It's not like any one of the big three would not do the very same thing and brag about it. Anybody seen how ridiculous TV commercials are? Every manufacturer claims theirs has the best blah blah blah....

I know. But the Toyota is a little more than a half ton. A 5/8 ton possibly?

 

I know they all do it and have their exploits. I'm curious if someone is going to overload and expect warranty work when it fails

I remember the commercials where they were driving the truck up and down a giant teter-totter... not so much a real life scenario

Click the link DanMan posted. Watch the video. Is compare a 5.7 tundra to a NHT. A friend has a CrewMax, nice truck. Great ride and a good amount of power. With my dyno tune his truck and mine have close to the same amount of power. His rides nicer than mine, but I don't like the interior

The little more than a half ton part came from the head engineer.

I remember several years back, I sold parts at a Furd dealership. :nonod:

 

There was a guy in a F150 pulling tree stumps out of the ground.... "trying" that is.

 

Anyways, the chain broke & the violent jerk that insued blew both his front airbags. He had the truck towed in claiming it was a warranty issue!!! Back then Ferd had those commercials of the F250/350 Super duty Turbo Diesels pulling trees up & hauling a load of timber out on a trailer!! HA! :bs:

 

I told our advisor he should warn the guy NOT to drive his F150 off into the ocean & attempt to swim with sharks!!! (that was another commercial for the Furd Expedition back then). LOL!!! :rollin:

If that's true, then why does every Crewmax I have looked at have a rated payload (door jamb sticker) of less ~1300 lbs, whereas my truck is 1560 lbs? I'd be curious what your friend's door jamb says...

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
