Wildly Unpopular 3rd Gen Opinions Thread

All the MT have 4:30 gears.

 

About the ugliest damn snorkel I have ever seen

I mean “desert intake”

 

always amazes me how different people's opinions can be. I have no loyalty to either Toyota or Chevy but 20 seconds in a Colorado was enough time to know I would be flat out embarrassed of owning a vehicle with that interior. Kudos on keeping to the theme of the thread.

 

I thought so, yea the 4cyl definitely does, v6 auto only one with 3.92 and the one that in my opinion could use the lower(higher numericaly) gearing to help keep the v6 a few hundred or so revs higher cruising to keep it more in the power range of the v6. I know this, I can drive back roads home from work about 2/3 of the way 65mph max(50 mph average) vs highway and I pick up at least 2 mpgs due to it not having to constantly kick down going up hills to maintain speed. Now granted I work in West Virginia so it is the mountain state and there's not a flat road on it but to me it works too hard to maintain speed.

 

Lack of low end tq and cruise control sucks.

 

I love my bed outlet. If my battery dies, I will use it to jump start my truck. Wait, does it have the proper wattage for this task??? lol

 

Hahahhahaha

 

I have loyalty to Toyota for obvious reasons(work @ manufacturing unit plant and get discount, plus I believe in the quality because I see it every day). But I will agree that every time I'm in a GM product the build quality just seems to be so sub par. Now I have not been in any recently(past few years) as I've converted most of my family to Toyota, so maybe they have improved, but I won't buy another one. I did own a Nissan Titan, ran good interior was great, probably most comfortable seats of any truck I've owned, but wouldn't tow to save it's life, traded it for a 2010 tundra rock warrior, pulled like a mule interior was good seats were good but not as good as the Nissan. But power for days and towed awesome, loved that truck and should have never traded it but wife needed a new car and we had new born, damn priorities.

 

That would be a very popular opinion here.

 

Fender slug

 

Amen

 

Super White is super boring, but it's the color of my truck and my favorite.

Flat hoods without a skewp are boring.

Sport TRD 2WD trucks that look 4WD are poser. (Me)

Black TRD T4R wheels are cliché with Super White, again the set up on my truck.

Wheels with the stupid rim guard chrome bolts all around are so 2016.

Guys who drive around daily driver trucks with RTTs are posers.

 

If I had done more research when I bought my 17, I would have gone for the Pro and it’s not cause I have the money to spend, but because the are dam good looking stock. At least until they put the smoke stack on them.

With my MT, I get way better m.p.g.s on back roads averaging 50 mph, in fact most if not all vehicles will get better milage at 50 vrs 70.

 

No way in hell I'd want that on my truck.

I can see the top easily snapping off in subzero temps.

 

How much snow would it take in while driving in a snow storm?

 

I think you're supposed to turn the head around in rain and snow.

 

That answers my aerodynamic question as well.

 

Why not just leave it always facing backwards?

 

The June Bug Harvesting Device must always face forward. Otherwise, what's the point?
