are one of the MOST racist people on the planet.

 

[MountainGoat]

I'm not racist my truck is made in like 20 different countries!

 

[Gumbo]

Setting all the racism aside, I know not to dip my toes in that conversation, as the ban van will drive by.
All I will say is that yes the trucks ugly. So is the mav and the 23 ranger according to half of you, so you can all really just stuff your inconsistant complaints. Don't like it...don't buy it , simple as that.
But we can all grow up and do our part to end racism, end any kind of hatred towards anyone...unless they are a-holes, then its allowed.

racism is thinking your race is better than another, not simply some acknowledgment. We live in a clown world when the most vocal groups decrying racism actually want to judge people by the color of their skin. Aka CRT. MLK had it right, judge a man by his character. If I get banned, so be it
