Colorado B.S. Thread

Ive heard they finally put a big enough turbo to handle all the boost without restrictions on flow so hold on to your unides driving one of those lol

 

Agreed. I like the new Tundra, but they are just way behind the curve compared to the other trucks on the market. I have driven the new gmc/chevys with the 6.2, its an impressive motor, same witht he duramax.
The eco and 5.0 are on the list as well.

Thats nice to hear! I admittedly have no true need for a diesel, jsut always liked them. I have driven the new ones and the throttle response was really impressive, no lag at all compared to the duramax IMO. I mostly like one for the power potential, longevity, and highway cruising mileage. Plus then I will never need a bigger truck for future toys.

ya the 6.0 had issues. When addressed it was actually a deecent motor tho.

 

I believe it...maybe. Hard to beat a 7.3... but ive seen mid gen 6.7's with upwards of 200k+ on them already!! Pretty impressive what ford has created.

 

6.4's were a shit stock motor too. Built to be a 150k throw-away motor. But again rebuilt from the bottom up they are a decent motor

 

I guess Ford didn't want to fix it right the first couple times. They won't buy another Ford now but went to Dodge...

Anything is better than any Dodge... But it isn't my money.

 

My current work truck is a ram 1500. I am not a dodge fan by any means but admittedly its been a good little truck. I wish it had a little more space, and the mileage is fairly poor.

 

More and more contractors are driving 1st and 2nd gen Tundra's and 3rd gen Tacoma's these days. Just a personal observation.
The Nissan van has gotten extremely popular too.
I see less and less of the Big 3 on construction sites these days.

 

Truck size to me depends on what your intended purpose is, plan on dragging around a skid steer 3 days a week? or are you just driving it from site to site with a small amount of tools and some light materials?

Some days when I do side jobs I wish I had a larger truck, the Taco is not a fan of 20+ 80lb bags of concrete, also the ability to tow larger equipment would help me out immensely. But at the same time it still is just side work and I cant justify the cost of a larger vehicle (yet) luckily I have close friends I can call up at the last minute and ask them to deliver for me.

 

Note to self: I am too tall for a crv

 

My old company scoffed at my request for a 3/4 or 1 ton truck..... it's not like I was regularly hauling 2500lbs of water, another 2-300 pounds of Carbon for mixing with the water, another couple hundred pounds of tools, and towing an air compressor.......

 

And with this we go back to what we all know, and that is, you can't fix stupid, probably good that its your old company

 

Hard to stay focused at work today. Trying to write PHP tests for our APIs (and I'm NOT a PHP programmer) and waiting to hear from @3378jakesr5 that my bed rack is finished!!

 

Its hard to stay focused today too, waiting to hear if my truck is being fixed under warranty......

 

anyone have any experience raising racoons?

 

Emotionally or physically?

And you spelled trash pandas wrong

 

emotionally, got the physical side down.

my mistake, i didn't want to confuse people

 

Trying to focus on whether i should have three fat breakfast burritos or four smaller ones.

And whether that's the port or starboard side of that ship.



Olympic NP is behind the container ship.

 

1st ship is port side

3 bigger ones, of course!
