      Ethan Benson You’re right. I’m a Toyota dealer mechanic and the Toyota Tundra is significantly more expensive to fix than their cars. Toyota V8 engines, although bulletproof, have Euro car level repair costs when they do break. I’d personally buy (and did buy) a BMW over a truck. But then again if people have the money to blow on a truck and run it, and it makes them happy, then why not, it’s their money.

The first comment people make on a car revolves around how their phone interfaces with it, probably because they spend more time texting, calling, and skipping through songs/podcasts on a playlist than paying attention to the road. Hence why the next comment people make about a car revolves around autonomous safety features so they can have a false sense of being slightly safer ignoring whatever is happening around them.
      I would be happy to own a car with no stereo at all, personally. There are too many idiots on the road where I live so focus is essential.

    This generation of GM's pickups were a smashing success. It's what I consider keeping it simple while staying in line with modern times. It's not aggressive, it just looks tough, simple and ready to go. I really like to call this the revamp of the GMT800 trucks. The GMT900s didn't really carry on the same energy the 800s did, but the K2XX trucks picked up the slack and nailed it. Every day I'm seeing less and less GMT800s on the road, which used to be insanely common and still are to an extent, but now those trucks are being replaced by K2XX trucks. Owning and driving both GMT800s and GMTK2XXs all the time, I completely understand why this is the case. Both platforms share a lot of the same energy and I believe that's what people like about it so much.

    Wide roads, cheap gas/diesel and broad countryside, tax is not based on displacement...it's the American privilege that Americans are enjoying and is taken as granted.

One thing that tends to hold true no matter where you go, people tend to modify their trucks more frequently than any other category of vehicle. Mild as it may be, bigger tires and a leveling kit are modifications and I don't consider that truck stock.

    GM makes some good vehicles, or parts if you know what to look for. But advertising lies don't go unnoticed once people start checking what you do and look for what's out of place. Reminds me of another industry, or companies if you want to get specific.
    We've all heard the jokes, but there's no arguing that Toyota and Honda make the most reliable vehicles.
    If you really want specific brands you should look for specific year models. There are good years out there under GM.
    Edit: The Allison Transmission is from a company named Allison, obviously. Because GM is ordering transmissions from another company that makes specifically transmissions they have to include a label stating this. Ford is also doing the same thing so yeah. Quality transmission.
