Trade Wars and Tariffs

euphemism?

No. I physically make love to it at least twice a week.

Love my Tundra.

Hey I’d buy one before a RAM!

I have just recently been able to accept Toyota as a current NASCAR “big 3”. It’s going to take me longer to accept a full sized pickup not from North America. ( Yes I know they aren’t all built here but they were designed here) Baby steps

An F-250 with 84k miles is just getting broke in. The leather is in fantastic shape. The ratty piece was the steering wheel so I put a new steering wheel on it and I’m gonna drive it another 84k miles.

Guarantee quality is better as well
It is like the world workers collectively said IDGAS post covid

The other day I saw a 40 year old Ford ranger. Had the chrome bumpers. Looked well cared for. Paint was shiny. A box on wheels. They should've never stopped making the compact truck.

Bet dude gets an offer to buy every time he drives it

The original Tacoma was a work of art I think.

4 or 6 banger?

 

[MercyPercy]

I've barely put any miles on my 2020 Tacoma since I work from home. It gets used for fishing and camping but at the current rate of usage I might never need another vehicle lol

Years ago we had a 4. Prefer the 6 myself.

Honda did away with their 6 and went 4T. At least on cars

 

[Orangeburst]

I think even Toyota QC is suffering these days at least from the scuttle butt

 

[volinbham]

I've had at least 40 cars - usually buy high/sell low. My tacoma's are the only vehicles I ever made money on. I bought a used one with the famed 4cyl (4x4) with timing chain - easiest car to sell ever and I made a good chunk of change on it.

Seems to be the trend for all manufacturers

40? You sound like 72 Grad

 

[StarRaider]

That’s what cornfused me

you may be cornfused but at least you dont see dead people... let's call it a win

I've wasted a lot of money over the years. Have 4 right now.

I work in and deal with finance mainly AR for an industrial, manufacturing, government etc supplier. Two main industries we see particularly unhealthy right now are auto manufacturing and component suppliers, also food. Lots of places having difficult times paying bills and employees right now.

 

[C-south]

Ahh, gotcha. Then Ram will collapse if they raise prices 25%, it’s an already inferior product compared to its competition which I believe are all made domestically. I’m talking about full size trucks Ford, Chevy/GMC.

Yea nobody in their right mind was going to pay $80k.
