Much better than Deep Purple Space Truckin dude. That was their crappiest song ever. You could have gone with Smoke on the Water at least.

 

More torque, towing and payload, better infotainment..plenty of time to work bugs out before this thing is ready to trade. I will add the Ranger to the maybe list. The resale for these 3rd gens are going to take a hit with combo of availability of used trucks and the drop in reputation. People comment all the time on my truck followed by, ive heard they aren’t what they used to be. I would imagine the resale will adjust. If that’s a true increase in towing and payload that would be a welcome addition and might keep me from going back to a full size. I am also waiting to see what Toyota does with the Tundra.

 

It's funny I haven't even considered getting rid of it. I'm going to use it as a property truck one day when gas gets to expensive.

 

I’ve got an old Dodge for that, better payload bigger bed..or I would think about the same. Scoop of gravel for the driveway and Tacoma doesent mix. Well..lol

 

Yeah, the Doors first album is one of my favorites- The End is an interesting piece of music- really out there but good

Just quoted it because Oedipus...lol

 

By that do you mean...


Smitty?

 

Old member, Smitty99, it was his profile avatar. He's a Tundra owner now.

 

No lie?

 

I'm friends with him, ya, no lie, he traded up for a new TRD OR Tundy back in August. He's got a family and boat/classic car that he needs to haul on occasion, so full size made sense and he got a deal.

 

Nice, good for him

 

Well pretty sure nobody outside TW would even know who that is.

Clint Eastwood was the spokesperson who would sell the shit out of that new Ford, if he was going to "endorse" anything- pretty sure that will never happen though.

Was always a fan of Mr. Eastwood - Smitty99 kind of ruined it for me for awhile- kept expecting whatever character he was playing to start whining about a "howling rear"....lol

 

Gran Torino

 

That dude had way too much time on his hands to do nothing but bitch and moan. 12K posts in a year (over 30 posts a day) to kill any thread where something good was said about the truck. He was entirely unsuccessful lol and wasted all that time.
Remind me not to buy a Tundra.

 

Here you go...

 

That won't last.
