I have to admit having the Tundra run 12's is very appealing.
But then the 100 hp Polaris General forken rips to the point it's scary!!!
I can't imagine the latest s x s that double that!!!
Yeah I love the looks of the tundra. And Toyota always makes a fine truck, reliable and better off road than most. Ended up falling in love with Ford's ecoboost, even though mostly I am a Chevy guy and not too fond of the looks. Set my tuner once for the 93 octane. And holy crap that thing moves.
I've thought about a UTV. But just not sure I'd get anything out of it. Plus have a Wrangler Rubicon I take off roading which I like.
Thinking for a 3rd vehicle of getting another hot hatches though. Good for trips I'm not pulling a trailer and fun as a daily driver. And was between the GTI and Speed3 back in 2011.
Ecoboost = equals a dead motor around 100k if you're lucky.
I keep hearing that but still no data out there to show some big cliff for them. Now it's getting into it's 2nd decade of making that motor, and while I get when it was the in thing to say as a twin scroll turbo direct injection that was brand new and went against everything truck motors had been, but its kinda going the way of the "you'll have to spend $5k to change the batteries in your Prius at 100k".
Not a pile of used batteries or ecoboosts sitting in the junkyard even though millions of them on the road.
I've got a second gen and they get 650 horse out of that motor for the GT. I'm not going to come close to that myself.
LOL...
Do I really have to link it for you?
Those puny engines relying on boost die early,if it isnt the turbo it's the motor itself.
So, we've got 4-5 million of them on the road. Over half a million of the 1st gens out there at 6-10 years old. So we are talking hundreds of thousands of F150 ecoboosts hitting 100k miles based on normal truck owner mileage.
I'd like to see the link to the failure rate now that we have a large source of data to use and how it compares to other engines...
It's common knowledge that naturally aspirated engines will last longer because they are under less stress.
Thats not to say all of th
You can get 200,000+ miles out of most newer cars if you maintain them properly.Yeah I love the looks of the tundra. And Toyota always makes a fine truck, reliable and better off road than most.

How Many Miles on a Car Before It Dies? (Tip: Maintenance is Key)
Yeah,thats the biggest thing.
Frequent oil changes are a must since the engine oil also lubricates the turbo and causes it to break down much faster.
