Putting gas into my Tacoma

It sucks believe me....I pack away all of my Fruit of the loom tighty white-ies for the fall and winters because of "fashion"

 

You could wear underoos! lol

Friggin' tighty-whities! lol

 

Is this the same reason some Jeeps don't have doors?!

 

Fueling a Ford is like dating a woman who does not wear panties - Easy

 

If Tacos go that direction, I think there’s a market for a flip down drink holder mounted on the inside of the fuel door. Big gulps while you refuel and smell that sweet sweet gasoline vapor!

(patent pending)

 

Never owned a new domestic. Never knew that it was a big deal to R&R a gas cap at fill up.

Learn something new every day. Thanks 3rd Gen talk!

 

“Domestic” eh?

Do you tell people you drive a foreign?

 

Not sure if anyone knew this.. it wasn't just Fords that have the capless gas nozzle. My 2020 Honda Civic also had it. Being a truck, and it's probably going to be in some dusty/muddy situations, I'm glad it has a cap.

 

Had the cap-less fuel filler on a 2017 Rodgeline and hated it- there is no way that the flexy filler door makes as tight a seal as a screw-on cap.

 

Triggered by the word "domestic"




The word is commonly used to group the legacy US auto mfgs f/k/a "The Big 3"



Trust me... it's a thing

 

Far from triggered. Mostly curious.
So do you drive a foreign?

 

I own a F150 and an Explorer in addition to the Tacoma. It's just different IMO, not better. You can get codes and a rough engine if you forget to put the cap back onto the fuel tank. That's never been an issue for me. It makes it harder to add gas from a fuel can. They come with a small funnel designed to fit in the fuel filler, but it is a lot easier to pour gas into my Tacoma from a gas can.

 

We call them imports, sounds fancier.

 

If you have Texas made taco you can call it JDM even fancier

 

I own a variety of automobiles. German, Swedish & British (a/k/a european, import, foreign), Japanese (a/k/a asian, import, foreign) and yes, a couple of older domestics, too (a/k/a American).

For some reason you're hung up on a term which has been around for my entire life. I think most everyone else knows what "domestic" means in the context of a discussion about automobiles.

Honestly though, I don't care enough to continue with this...

 

The more you know...

Thanks for your thoughts.

I was thinking of giving my opinion but seriously, would it be of any value to either side?

We learn what we learn...some are open to other's opinions...some not.

I think we do care...it's just that others may not receive the message conveyed.

 

I’ve been rocking this cap for a few years. Comes in super handy.
