Gotta love how the factory lettering is just as bad as the ones the owner put on.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Yeah, what's up with that? If anything, the custom ones look better.

[-] narp@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

Looks like he took the letters off and put them back on. Originally the lettering has a way tighter spacing.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

And it's originally actually straight...

Nice, but also fuck cars. Is there a bicycle option for a more civilized age?

[-] Ertebolle@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

civilized age

This is dangerously close to a Star Wars quote

[-] django@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, my bad, you are right. Can you offer a better choice of words?

[-] Ertebolle@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

Just rent a car from Enterprise, much less of a sacrifice than buying a fucking Nissan pickup

My other truck is a Galaxy Class.

The VQ40DE engine they put in the 2005-2019 models is a great engine. The RE5R05A transmission is solid as well. If you get one make sure it's either past 2008 I think or the radiator has been replaced. The stock radiators had a flaw where it would make strawberry milk by mixing your coolant and transmission fluid usually around 100k miles.

[-] Entropywins@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

I do love strawberry milk, thanks for the tip!!!

[-] kamenLady@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

The Gen 3 tundras have the coolant to trans fluid heat exchanger on the right side of the tranny where the thermostat for the tranny fluid is located. Keep that in Mind.

I have a 2013. It gets shit gas mileage but I’ve never had any problems other than normal consumable parts.

[-] Montagge@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

It's a truck, of course it gets shit gas mileage lol
I do wish they'd bring back the small trucks that we had in the 80s

[-] ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

Small trucks are the worst IMO. Yeah they are better mpg but have shit towing and ain't much better than my Outback with carrying anything large.

Sure I'm sure there are some use cases but the half ton is just a more usable form factor without being that much worse on mpg or cost.

@ShittyRedditWasBetter the 1990 f150 had a 7500lb towing capacity? The Chevy Colorado gets a ton and a half, my CRV has over a three quarter ton https://www.edmunds.com/ford/f-150/1990/features-specs/

[-] ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

7500 isn't that much for boats cars. Some of them will be might be might enough but as soon as you move into covered trailers and mid size boats you'll find it limiting.

The crv has 1500lb weight limit not sure what your talking about there. Definitely not enough for anything but additional cargo space or a very small bike and trailer.

Happy to know some trekky out their is living their dream job.

[-] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

This is awesome and I want to be friends with the owner so bad. No one in my friend group likes Trek

[-] FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fuck Nissan.

I do like this though.

[-] Montagge@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Someone bought a Nissan with a CVT

[-] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nissan subjected us to having to share the road with Nissan drivers.
