Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

ya ive driven one in the past and tbh not worth it

 

I have another idler pulley starting to squeal... I can't be the only person suffering this lol

 

WD-40 that shit

 

Or use Old Spice

 

Irish Spring is my go to for squeaky pulleys or squealing belts.

 

@CygnusX191 went to drive the new frontier and it sold last night…. But I did at least get to check it out and sit in it and look it over. withjust looking the interior was extremely nice and the tech was really nice as well very similar to my si in a way and very updated the seats were extremely nice compared to the last gen that were hard and rather uncomfy tbh but this new one my god man it’s so soft and comfy it’s great! Can’t say much more without driving it thou.

I did drive a Ford ranger platinum 2020 and tbh it surprised me a lot it drove great it was zippy for a truck and it’s turn radios was amazing! It turned so tight it was great. The tech was older but overall still up to date in a way and good the one thing I hated was those leather seats my god they sucked so uncomfy…

then drove a gladiator again because why not and I drove a brand new Mojave gladiator and it drove a lot better then the one I drove back when they first were announced the only thing I hated was the tiny back seats the price tag cough coughs 65k… cough cough and that the front end didn’t want to track straight

but now time to track down a frontier snd a 3rd gen to cover all bases

 

It's definitely a replacement fix. If this sound is any indication of how bad the bearing is, it'll be like my last pulley and the bearing might come apart with some light prying.

 

Yeah those zero gravity seats Nissan uses are fantastic.

It's funny because I went and looked at a gladiator seriously last year figuring if I drove it and it actually lived up to expectations I was considering swapping out but the dealership basically said I could drive it if I put a deposit on it and I was like no I want to drive it before I put a deposit on it and they wouldn't budge so I told them to take a hike.

 

ya those seats were amazing i really want to know how it drives!!!


ya this jeep dealer at first didnt want me to drive the ranger since it didnt have the options i wanted but i was out looking at it and he came back and said if you want to take a quick spin on the highway and back feel free umm alright cool see ya lol

 

FedEx even runs falken wildpeaks

 

Have to when you're north of the jet stream.

found all the local trucks lol

 

Driving my bosses 3rd gen just reminds me of driving our truck when it was newer. Just has the new tablet-ass head unit in the middle (don't get me wrong, I like it, but I forsee it having issues in the future from overheating because it sticks out of the dash, and it's huge overall. Makes me laugh when I look at the tiny screen in the taco).

Personally, the look of the new ranger really grew on me, especially compared to the way everyone is making the front end of their trucks look rn might be an unpopular opinion, but everyone is making their vehicles look way too aggressive to the point they're just looking kinda silly to me. The new silvarados are the ugliest fucking things ever. I'd rather drive a Pontac Aztec.

I think if we had to pick a truck that wasn't a Toyota and still within our budget, I'd be leaning towards the Ranger myself

 

ya the ranger shocked me big time on how it drove and everything in it i really wanna drive a frontier now to compare the two

 

Once you test drive, if you decide the Frontier is for you, are you going to special order one?

 

Hmm I’m not sure tbh the only thing I’d like is color specific but for special model vehicles (depending what it is) most dealers don’t get a choice in that and the few dealers I asked don’t get a choice on what they get for a pro4x now a ranger xlt I can

 

Ranger shocked me tooo… how terrible it is

it got stuck in the grass..

 

My friend has had one and taken it to Moab and it’s done great just because it has shit tires doesn’t mean it sucks anything can get stuck with the improper tire setup

 

First gen for sale $3k
