What did you buy this week?

[Blue Mule]

so far they are the best among 4 big ones.
The engine problems are in a very small part of 2022 models. No others have those issues. The big noise is because it is Toyota with the best motor and reliability which is not supposed to have any problem. It is like when a dog barks, it is OK but id a cat barks, everyone pays attention. Ford, GM and Ram has 10 times more problems which they are not willing to admit. Toyota not only admitted, it fixed the issue and changes motors for free. No other manufacturer would do it.

I disagree with this 100%. And yes, I've owned ALL of the truck brands sold in the U.S.

My Rams have been the most reliable with the fewest shop visits, and it's not even close.

Currently I've also got two Ford trucks with a combined 327,000 miles on them. We use them daily.

Not only is the new Tundra absolutely hideous in appearance, they’ve had numerous issues. It hasn’t just been the engine failures. Look at the new Tacoma…transmission failures, reports of the front differential blowing up, etc. Toyota has always been the most over-rated brand in the U.S. My buddy had one of the 1990s trucks with the feature that folded the frame like a lawn chair. A current co-worker has a 2000s Tundra with the V8 that eats emissions parts that are expensive and a PITA to repair.

Geeze man you’re really that butthurt over my legit question? I hope your nice truck treats you to many trouble free miles.

40,000lb is a legit question, right.

40,000lb is a legit question, right.

Might be for a big toyhauler or some of the tri axle RVs.... with DRY weights of pushing 20k pounds. I used get stuff like that at the park every year. 40+ feet long and and often towing a trailer with a couple of SXS/ATV on it.
Need some torque to tow those through the hills.

This particular trip, from the foothills of the Sierra Nevada and into the Rockies, was a smidgen over the 39,000 lb. CGVWR. As usual, the Ram 3500 pulled it off without any issues.

My toy hauler may not weigh a lot, but does put close to 5,000 on the drive axle. Which is rated for almost 10,000 lbs.

Basically, there are indeed things a Toyota can't do, but a Ram can. And so far mine has asked for nothing but fuel, plus oil and tire changes.

Huh? I think you’re confused.

I'd like that Unimog!

Down payment on a covered deck and 54 390 watt bifacial solar panels.

Be Very nice in the winter not walking back through snow rain and ice after getting out of the Hot tub.

Yeah, it would be nice. I'm trying to figure out what it was used to sweep in that configuration.

 

[MossRoad]

Yeah, the boom can't rotate with that tank on one side and the box on the other. Only the brush can rotate and move back and forth and up and down, it looks like. Strange but interesting.

 

[Engineer42]

I think it will swing to either side if you boom all the way up.

Tunnel walls? Most of them are hydro blasted tho.
