Hi all,
Back story - sorry totally devoid of RAMs.
Ex-Frontier and Tundra owner here, still a fan but the Frontier was just too small for my line of work and the Tundra was getting to the kind of mileages that make me a trifle nervous. Long story short, the Frontier was bought as a stop gap for those times that the Tundra was receiving standard TLC and when it's torque converter started shuddering I figured that it was time to update my rides.
Another second gen Tundra with lower miles would have suited me but they are stupid money for high mileages and old age to boot.
So, following an enforced walk to the only dealer in our small town to check out his secondhand stock I came away with a 2021 truck. Needless to say that I have the type of missus who isn't averse to collections of trucks but three of them on the driveway, one of which was an all but useless Frontier, was not a happy wifey going to make! So the old girls went to new homes, hopefully the Frontier was just for scrap because it needed a rebore when I bought it but instead of a rebore it got 50k miles over two years and a caning.
And so it came to be that a zealot for Asian vehicles came to be the owner of a 2021 Laramie sport, Hydro Blue Pearl, with all the bells and whistles and yummy 5.7l V8 goodness under the hood.
I would apologize for the dirt but if I wanted clean paint I’d spend my hard earned bucks on art to hang on the walls not a truck.
