    But in all seriousness, do what makes you happy. I cant say squat, been looking at transit vans for a work vehicle. The more I look at the Mercedes Sprinter the less I want it. If nothing else but the def system and diesel bs. Meh.

    We all gotta do what we gotta do. I did do the 100k extended warranty for all the electronic bits. Hoping that was wasted money, but we'll see.

    I really like the looks of the GMC/Chevy 1/2 ton off-road setup, the 150 set up is pretty nice as well . But they’re all junk when they’re broken.

    Yeah, I'm heavily opposed to GM. They'd have to have basically given one to me for me to consider one. They have absurd pricing.

    Considering the new tundra is absolute garbage and one of the least reliable half tons on the market currently, I’m trading my Tacoma in on a new 3.5 ecoboost F150 next year. I’d rather have a F150 than a new tundra. Toyota can’t claim reliability any more with their new models.

    Okie doke? Not gonna argue, the 3rd gen has been shit and I think they’re hideous. But I’d never swap my 2.5gen for any of the big 3, new or otherwise. Especially after that work chevy ate three transmissions within a year. Dog shit.

    New Toyota’s suck the big hairy one.
    So many people traded in the new tundra for a Chevy or ford cause it tows like crap.
    I don’t know what I’m going to do when I need a new truck.
    I’d spend 35G on a 80’s Chevy or Dodge that’s been ground up restored then a new 65G bells and whistle
    POS….

    I feel attacked. LOL

    I hear you, Mike. I miss the simplicity of old reliable stuff, but I also am the guy that will pick the only lemon on a used car lot. I buy new so I don't die from anxiety.

    Morning
    A few errands to do then get after the truck for a rotate and Fluid Film application.
    Going to be a long day.
    Going to do some front brake work also. Not sure which way in going to go with it.
    If I was down south I’d try ceramic pads but, up here I think I’ll stick to semi metallic.
    May do that this weekend too. Need to adjust the rears and get the bleeder screws loose if poss as I’ll bleed them
    At the same time.
    Oh well, let’s get at it people.
