Must’ve been awhile since you’ve seen the inside of one. I looked at the Toyota and thought it looked cheap compared to the GMC. Plus, the Toyota couldn’t give me the same torque/pulling power of the 6.2L.

You may confuse cheap with tried and true. Being on the cutting edge tends to create problems and Toyota doesn’t want garage queens so they let tech develop for a period before they just go slapping it in everywhere Willy nilly. There’s a reason ISIS wasn’t driving GM off-road in the desert all day.

The 2022 tundra just released and the 3.5 twin turbo hybrid V6 will give you those numbers. Similar to the Ford power boost only it won’t break.

If you need a 3/4ton or more unfortunately you’ll have to go Mexican made with one of the “domestic” trucks instead of the American made tundra.

Ford Super Dutys are made in SDF; GM HDs are made in FNT and FWA.

Also, Tundras aren't exactly Hiluxes. Tundras are an old body style, with old engines and transmissions and old-school short gearing that made a truck so awesome it was distant fourth in fullsize sales out of five full-size manufacturers. I love how that's somehow an attribute...

The new Tundra will fix many of those issues, but its ugly as sin taking on Toyota's big dark grill architecture that must have been stolen from BMW.

I really wish they would bring the Hilux here, but there are way too many Taco fanboys and Toyota knows what side their bread is buttered.

Not saying the Tacoma isn’t a capable truck, but miss the 90-94 Toyota that was no frills and bullet proof.

A buddy of mine had a landcruiser pickup overseas and it was a blast, the kind of thing you can beat up off-road and the body was solid.

Doesn’t the C8 Vette offer a manual? I know the Z06 won’t, but I thought the basic version would….

Nuff said. Anything made by GM or Ford would just explode. Ram wouldn’t even show up

It does not sadly. What a car it would have been if it did.

90 in the last month? I think we were all expecting it to be higher than that.

Just wait until the real hiring starts after the holidays are over!
