I think it’s awesome. I love the exhaust. I see no resemblance to ford, Ram or Toyota. Just because it has an embossed tailgate doesn’t mean it looks like a tundra. Geez.
I want powertrain details!! Love it though!

Haven't even driven on them and already knocking them, guess some people just follow an uninformed preconceived notion...

Yeah uninformed notion right... Lets forget about all the OEM and aftermarket rancho shocks that I've thrown away over the years due to early failure and poor performance. Rancho's are Walmart/Autozone junk, rather overpriced junk at that. Before anyone goes on about how they are supposed to be stiffer than the basic shocks, I am aware of that, that's not the type of performance I'm talking about. Fox, Bilstein, or king far out perform rancho. And if I'm paying extra money for an "off road" package I expect to not have to replace the shocks of that package. This Trailboss is built factory with a 2" lift, you'd think they would really want to wow us and maybe bring the Multimatic DSSV shocks from the ZR2, but no they slapped on a set of doomed to fail and underperform ranchos. It truly is disappointing...

 

Less Uninformed, more not naive...

Speaking of ram, here's the new Ram Tundra edition.

Now even more girly to match the shift knob. Fiat has really F'ed that truck up...

No bow tie out back.

Maybe? Since it is the trail boss edition maybe the other trims will have it?  I believe on the camo'd version they covered something in the area of a rear emblem; might have been a decoy though.

The only things that will get me to buy this new truck are adaptive cruise control and true keyless entry with push to start.

yeah, but what about the turn knob style shifter?  It's getting one too :(  Just like what is on the RAM now.

Beats the hell out of a floor shifter. It is an automatic, you touch it 3 times (P to R to D to P). Don't need a stupid bulky floor shifter taking up space that is much better used for storage. I would prefer a column but anything other than a floor shift. Buttons in the overhead console would be sweet, who doesn't love overhead switches? They use buttons in some GMC's.

By the looks of this sh!t, I'll never get another truck!

Who buys based on looks? It is a truck, the looks should be the last thing on the menu. Anyone who buys a truck based on looks when another choice is is better suited for their needs is well...

Unfortunately keyless entry is in everything these days so it is going that way, they have to accommodate the women with purses. I hate having stuff in my pockets when I am sitting, especially keys. Anytime I drive a keyless car I have to find a space to put the keys (or just let the old lady keep them in her purse the entire time, would rather they just leave the keyed ignition as that is a perfect place for them; but some people think it isn't "luxurious enough" in a truck like the German luxury they came from and scream for it. Ah well.

 

I will say the one gizmo I would like on my next truck is the adaptive cruise (just please don't tie it to only trucks with pleather seats). I use my cruise all the time and it bugs me to no end when people speed up or slow down and I constantly have to turn it off and on. Had that option as well in the Volvo rental as well as a few others, such a nice feature. Don't care about it steering for me though.

 

Pretty sure these trucks will have all that stuff this go around, just don't give it massaging seats, save some dignity for the owners.

Ugh did they confirm that? I sure hope thats not the case, I was under the impression from some of the spi photos that the column shifter was staying for the 19's. If GM has been listening at all to the consumer input they will have kept the column shift, I have yet to meet a GM truck owner who would wish away their column shift for a rotary dial.

Well you got your round wheel wells. Are you happy? They look like crap.

Wish-list: 1) Complete and total redesign to not look like a Fordyota, epic fail. Round wells and front facia ruin it for me. I was ecstatic about the 2014's design and still am. 2) No drivers "aids" or at least the ability to turn them off, like actually for realz though. 3) No vibration 4) Headlights that work, I cant see those little cubes even performing as good as the current models. 5) A true street truck version with a 7L or LT4. 6) Plastic bed liner. 7) Higher quality leather. 8) Fox coil-overs for the All Terrain. 9) And last but not least someone that has tuned a transmission before, or at least unlock the TCM so it can be tuned by someone that knows what they are doing. These transmissions are great probably some of the best in the segment, however the tuning is the worst in the industry by far which makes for an annoying shifting experience at times. If they put over a million test miles on the last generation and didn't solve these issues, they better put 2 million on this generation. Currently it seems like we are just getting a body redesign, and I am not a fan of it so I will probably play with my 15 6.2L for another 6 years and drive winter junkers.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
