Nissan, Toyota or Honda - They all last  and seem to be manufactured to perfection. My experience is that they never break (almost never) and there's nothing not to like. However, there's also nothing to LOVE. They are sterile and antiseptic with no soul. Personally, I'll take a soul with problems, than no soul at all. My wife drive a Lexus and it's a "perfect" car - But it has no soul.

Totally agree. My friend's tundra looks and feels like a tonka truck. Its a little wierd, they are built well...but they also don't pay attention to details.

I have a Toyota for my trip vehicle. It does everything well. It also has a very good reputation. I don’t think it would be exciting to be broke down on the side of the road. I have vehicles that are more exciting and don’t have to worry about being broke down with them. I wouldn’t even consider have a exciting vehicle that had reputation for breaking down, thats silly.

I also agree a 100% not knocking them they just don’t have anything exciting. Very generic and plain I would choose my truck any day.

How's your 15 running? Best grill design by far but gotta say I've hear some horror stories about the first production year, hopefully your not facing any issues.

15 was the second production year, YOU'RE a bit off.

Nissan and Toyota vs. Ford,GM, Dodge have horrible fuel economy.  They only give $17k discounts on vehicles they can't sell with smaller discounts.

Toyota hardly has any discounts. They usually sell for msrp and if your lucky maybe $2k off. Only Toyota I'd consider buying is the TRD Pro. Too bad GM doesn't have anything to compete in the hardcore off road segment (Raptor, TRD Pro)...I know we have the trailboss but that doesn't seem to wow anyone, still riding on ranchos and frame is not built up or anything.

The TRD Pro isn't "built up". It does have a nice suspension on it but that is literally all it has going for it. Still has highway tires, no locker and a horribly outdated interior.

Wow...you had to cap that? So he was wrong, just add a correction and leave it at that. I’ve been wrong several times and nobody has done what you did...

Take that money you didn’t spend buying a Raptor or TRD and do your own upgrades :thumbs:

Oooh another thing the new Titan (and the Tundra) have:  HEADLIGHT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT.  Yep.  There is a dial (like a dash dimmer) that lets you re-level your lighting with a load in the box.  None of the big 3 have that I think. 
 
Honestly going off from my other post a couple pages back, I'd rock one.  Pro4X king cab non XD version with the 5.6 Endurance with all the good packages. 


Reason they have that is due to horrible payload and towing. They squat badly and that’s why they need an in cab headlight adjuster.

New Nissan trucks, they’ve been rated the worst MPG’s, Towing, Hauling, reliability and especially resale value.

There isn't much demand there so why waste money designing something that wont sell well?

Seems like the only thing Titan about it is Titan of Poor sales. I see a few every now and then key word being few. If they are a contender of anything it would be the best kept secret in the country. They have a diesel that I am told is between a 1500 -2500 GMC. I have only ever seen one at a truck pull and he broke his U joint. Seems like in my area there is mostly no interest in them.

We did. ?? !!

 

For those that want to know or care .

My Grandfather was in Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941.

He was a mechanic aboard the Battleship USS Tennessee . The ship was right next to the USS Arizona and took a couple of direct hits from Japanese Bombers. The ship was damaged but not sunk. It got most of it's damage from being so close to the Arizona from what he remembers. He remained on board this ship for another couple of years after it was repaired and went on to "kick some ass" in the South Pacific as he said. He passed away in 2003 at age 87. He was a great guy and worked at Northern Ordinance

( Later FMC) as a machinist making gun hardware for Naval Ships until 1977. Once a Sailor always a Sailor.

My Grandma passed away a year later and said he hated the Japs and never bought anything "Made in Japan". My mom was born in 1940 and always remembered him as anti Japanese. 

For this part of my family history I never really cared for anything Japanese either. 

Call me what you will but I don't really care. I'm USA all the way.

This is one of the reasons both my Silverados wear these license plates

WWII Japan was probably one of the morally worst countries that has EVER existed. They brutally mutilated so many women and children that German Nazi's that went along with the Japanese invasion in China were found to have literally helped civilians escape. The German's hated one group of people, but thought it was insane the Japanese hated EVERYONE that was Gaijin(an outsider). Modern Japanese are ashamed of what they did, Japanese Veteran groups apologized publically for the lack of remorse of WWII Japanese Veterans. If he 90-100 year old Japanese were still the one's running the company you would have a point. A pioneering writer who dig deep into Japanese war crimes committed suicide because of the depression she sunk into after learning of the things she they did to Allied POWs.

 

 

We pretty much MADE Japan what it is today. If current Japan is the same as the old one, after controlled their country to the point we basically wrote their Constitution, so are you saying the sacrifice that was made to win, to influence their country to become what it is today was such a failure and a waste we should just ignore their progress and anything they do? If that is true, then all the troops trying to win other countries their freedom is just useless because they used to have terrorists? How is that supporting our troops, saying that a country is a lost cause because of what it once was.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
