I'm actually liking it...
Just an FYI: calling others "boomers" just makes you sound like an ******* - you can make your point without resorting to dumb-*** millenial/Gen Z dipshit sayings
That's a big oofJust an FYI: calling others "boomers" just makes you sound like an ******* - you can make your point without resorting to dumb-*** millenial/Gen Z dipshit sayings
It's all good here man, and I don't take it personal - it's just a word of advice. Saying "OK boomer" sounds good in sound bites on Twitter and TikTok and Instragram when your audience is other millenials and Z's, but to everyone else who actually runs things in the world - which is still mostly "boomers" and Gen Xers, since we're not dead yet - it just sounds dumb. When we hear something like that, it's like you coming into the office on Monday morning with a tattoo on your face. 
That's the part I dislike most of all as well - I think the grill is hideous. Nevertheless, Toyota makes good products and competition just means everyone else has to step up their game, and there's nothing wrong with that.
The Toyota Tundra will be built in Texas... Ford in Mexico, Ram in Mexico/Detroit and GM trucks in Canada. (Atleast my 05 Silverado was). Texas is as American as it can get!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose.
If you don't "need" a truck like I don't, take the $44K and run and wait for the next set of trucks to hit the dealers and go from there. This insanity will not last forever and whoever doesn't take advantage of this current market (that doesn't really need a truck) is crazy IMPO.
I do need a truck for a cross country move I'll be making here soon. I guess it just depends on what kind of MPG the Toyota will get, right now I'm averaging 22.5 in my V6 Ram 80 city 20 highway. (I live 3 miles from work)
That’s not completely fair. Some of us “want” and “like” our trucks, so why run out and ditch them for a cash grab?
Not based on being fair or unfair. Because it is the fiscally responsible thing to do my friend. I "want" and "liked" my truck VERY MUCH too. But, to cash in on something I didn't need that was solely a toy (no hauling and no towing) was the right thing to do from a financial perspective. With new trucks coming in 2022 and 2023 that will have significant upgrades, and allowing the COVID-based semiconductor shortage to normalize, there will be hundreds of thousands of NEW trucks flooding the market once manufacturers are to ship them and get them off their storage lots. Prices will normalize and you'll be able to buy new for a great price based on the number of available vehicles. This is a once in a lifetime event that we may never see again. To not seriously consider it is a big mistake. Where can you go today and make such a high return on your investment? Vehicles depreciate...not appreciate and, if you can and aren't emotionally tied to your truck...you should sell
OK, let's play this out: I presume you have already sold your house (in this amazing seller's market) and moved into a small apartment? In your words, it would absolutely be "the fiscally responsible thing to do" right now, and "to not seriously consider it is a big mistake". After all, this is a "...once in a lifetime event that we may never see again." I don't know about you, but I don't feel like moving just because I can get a great price.Not based on being fair or unfair. Because it is the fiscally responsible thing to do my friend.
