Gotta love how the factory lettering is just as bad as the ones the owner put on.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, what's up with that? If anything, the custom ones look better.

[–] narp@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Looks like he took the letters off and put them back on. Originally the lettering has a way tighter spacing.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

And it's originally actually straight...

Anyone else notice the clever license plate. “Beam me up”

[–] Magnetar@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought that was what I was supposed to notice.

Look at the left side of the truck

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

Whoa dual taillights. Nice.

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nice, but also fuck cars. Is there a bicycle option for a more civilized age?

[–] Ertebolle@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

civilized age

This is dangerously close to a Star Wars quote

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, my bad, you are right. Can you offer a better choice of words?

[–] Ertebolle@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

Just rent a car from Enterprise, much less of a sacrifice than buying a fucking Nissan pickup

My other truck is a Galaxy Class.

The VQ40DE engine they put in the 2005-2019 models is a great engine. The RE5R05A transmission is solid as well. If you get one make sure it's either past 2008 I think or the radiator has been replaced. The stock radiators had a flaw where it would make strawberry milk by mixing your coolant and transmission fluid usually around 100k miles.

[–] Entropywins@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I do love strawberry milk, thanks for the tip!!!

[–] kamenLady@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

The Gen 3 tundras have the coolant to trans fluid heat exchanger on the right side of the tranny where the thermostat for the tranny fluid is located. Keep that in Mind.

I have a 2013. It gets shit gas mileage but I’ve never had any problems other than normal consumable parts.

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a truck, of course it gets shit gas mileage lol
I do wish they'd bring back the small trucks that we had in the 80s

[–] ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Small trucks are the worst IMO. Yeah they are better mpg but have shit towing and ain't much better than my Outback with carrying anything large.

Sure I'm sure there are some use cases but the half ton is just a more usable form factor without being that much worse on mpg or cost.

[–] lampsofgold@nutmeg.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@ShittyRedditWasBetter the 1990 f150 had a 7500lb towing capacity? The Chevy Colorado gets a ton and a half, my CRV has over a three quarter ton https://www.edmunds.com/ford/f-150/1990/features-specs/

7500 isn't that much for boats cars. Some of them will be might be might enough but as soon as you move into covered trailers and mid size boats you'll find it limiting.

The crv has 1500lb weight limit not sure what your talking about there. Definitely not enough for anything but additional cargo space or a very small bike and trailer.

Happy to know some trekky out their is living their dream job.

[–] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

This is awesome and I want to be friends with the owner so bad. No one in my friend group likes Trek

[–] FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Fuck Nissan.

I do like this though.

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone bought a Nissan with a CVT

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nissan subjected us to having to share the road with Nissan drivers.
