Nice post dude....

The Colorado has been eating away at market share...slowly for the Tacoma.

BTW-with that being said-whatever the differences may or may not be-widespread issues are not being reported.

There is a current "ask me anything" thread over on Reddit by a Ford Tech that says he is still getting them in even after the "fix" that took place in the 2021 model year or when ever the fix was made. BTW-whatever the differences may or may not be-there are not widespread issues reported. And since it's a CPO-powertrain goes out to 100,000 miles

I purchase a slightly used 2020 F-150-still under factory warranty. Was happy to do so. After a little over a year of ownership-and experiencing the ten speed acting every which way but normal-it was traded in with 43,000 miles on a 2023 Silverado. Yes-the ten speeds are "cousins" but the behavior could not be further apart. I loved the 3.5-but even with the supposed "fix" after August of 2021-I will never buy another Ford vehicle.

Yes-but I have already read where a Pathfinder was on a buyers short list and is now reconsidering because of the financial state of the company. I was going to buy a new Kizashi Suzuki sedan several years ago. Then News reports surfaced about how they might leave the U.S. I told this to a sales manger who called me up looking to "close the deal" on one I had looked at previously. He said no way that was going to happen. No less than two weeks later the announcement was made they were leaving the U.S. Bought a Subaru-which proved later perhaps wasn't the best decision either- but that's another story.

But yet I read that the Rogue is the third best selling vehicle in it's class.

Nissan's biggest problem (IMHO) is it dealer network. All manufacturers have certain dealers who are known on the Internet as the "bad boys". Nissan dealers come up pretty frequently. What ever happens-who ever ends up with Nissan will not be getting a full size pickup-as everyone knows the (outdated) Titan has been discontinued.

Electric vehicles (EVs) accounted for 17.2% of monthly new vehicle registrations in the Seattle area in January 2023 — up from 8.4% in January 2022. All told, the Seattle area saw 2,722 newly registered electric vehicles in January. The big picture: The Seattle region's adoption of EVs has far outpaced the nation's. https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2023/04/20/electric-vehicles-seattle-registrations

Am I wrong to believe that in Seattle there are many who would be interested in an EV?. It's an outdoorsy-environmental aware type of group that live there-isn't it? I have visited two or three times.

Sounds like the thread when the Silverado Heavy Duty trucks came out. Front-end ugly, etc. Well sales are proving otherwise.

There was no irony-it's Toyota. They are all in on hybrids-and look at the EV market stagnating. Toyota as a company is brilliant.

Myself and others on this board have predicted the pricing on new trucks is not sustainable. Not only trucks-either. It turns out those predictions may have had some validity.

I am not particularly a Toyota guy-but Toyota will print money with this redesign......
