Evening, fellas.
Nice truck, Dan! I know that color; gorgeous. That didn't take long!

 

Is that a Tundra? Sorry, I thought we were talking about girl sized trucks.

 

Evening Gents - Long but good day.
Congrats Dan on a sharp looking truck. Enjoy....

 

2024 has the new twin turbo V-6, 390hp, the top model bumps to 435HP, not offering the V8's, didn't see that option. Bigger but twice as snappy feeling as Roe's 23 Tacoma, the difference surprised me, pulls hard for the size. I look at it like this, had my old one 18 yrs, at 69 figure I got another 10 yrs in me maybe so I'm not worried about the returns part, this point in life fug it why not, tired of just getting by or settling for practical.

This things no lightweight, it's a sizable machine, enough it's got an automatic full 360 deg camera system for close in like the backup view, that was major cool considering how big the nose is on all full size trucks the last few years. Was a bit leary of the size but it's only 10" longer than the 05, has a tighter turning radius and was surprisingly maneuverable in a tight parking lot I ducked into much to the sales gal dismay, handled better than my 05.

 

Pure luck, dealer 40 mi away had it, with a couple minor exceptions not available on this model it was the wishlist truck I had built playing on the factory website. Did the homework, been searching nationally, got it for $3K under MSRP with the ceramic paint protection package.

 

 

Your salesman was booking a cruise while you were reading the documents.

Damn PC world. Now I have to include a disclaimer to let you know in reality the margins on state/fed vehicle purchases is small and heavily scrutinized. Kinda ruins a good joke.

 

I am still laughing. That there's an outfit a feller could go geocaching in, you know, find trinkets and ****.

 

The **** is the important part.

 

I stand corrected on the V8. My F150 had the twin turbo 2.7-6 and that thing flat out hauled ***. I wouldn't hesitate to get another.
