    My buddy just turned his 2022 half ton duranax in on the lemon law with multiple issue from turbo issue multiple leaking seals a bad shifting transmission the final issue was with the wiring harness. I have been a Chevy guy my whole life but watching him go thru the issues he had I would be really cautious.

    Well at least you got an American truck..... the new Tacoma cant even claim that...

    And if you think Chevy and Ford are American......only partially true....
    .....all their heavy components are all now made south of the border....

    That's reason for all their recalls, all those bad heads on their flagship models has almost brought Ford to their knees....

    and cam phasers....really....what a bunch of dumb asses...

    what's next.......lets try shutting down cylinders....

    Congratulations on the new Tundra! The new style is excellent IMO. Please post pics when you can.
