Found this in Car and Driver (Sorry for Motor Trend in title...I cant edit that) when I got home today. Sorry for any distortion due to taking a picture of a magazine page. Way to go Car and Driver! I haven't seen this picture yet. Sorry if it's already out there.

The design looks like a nice "progression" from the current model, and is more believable than any others I've seen. It keeps much of the same look, but a more aggressive/aerodynamic stance.

To me, the truck looks like the canyon in size. Most likely just an illusion, but it just strikes me as being small.

I like it. And I was think about trying to work the wife on a 2012 because of the incentives. Might wait now.

it kinda looks like someone just played around with photoshop on a 2012. the lights are the same, only squeezed down. The grille is the same, only made taller and made to take up the whole front. the cab and bed look the same to me.

 

Not saying I don't like it. I think it looks neat. but i don't know if that's what it's going to look like

I saw this in there too... Prolly haven't seen it before because I'm guessing this is just CD's mockup. Quite honestly though, I wouldn't be surprised if it looks nothing like this. Looks like basically a quick photoshop job on the current model. Squashed the headlights and curved some steel. Watch it be be identical so I'll have to eat my words. :lol:

 

As far as my opinion on it, it's ok but it just doesn't do it for me. If this is what it looks like I'm gonna plan on keeping my truck forever. Looks kinda "cary". I can't figure out how you would make a real bumper for it :happysad:

Headlights remind me of a dodge too much and fogs remind me of the new toyota tacoma's which I think are ugly. So is the grille going to be part of the bumper or is the bumper part of the grille? I'm up in the air on it

There is no bumper... unless you count the lower part of the grill. Grill does not look all that great to me.

My thoughts exactly, it doesn't look bad, but I think the new models will look a lot different then this.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
