2023 Regrets…

I regret not pushing myself to sell or trade in my 2021 for a 2023 m’anal trans

 

That right there ls the most true post I ever read

 

I haven't had that issue.

I'm currently on Spotter mirrors, though it was for a different reason. A freak thunderstorm cracked a mirror when I was camping, and it was the easiest way to replace the glass. I actually like them better for backing trailers now.


I understand tight spots. I park my camper in the garage, and then I need room to park my truck next to my camper. It is not a big garage. When things fit right, my passenger mirror is less than one inch from the camper with both vehicles sitting in perfect parallel. Years ago I decided the fastest way to do that was to back the trailer into the dead-center of the garage, unhitch it, and then put the trailer on a pair of wheel dollies. Once its on its skates I can push it into position by hand. (And then its just a matter of paying attention when backing the truck into its spot, every day, without rubbing paint. ) Maybe dollies will work for you? If not, get the Spotter mirrors. The fisheye part still does little for me, but what surprised me is that the rest also has a tiny curve to it, giving a better FOV than OEM.

 

Imagine coming from a V8 4runner. I was partially contemplating selling it and getting a 4runner instead, but really wanted the bed. A tune was its saving grace because now it isa joy to drive.

 

have you thought about getting an older better cheaper one

 

Fake hood scoops are a deal breaker for me, so I guess I'll just have to keep my '22.

Uh uh, no. No more GM products for me man I'm getting too old to work on shit every weekend.

My only regret was not buying one sooner.

 

Dollies won't solve my problem. My driveway is uphill and widens from a double at the street to a triple wide section up to the attached garage, then turns back into a single as it goes along side of the house. Then I go through a gate and another 100 feet back to a pad next to my detached garage where I park it. See attached shitty paint picture lol.

I think the problem for me is the stock mirrors are convex and it distorts the perspective. I need a flat glass mirror.

Give it some time. The benefits will outweigh the quirks.

 

I’m disappointed in my purchase too. When I drove it, I thought it was perfect. I thought it would be reliable and (relative to other trucks) cheap. It’s been reliable but after finding this forum, it’s been anything but cheap.

 

If u got the auto I can understand why . I hat a 18 with an auto absolutely hated the truck . It could never decide what gear it wanted to be in .I purchased a 20 with a manual and love my truck now .

 

Next stop ridgeline.

 

Waiting for the “this is my first truck” follow up post.

 

You just need to buy the neighbor's place!

 

Sell it and get a 4th gen

only plausible solution really
