SIL bought a new Tundra last year. All the bells and whistles. What a nightmare. Toyota just bought it back under lemon law.



Big recall on the newer Tundras metal shavings in the motors.

Happy to help. They’re a good bumper and they’re real simple to weld up and install.

I bought my first GMC last year for my daily driver. I have liked it quite a bit. I however screwed up and bought gasoline. It needs premium and it gets pricey to fill up! Wish I would have bought the diesel.

I bought a used 2022 GMC with a regular cab and the 2.7 motor. I've only had it a year but it hasn't had any problems yet at 50,000 miles. I totaled my tundra on a deer and needed a truck. Regular cab trucks are getting hard to find so I opted for this one. I tow my boat, a small trailer and maybe my little tractor once in a while so I wasn't worried about towing a lot. It makes a little less horsepower than the 5.3 and a little more torque from what I could read. Fuel mileage isn't great at around 21 mpg. I don't see where I would regret buying it as long as it doesn't give me a bunch of mechanical problems.

I got the AT4. My fault for not paying attention. I don't always use it....and it runs fine. But I do 80 percent of the time.

The 2.7L has a belt on the BACK of the motor that drives the oil pump. And it does have a scheduled replacement mileage. Yup, most mechanics are questioning why they did that, transmission needs to be removed to replace the belt.

Here's a link to owners comments on trucks they have.

Dang 3togo!.Sounds like "a high dollar manufactured service fee" to me.
Crane is that mileage from a 4X4?

I remember when Obama gave the anti-republican UAW 24+ billion dollars as part of the GM bail-out. Will never again own a GM product d/t that. Doesn't sound like too many people stand by their principles.

About 4 years ago I traded my 2010 Ford F150 with the hated 5.4 3 valve motor (serious oiling problems due to an oil pump that won't produce enough pressure to keep the top end lubed), and bought a used 2017 Nissan Titan Pro 4x.

Best truck I've ever owned out of 7. And 5 were Toyotas. Super comfortable for long trips, V8, no turbo, pretty decent over the road mileage, great handling.

There are still some available at real good prices. I believe this is the last year for the Pro 4 X and the XD models. Current versions have a 9 speed tranny, mine is a 7 speed.

Mileage is from a 4x4. I liked all my Toyotas but I don't even think they make a regular cab anymore.

The Tundra regular cab was discontinued after 2017.

I lost interest in Toyota when they stopped offering a standard transmission. I realize they’ve all gone that direction, but I really thought Toyota would be the hold out. 2018 was the last year dodge offered one, it’s been a custom order thing from ford and Chevy for awhile now.

To my knowledge Toyota and Jeep are the only ones currently offering a standard transmission in a pickup. Not sure where your info on Toyota came from, but they do still offer a standard transmission. Only in the full four door, not in the extended cab (possibly on special order, but it isn't listed and you aren't going to find an extended cab on a lot with one) but it is offered. I keep thinking I should buy me a new one before they quit making them.

I haven’t specifically inquired about one, but they used to all be a standard transmission, and the last time I was down south I was poking around a dealership, and I stuck my head into 100 different Toyota pickups and didn’t find a 3rd pedal in any of them

I still have my 2015 f150. Aluminum body looks great. 2.7 ecoboost still getting 20mpg around town and 33.5 highway. Have pulled a 20x8 cargo trailer (4k lbs empty) fully loaded from ohio to Arkansas the last couple years. No problems.
Love this truck.

When I bought my Tacoma (2018) the only manual that was offered was in the Sport package not sure about the current models.
