Ford Ranger coming back?
- Thread starter Trump
- Start date
So Bob and Chris want to portray my Tundra as the poster child for Toyota unreliability huh. Unfortunately they don't see the big picture. My truck has been running through the worst of the Rust Belt for nearly 160,000 miles and 10 years of service. The body is perfect despite the six months of salt and chlorine spray we see around here. The drive-train runs flawlessly and no major component, other than the frame, has ever needed to be replaced/repaired despite using my truck as a truck. The frame, subcontracted to Dana Corp, was found to have three pin-sized holes and instead of fluffing it off or just throwing some goop on it; it was replaced for free by Toyota, a rental vehicle was provide for 3 months for free by Toyota and all cost incurred were given for free by Toyota.
I guarantee you that if Bob's Chevy or Cris' Dodge were to have spent their life in this environment their trucks would be a whole lot lighter as the body panels and underbody components would have nice rusty holes in them by now. It's such a common thing here abouts its referred to as Chevy Cancer and Dodge Rot. My last of many Dodges (yes I use to be Dodge man) suffered the Rot badly despite having it undercoated, Rhino lined and being well maintained. My last GM (an '05) was a problematic vehicle in the nicest of terms. Did Chrysler or GM step-up to correct a poorly engieered product?
So before you all go using ole' Fafhrd as the poster child here for unreliability you might want to look for other examples cause all makes and model of vehicles have their problems. That's why all makes have service departments and keep guys like Bob employed. But I'll stick with Totota as no other brand has ever served me better. Oh if you do need another quick example for unreliability in your haste for post domination you can use this next time...

Gentlemen, it appears that a nerve has been struck!
Wow, I would've loved to see that in person

There are rumblings that the days of the 2 door wrangler are limited
I really prefer the look of the 2 door over the 4 door wrangler, but the 4 door just seems so much more user friendly to me. It would not surprise me to hear the end of the 2 door in the near future

The 4 door is so easy, every soccer mom in PA drives one. Which is great, because my kids all want mine. So in a few years there should be plenty on the used market for them.
You can' throw a stick in these parts without hitting a 4 door JK...
Hell yeah! Its my truck they're talking about, its not like it was something unimportant like "Hey, your kids are fat."Gentlemen, it appears that a nerve has been struck!
