The new Tundra is rumored to have a twin turbo V6. It will either be really great or the older V8 used trucks will go higher than they are already. Should be interesting. always on the back side of innovation. And in the front for reliability and resale. meh. Ford has never let me down and resale doesn't affect me.

Tundra is the truck of the year every year. No I've never been in one, does it ride like a truck or a car? I prefer a silky smooth ride and don't care about towing anything. Supposedly the TRX has eight “driving modes” and one of them makes it ride like a 1970’s Eldorado over rough terrain. I’d have to admit that this is a major selling point for me being a rural Hunt County resident.

Should be interesting. always on the back side of innovation. They also make vehicles that last and hold resale value (not important for you or me, but it matters). Most innovative vehicles? No, but they last.

It’s the Dodge formula they have used for many years. Take a huge honking engine and stick it inside a questionable quality car or truck and sell it as a high performance vehicle. Super B, R/T, SRT truck, etc...the problem is, the engine is still running great and the body and minor mechanicals fall apart.

Had a '96 Tacoma that was a beast, no bells and whistles, never did get stuck no matter how hard I tried, solid long lasting vehicles imo I had one too with 4 WD. Over 300 Thousand miles with only routine maintenance. Then it broke my heart by blowing a head gasket. I let the mechanic have it for $500 rather than spend 5k to get it fix. I can sure kick myself in the A## for not spending the money and getting a new motor. Got me a Tundra now and hate that beast when trying to fit into those itty bitty parking spaces at Academy.
