    Does anyone know what happened to his truck? He says he got the motor replaced and was selling it.

    He got mad because he made a bad decision, and did it to a new truck. He quit his job too so I can see why he’d be mad:rofl:

    Remember this from the last time it made rounds.
    My favorite part is still how his wife didn’t want any part of his whining hipster bullshit.

    So if I buy a V6 Tacoma in the future, I should not be alarmed if I go up an incline and this happens?

    Not sure, anyone being that reckless with a new vehicle isn’t really in the place to be mad at what they did to the vehicle

    He says he quit his job...

    I can't help but wonder if the poor bastard financed the truck or paid cash...? That would really suck if he financed it!

    And as I stated above, I drove my 5-lug Tacoma through over a foot of water in my friend's neighborhood during a torrential downpour and had no issues whatsoever!

    I sure hope not. I hope he’s back at work, earning a good living and providing for his family, in whatever weird version of life he lives.

    And I still can't help but wonder if he financed the truck or paid cash...

    Would a premature engine replacement show up on the Carfax and/or reduce the resale value?
