Again, if the manufacturer even states you aren't getting 20 MPG and you put bigger tires, you aren't getting anywhere close without some other modifications.

Never been a fan of dodge trucks, (GMC owner), but saw a commercial last night for the 2019 model and I have to say it looked really nice. If I was in the market for a new truck, I would definitely go check one out.

Interior looked great....only thing I didn’t like is that damn knob “shifter”

That ugly thing that is critiquing the Ford interior, has no idea what the frick she is talking about. She basically said the Ford interior looks good from a distance, no bitch, that's what people say about you. Who would let this bitch judge a truck anyway? Edmunds can go eat a dick.



Good lord. It's a truck review dude, chill out.

I bought a 2018 raptor 6 months ago. It is the king of trucks. All you little bitches bow down to this beast.

That ram interior looks really nice though I must say

just a joke.. I have a 2018 gmc, 1966 chevy. and a 1997 f15. All run fine. There will be bad runs of vehicles for all manufacturers at times. But take care of your vehicle and service it and it will last. My dad Runs a parts store and has been a mechanic his whole life, and i joke about the ford and dodge because he always says 1-dodge most mechanical issues, and 2 ford most plastic issues, said ford has had alota probs with interrior stuff breaking or falling off over the years.

Tundras are great trucks, they just cost a little more usually and get worse gas mileage. Not the worst complaint.

All my argument was is that my truck gets that. I could just have tighter tolerances and the luck of the draw. I do know most Tundras get absolutely terrible mileage compared to mine. I had a rental because mine was in the shop and it was a newer Tundra. I couldn't get past 16 or 17 on the HWY.

It's just like the silicon lottery with computer chips. The average ain't gonna overclock as high but a few% will go a good bit above and some will be a good bit below.

Either way, getting 1-2 mpg either direction is not a huge difference.

I don’t think you’re trying to lie about your truck’s mpg just to impress us. It’s just surprising that anyone can get that kind of mileage from a Tundra. I don’t get that in mine, although I’m dealing with Houston traffic. You have the 5.7L?

It’s actually pretty nice. Frees up a ton of space on both the dash and center console.

Rented a Pacifica last month, found that I actually liked the knob shifter and the electronic parking brake. And I'm someone who still drives a stick.

seriously looked at the Tundra, still debating it, and they are sticker priced $20k less than similar Fords and Chevys.
either they aren't similar or you are lying. Tundras are 5-10k more than comparable Ford's and GMs

This is false. A Tundra Platinum is much cheaper than a comparable F150 Platinum. Even if you take it down to the Lariat with 502A package and Tech package (you'd need both of those to get an equal level of equipment as the Tundra), the F150 is going to cost more.

The "Tundras are more expensive" line needs to go away. It's not factual.

ETA: And I'm not even talking MSRPs, I'm talking what you cant actually buy one for.

but it is. Have you bought a truck in the last few years, or are you just talking like you think you know?


Just like the tundras are more reliable line, huh?
