I mean, I wouldn't be scared of a earlier 6.2, coyote 5.0, toyota 5.7, or titan 5.6, or 5.7 hemi with even a little bit of miles. As long as the transmission had 7 gears or less, the hemi and 6.2 weren't ticking, the tundra wasn't on 37s, the coyote had stock exhaust, and I bore scoped cylinder 7 on the titan to make sure ot wasn't eating itself.

For a brief period most manufacturers made a good V8 with a decent transmission.

Then it all went to shite.

I really want a new HD11 Crew but don’t want to spend the money. Wife gave me the green light gonna hold out to next year.

I bought two ranger crews this year.

Long story...

But, I love my northstar.

I have had all of them.

I too had the opinion it was a glorified golf cart.... Until i drove one through very rough swamp.

The reality is:
Tight quarters: pioneer 500/520 on 28s. Rides like shite, go anywhere.
Tons of miles: pioneer 1000
Working off of it: ranger 1000 or mule profx
Dual: Rmax... Then everything else
Sport units: yxz was too fun, talon if dping stupod high mileage, rzr for everything else

I did not include canam products because they are either perfect or huge hunks of shite, and I cant being myself to ever buy another brp product.

Any of those buggies listed above will drive up an incline you can't walk up, tow at least double what they are rated for, and haul at least 50% more than what they are rated for.

We can debate reliability and comfort until the cows come in, but they all can be reliable with simple maintenance based on your usage.

The only time I use any of the safety features in this truck is if I'm s*** talking on here or smoking a heater. Lane keep assist Auto braking and radar guided cruise control

love my 2016 Tundra. Bad mpg and low tech but it’s solid and definitely not junk.

---

Love my second gen titan. Bad mpg. Lower tech (did add a tesla stype screen because of that). Only fluid changes at over 200k miles.

Flash tuned. It is faster than all but the 3.5 ecoboost at this point. Mainly just pulled all the transmission safeties out. If you dont they are limited on power until 30mph or so.

Dead reliable truck. No cylinder ahutt off. Fully counterweighted forged crank.

As a large guy over there I refused to go to a grocery store without the wife. They would still hit on you with her there, but there was a lot less blatant harassment. :lol:

And good god if you crossed the water. Every island girl you met, from the hotel concierge to the girl working the checkout at the grocery store was a smile away from trying to screw you.

...I hate that your vote carries the same weight as mine.

I jumped over a hot tub last night so my kid didn't fall in the pool.

I'm feeling it this morning. Every part of me aches.

So...20 vs 40?

Real talk, I was once at a wedding for a couple I knew from southeast asia. The wedding was being held 2000 miles from where I live. I saw a pretty girl getting a drink about 10-15 years younger than me drinking a whiskey neat by herself at the hotel bar. I sat down struck up a convo, and it went pretty smooth. She bought me a drink.

About an hour in, I asked where she was from. She gave me kind of an odd look (red flag one) and said Louisiana (red flag two). After about four more red flags, I realized she was my cousin's daughter. :lol:

I still get shite for it years later.

If anyone should be getting shite for it, it should be her. I figured by distance/isolation of the event/and zero connections with anyone else at the wedding... I was safe to assume a pretty girl sitting at the bar wasn't related me my Shrek looking arse. There is zero chance she didn't know who I was.
