Worlds funny today. Had this discussion with a buddy/member a few weeks ago. We associate John Deere as American through and through and perhaps Kubota is a Japanese origin company. Do a quick search and see which tractor has more American made parts, effort, and assembly these days. Wife owns a 4Runner…I can work on it. I own a new powerstroke F250….I’ll lose my mind trying to do anything under the hood with it. I’m about one more irritation before going and buying an older vehicle that just works and has some sort of amenity.
Tundras struggling with their new turbo 6 cyl because the 5.7 V8 wouldn’t meet emissions.
More fuel = more boost!!
80k on my 3.0 duramax. Let’s see how it holds up.
Vehicles have gone backwards in durability. Damn new ones seem to be 100k and they are money pits.
I run an 07 Tundra and a 02 Explorer back and forth to work. Couldn't be happier. $68 a year in taxes and insurance is pretty cheap since I got away from the State Farm crew.
Been keeping my eyes open for a 08 and down Sequoia 4x4 but haven't found that gem yet.
Domestic vehicles built during “Covid” are a nightmare. Some of the stuff we have seen doing warranty work is laughable. The newer ecoboosts seem to be the worse, but I think that’s more about how much it costs to fix each one. If you have a truck built before 2019, and you are happy, try to stay happy
Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands
Yep what Kevin said, Thank the Gov
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/
"Wow, often imitated but never duplicated. No one can do it like the master. My hat is off to you DRDUCK!"
Honda (Timmonsville, SC) and Yamaha (Newnan, GA) make atvs and SxS in the US; however, neither make outboards here. Talking to the plant manager at Honda who successfully pitched moving SxS production from Mexico to the US said he also pitched building outboards here and said it was the shortest meeting he had ever attended. He said it was the single most aggressive dismissal of any item he had ever pitched. The Honda execs basically in the days and weeks that followed that production methods and secrets for the outboards could not be trusted outside of the current factories. MG
