  1. Just in time to take the coverage off their recall https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/toyota-tundra-recall-headlight-fires-safety/#aoh=16316528765758&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s
  2. Big NO for me. Hate the front end and the lines above the rear wheel well make the bed look real ackward. Makes the bed look like it is much lower (squatting). But the total loyalist will buy it up as looks don't matter to them. It's more about how much more reliable they are then the other manufacturers. So I heard..
  3. I saw one Good Job in that thread and the rest were talking about how results of under 1 vehicle per problem are almost the same as results of just over 1 vehicle per problem. There was no gloating or celebrating.
  4. I knew who started this thread without evening looking at sir's name.
  5. I know it's tiktok lol, but here is a video of the body off frame with shoehorn exhaust. Didn't see this posted yet. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRMCsR9h/
  6. I think Lincoln should develop a performance division even without sedan offerings. MB has AMG, Audi has the S, BMW has the M, Volvo has the R. Lincoln definitely has the looks and the quality of the interior down but nowhere do I think of Lincoln as performance and when I hear luxury, I think of both quality and performance.
  7. I think overall this car is very well done. And it really makes me think of the 70s Z car shape. I like it!
  8. Go take your Bullshit somewhere else.... You know damn well they did. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tesla-model-s-scores-another-best-in-class-from-consumer-reports-2015-08-27 "Consumer Reports, in what at first appears to be a case of grade inflation, has given a new, top-of-the-line version of Tesla Motors’ TSLA, 3.58% Model S sedan a 103-point score — out of a possible 100." https://insideevs.com/news/328671/tesla-model-s-scores-103-points-on-consumer-reports-0-100-rating-scale/ "Tesla Model S Scores 103 Points On Consumer Reports' 0-100 Rating Scale" https://techcrunch.com/2015/08/27/teslas-model-s-p85d-just-broke-consumer-reports-ratings-system-scoring-103-out-of-100/ "Tesla’s Model S P85D Just Broke Consumer Reports’ Ratings System, Scoring 103 Out Of 100" Of all the people on here, man I wish you went on a permanent vacation from this site.
  9. As Akirby stated, I am just showing they all have their issues. Disaster of the Bronco launch? You mean the lack of microchips that every manufacturer is experiencing? The fact that almost every dealers parking lot is empty? The roofs, sure, that's a manufacturers issue and Ford is addressing it. It also is at least a cosmetic issue so people can continue to use them if delivered.
  10. If this isn't lunacy, I don't know what is. $80 million in preorders for a camper bed attachment that doesn't exist for a truck that doesn't exist. Seriously, what is wrong with people?? https://www.yahoo.com/news/50-000-camper-turns-tesla-115400239.html
  11. https://www.hotcars.com/8-glaring-issues-found-in-toyota-tundra-pickups/ Just saying, they all have issues.
  12. It always has been inferior so based on history, it's what we have to go by until we see otherwise. My neighbor, had an old rav4, brought home a new one. Had a Tacoma and just upgraded to a Tundra. Both look very boring and I hate the majority of their styling (including Lexus front ends). I bet he is a CR subscriber.
  13. 200-300 from CR subscribers is sufficient to tell how reliable 500,000 vehicles will be. Lmao. I just can't even...
  14. So you think a sample size of 200-300 vehicles over half a million built a year is sufficient? Gotcha.
  15. Automakers don't want any negative press period, regardless of who is publishing it. Many consumers agree with my statement. Gone are the times where the red, half red, clear, half black and black circles mean anything. It has been said time and time again that vehicles these days are far more safer and reliable than 20 years ago. The difference in quality and reliability between that best and worst are far closer than the Hyundais vs the Hondas of the 80s. And even YOU pointed out that the Tundra has basically been the same truck and the all new redesign may take some hits in reviews and rankings for quality. So how would it be fair to compare a very old truck vs vehicles that are constantly updated and changed? You also have F series that sell 7 times the Tundra (2/3s are F150s) so you will obviously have more problems when you build 7 (5 for F150) times the amount. So is that taken into account with CR when they publish their little circles? Google away in 3... 2... 1... PS - Not knocking the Tundra (I wouldn't buy one), I'd say the same thing for any other truck (except Nissan). They are all extremely close in quality. One should choose not only based on price but what they are getting for the price in terms of features, capability, ride quality etc. Not because "Toyota is quality and others are not".
  16. Nothing CR says about vehicles is a reason to buy or not buy them.
  17. Funny you say that because if you google blown 5.7, you get a bunch of posts and youtube videos. Every vehicle has issues and every vehicle theses days are far more reliable then they were 20 years ago. IMO, gone is the day that Toyota and Honda are the most reliable vehicles on the road. You sound like you are stuck in the past where oil changes were every 3.000 miles too. I remember when I had my 02 Tacoma with the TRD supercharger on it. Truck was awesome except for the constant pinging of the motor because of fuel starvation with the S/C during heavy acceleration. Oh, then there was the 7th injector kit Toyota came out with that we had to buy ourselves to fix that problem to the tune of almost $1,000.. and it was a light switch, either on or off depending on fuel demand. Ya.. go Toyota lol!!
  18. Ford will be reimbursed for those vehicles lost in the derailment so not like it is a write-off. The down side is for the dealers and customers who were waiting for them will have to wait a long longer.
  19. Well this is going to create quite a mess. https://fordauthority.com/2021/08/2021-ford-f-150-pickups-destroyed-by-train-derailment/ "The incident reportedly involved around 33 boxcars and took place roughly 100 miles west of St. Louis, though the cause of the derailment is currently unknown. Authorities expect cleanup to take at least a couple of days and it will cause delays of up to 14-18 hours for rail customers. As for the damaged vehicles, authorities called them a “total loss.”
  20. Looking for an update Thanks!! 1FA6P8SJ7M5502609

  22. My 15 F350 was ordered, scheduled, built and delivered in 18 days. It can be done but on a nationwide scale, no way.
  23. Hi Cyberdman, Could I get tracking info? 1FA6P8SJ7M5502609 Appreciate your help!!
  24. Maybe the Powerboost will be what is in the ST with a slightly higher tune. Just like the Explorer ST and Platinum have the 3.0 but the ST has a little more powerful tune.
