Looks as though the Tundra is a least made in North America. Profits probably go back to Japan though.

Of course the profits go back over seas since Toyota is a foreign car manufacture. No different than GM making cars over seas or in Mexico, profits all come back to the USA.

Hope they fixed the rust issues. I had a Tacoma I was happy with overall but in just two years the underside looked horrible. Guess time will tell.

I really like the look of the Tundra but the gas milage and open "C" channel frame is what strayed me away but on the bright side it probably makes it ride much nicer then new GM trucks.

 

I wouldn't day its a looker.

Just got another RECALL for "could catch on fire". Glad I ditched the bitch, and for all you Tundra haters I haven't had to take my Truck back to the dealer even once.

If that is recall 14121, it is not a new recall, but the one announced in the news in April and in another thred on here as Transmission Oil Cooler recall. Many of us are just now getting the paperwork, but have already had this checked.

 

By the way, nice looking Tundra.

Tundra has to be the worse looking full size truck on the road today...

I disagree I think that honor goes to the Titan followed closely by the Ram. I actually don't mind the new tundras they're much better than the previous body style. GM trucks are still the best looking on the road.

but the tundra got a refresh and still is ugly, the titan just hasn't been touched since it was made basically.

All of Toyota's profits go back overseas....really?? If that's so, who's profits build Toyota manufacturing facilities here in the United States providing employment to American workers?

 

How is it exactly GM benefits the American people by sourcing vehicle components from other countries and building vehicle assembly plants in countries other than the United States? It seems quite evident that GM is hoarding their federal bailout money and/or investing profits in many countries other than just the United States. By doing a quick search of GM's factories, it sure doesn't appear their profits stay here on American soil. GM is a multinational corporation just like Toyota.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
