lol, Oh I'm definitely aware. Occasionally I do forget, But usually get reminded pretty quick.

I think you are just miss understanding what I'm saying. They will still have emissions. Skip a head to about the 7 min mark on This Video. This guy is a diesel tech and explains better. All the diesel emissions is about reducing what comes out the tailpipe. These smaller 6L engines are being...

Its not bigger engine less emissions. Its larger heavier vehicle with larger displacement engines are subject to different emission standards. Think Uhaul vs small car. Obviously the uhaul isn't expected to run as clean. Big motor heavier truck is allowed more NOx, ect. It makes sense. Obviously...

I think they know, they just don't care. Everyone makes more money if they need repaired or replaced constantly. More vehicles sold helps the manufacturers and the government. Putting systems in them that shortens their life spans isn't a negative to anyone but the buyers lol. Even forcing...

Actually from my understanding it's something to do with emissions. Heavier bigger motors have different emissions then smaller engines. Like amount of emissions per liter of engine effects it. Basically these larger engines probably aren't going to be much more power, But they will put out...

Everyone knew it was just a kicking the can down the road thing. Pico test and different weight oil wasn't a fix for poorly manufactured crankshaft. It's probably a combination of things anyway. Toyota on the tundra tried to say it was debris left in the engine from manufacturing. Said they...

It's made by Spigen. They make phone and tablet cases. I've had a few of them. I really like the SL mount. I had a different one and returned it because it hung down to far and was a pain to remove the SL. The mini is super easy to take in and out. I've had the mount up there for a month and it...

I haven't heard anything, If I had to guess the MSRP will go up so will the shipping/delivery fee. They seem to be pretty consistent on those two changes every model year, lol. Everyone has been talking about the new body style and engines coming. I can't see them doing many upgrades to the...

I wouldn't replace the spare for that little of a difference. It won't matter. Spares usually age out before they get used. I say that but I have already ran my spare for a weekend on my ZR2 HD :rolleyes:. But, who knows what tires you will have in a couple years, lol. You could go through the...

Well typically they are depreciating assets. Likely the price you can get will just go down. MSRP keeps ticking up which helps. I debated on trading my 1500 for a few months. The value dropped 5k in the couple months while I was thinking, lol. You got 12k off MSRP when you bought it, so that...

Oh, I don't disagree. Diesels cost more all around. If you aren't towing heavy they're kind of a waste. Not even supposed to idle them with the DPF. The resale thing is a myth. They all lose about the same percentage. Look at the same used trim and year ect. With the only difference is gas vs...

If you are going to trade every 2 years it doesn't matter what you get 🤷. Not unless you rack up a ton of miles quick. I went gasser because of Diesel emissions. But im typically out of bumper to bumper in a couple years and usually keep my trucks a while. I like the 6.6 gasser. It actually is...

7.3 is a good engine. They had some early issues. But from what ive heard they got them sorted. A guy I go 4 wheeling with has one in a Tremor. He pulls a large toyhauler and is happy with his. Honestly they are better then the 6.6 in pretty much every metric. More power slightly better MPG...

Same around here. None of these trucks are actually on the trails. Logging roads and power line trails maybe. Mostly just to pull toys to the trails. 100k gets you a new turn key supercharged rock bouncer on 43s solid axles with 24"s of wheel travel, lol. It makes no sense to really wheel...

I got a Starlink mini for the Toyhauler, So I got this mount to run it on the ZR2 while on the road. Ran the power cable behind the headliner. Works great
