3 yrs of OnStar included (needed for use of SuperCruise)


So you have to buy a subscription to utilize a feature of your truck?

That is what I said when I first heard about Blue Cruise and Super Cruise. Ford BC costs twice as much as GM Super Cruise. If I had bought a lesser model I would have had to pay for the Super Cruise but 3 yrs was included on the sticker on my truck. I assume it is on Denali's too.

Ford refused to negotiate BlueCruise package with the vehicle.

I have loaded 2025 Nissan Frontier Pro-X. I downsized from a full size 4WD. I didn’t use the 4WD drive enough to justify getting a Pro4X. It took a bit to get used to, but I like the truck a lot. It’s reasonably priced for a truck, well equipped, has actual buttons and knobs and has a pretty peppy V6. The only thing I’d change right now is maybe raise it up or level it. It comes way to low from the factory.


I drove a Frontier for 13 years, only complaint was turning radius. Did they fix that in the new ones?

I have a GMC Canyon AT4 coming down from a Sierra SLT.

Have about 28k miles on it and it’s been solid. Turbo 4 sounds awful, but actually has a ton of power. Only detriment is the gas mileage kinda sucks for a 4 cylinder. I get an average of ~21-22 mpg, with a “best” of 26 mpg.

Biggest adjustment going to a mid-size was actually the loss of interior space.

Ranger Raptor is the only midsize truck I’d consider

I went from a Ram crew cab to a Frontier crew cab and oddly enough all the fishing trip gear I fit in the Ram fit...almost in the exact configuration...in the Frontier. Inside the truck I mean. This included rods.

I would have never thought it would all fit.

The new Canyon AT4s look awesome. I went drive one. Its small bruh! And the sound is underwhelmingly weak sounding. I will not be getting rid of my full size!

On my third Toyota Tacoma. Between the three I’ve put right at 400,000 miles.
You left a lot of use on the table only using them each for 133k average.

I practice what I preach-

I put 280k on a new ‘07 Avalanche with zero issues.

Next up was a ‘14 Grand Cherokee, 6 years with 245k with only an alternator replaced (and that was at around 180k and covered by a recall).

Then another GC: a ‘20, 180k with zero issues in 4 years

Now in a ‘24 GC, coming up on 60k, you guessed it, no issues.

And the exact reason I won't go down in size. Well, that and the only mid size I liked was the Tacoma and I think the new ones are ugly.

The Ridgeline & Frontier are the only midsize trucks w 6 cylinder vs the rest w a turbo 4 cylinder.

Toyota keeps calling me to trade in my 2018 Tacoma with low mileage $50K miles and making very nice offer. I told him I like having truck paid off and my note going into savings, no thanks. I also said I would never be interested in a truck with a 4-cylinder engine, even if turbo charged.

He told me, Tacoma's still come V-6, and Tundra's V-8. He said every new Tacoma on the lot is V-6, and Tundra is V-8, and I have my information wrong.

Anybody know if I'm losing my mind, or is Tigerdroppings FOS?

(P.S. - for OP. I absolutely love my Tacoma. Looks brand new still, I have it serviced every time it's required, and the only thing I've had to do is buy a new battery. Still have original tires on it.)

I will. Thought I was going crazy. Emails and phone calls. They start off with selling me an extended warranty, then admit they really want me to come trade in the truck. I guess they have no problem lying straight up to my face, figure once I show up on the lot, they can sell it to me in person.
