Idk why you are being down vote. You're 100% correct
I have a second Gen Titan with 218k miles on it. Repairs are... Nothing. I did change the suspension at 150k to something with a little more pizazz

It's flashed with a bit more timing than stock, transmission line pressure has been upped a bit as well. 0-60 is a little under 5.5 seconds.

Tows great. Fuel mileage if you keep your foot out of it is 18-19, my best ever is 22.

If you drive it like you stole it... Single digits :lol: big block territory.

Interior is actually good, but radio is beyond dated. Swapped for a big 12inch android dash screen and I can't find any reason I'd buy a different truck.

I have the 5.6 with the 7 speed. It's a stout combo. Only complaints: First gear is basically worthless. And the jump to second is a bit far.

Brakes are massive, frame is fully boxed. Towing and payload were based off of pmetric tires. Adding a set of truck tires really highlights how badly Nissan goofed by putting it on passenger car tires I've seen Texas farmers pulling north of 25k with the XDs... I've never pulled more than probably 14k. Honest assessment? Handled the weight perfectly if you didn't drive like a moron. Did NOT like if you tried to accelerate at full pop with that amount of weight. In my defense, I only attempted to do so because I forgot how much weight was behind me, it towed the weight with the same ease as it towed the empty trailer.

I intend to have no less than five aladinos today...

And either a bottle of ardbeg uigeadail...or an old forester barrel pick I've been saving.

The wife may not approve

It'll lessen the risk of tearing and actually make things much better postpartum.

Tell y'all something y'all might not hear today.

The sacrifices you make are appreciated. The time you commit is acknowledged. Thanks for doing your best, even when that seems an impossible task :cheers:

I'm struggling to think of a Toyota after 2009 with a timing belt ... It may not exist.

As for the engine, oil clearance for bearings is incredible close to the size of the debris in the engine.

Are robot mowers a target for thieves, or are they useless without the control box?


Useless if stolen.

Also pop an air tag in it. It has its own gps, a camera, and alerts you the second it is moved outside of bounds. The air tag is just for thieves to think they disabled tracking.

A family member who didn't understand thought they were being helpful by moving it away from the nearest road as "no one was watching it" I called and gave them an ear full about 20 seconds after the front wheels left the ground.

I have a mammotion Luba 2 10000

I had to send it in for warranty work after 600 miles of cutting.

It accidentally backed into a drainage ditch. Something hung up a rear wheel and it attempted to back up, pivoted and went in about a foot of water for a few hours lol

Drove it out manually. Rear wheel locked up 40ish miles later. They sent a box. I dropped it in there, mailed it. Got it back a week later fully serviced and good to go.

It's mowing 3 acres right now.



It costs me 5 gallons of gas to mow with zero turn. That's 15-20 dollars a week. The Luba has a negligible effect on electric bill. So it saves me 1k a year. If I get to three years and it does after warranty, I still came out ahead :lol:

Ford has been making a 3.5 V6 since what? 2013 without them eating their bearings


You really want to argue the reliability of the Ford 3.5? :lol:

Now the 2.7...yes.

Watched a full tear down of the Toyota 3.5 the other day on YouTube, it really really sucks that the engines had crap left in them, because the design of the engine itself was brilliant. Everything in the little motor is over built.

If you'd like to see, it was on Dave's garage.

Having said that, forgetting to properly clean the motor is insanity on their part.

A 1995 with a double din tablet in the dash was my favorite thing to drive.

Why?

Needed a key to get in. Key to start. Could still use waze to look for cops.
Wife and I did get flashed by a group of girls riding in the bed of a truck in May. Assuming it was a senior skip day going to the camp. The tits were pretty nice. :lol:

Unfortunately my toddler saw them... And now he looks in the bed of every truck he can see :lol:

Bilsteins have never given me a like factory ride.

Having said that, they are all I run.

Usually external reservoir on the rears and on the fronts too if offered.

But the valving is always...firmer than stock.
