What does this tell you?

 

General Motors’ full-size trucks are undisputedly its most important vehicles, which means recently appointed full-size truck engineer, Sheri Hickok, occupies one of the most important positions within the company. The 37-year old mother of two was appointed to the position in December, and now faces the daunting task of developing the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.

& the CEO of the company that built your truck is in fact, a woman. Would also bet there were *gasp* women working on the assembly line when your truck was built.

 

That stuff aside, have to give Nissan credit for making the jump they did. Granted, they did not have much to lose in terms of market share with the Titan. But still, it is a bold move.

 

Speaking of, has anyone seen the 2016 Nissan Maxima super bowl commercial? Again, they are taking a big chance on styling for a 4 door sedan.

The car is at 1:16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd1qCi5nSKw

 

I will likely never own either of the above vehicles nor Toyota, Honda etc. But Nissan pushing design like this is a good thing as it will force mfg's to build unique to their brand vehicles.

Seems some cars these days just have a different brand badge in their given segment. Hopefully this is a start to change the bland designs.

I just can't stand the Nissan ads where they take out a regular Maxima dressed up as a racecar and the actors "fall" for it. No way a real person would be fooled. :lol:

True.

Totally agree. As well am not a fan, at least in theory, of their continuously variable transmission set up. Not even sure which specific cars it is in w/o looking it up.

Do remember reading tons of complaints 09-12 range.

When my mom was looking at Subarus I was a little wary of the CVT. But I read up on it and couldn't manage to find any dirt, in fact the complaints were as rare as the complaints about the GM 6 speed are common. :lol: It drives very well, it's actually fun to drive.

 

However, I have ridden in a couple 2-3 yr old Altimas and I don't like the way they drive in general. Appliance car IMO.

Well now I guess we are all screwed allowing women to design trucks. I'm not exactly happy with a lot of the changes in GM since it became gov motors.

all I know is that they stated this POS jap truck would be able to tow up to 12k.

If thats all they can tow from 555 TQ, then to me this truck dosent hold its own weight.

Looks are subjective and as much as I think this is one ugly mother F***, it will have its followers but end of day is what kind of numbers will it have ?

How safe can it be for a 1/2 ton to tow 12,000 lbs. not very. At least not here in mountain country.

Towing is not only based on torque numbers. I can tow 10k+ with stock 385 ft lbs. Should I? No. Am i able to? Yes. The brakes, frame, transmission, suspension, and tires also play into the number.

Your right and that was my whole point. Its got some power but cant back it up . They paraded this POS ugly ass truck as the gap between the 1500 and 2500 trucks but its the same as any other 1500 truck ( numbers wise) . Nothing special .

Sorry for 555 TQ , that thing better atleast tow 14k-15k pounds. I mean besides the power , it does nto have much more to fall on as this is the ugliest truck on the market.

The poor Tundra, now has to take a back seat as the ugliest truck .

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.
