And you wouldn’t be hauling anything with it except maybe a small MDF IKEA dresser.

IIRC the Ford Maverick has a hybrid option, but of course they're impossible to get and marked up ridiculously. Yeah, it’s the base model that was allegedly $19,999 lol. my buddy was trying to buy one of these in so-cal last year and everytime they had one on the lot the sold em at a minimum of a 50% mark up and they would be off the lot in less than a day. hard-rocker shit

Best in class half ton towing is 14,000 which I wouldn’t feel comfortable with. Towing 12,000 lbs with Tacoma would be terrifying.

Just replaced the wiper motor in my volvo 850 wagon (94). Profound sense of accomplishment, considering my automotive illiteracy. It did take me a while, but now we are back in action. A short road trip away from 300k kilometers on the odometer. Love car.

The problem with turbos is that they wear in your engine a lot faster. Those Tundra V6s are legendary, and despite the fact that replacing an old hybrid system is expensive as all hell, Toyota's the best in the game at making hybrids. They've been making them at the highest level for the longest amount of time.

They gotta bring back that V8 for the Tundras though, that's real bulletproof workhorse

they're usually not that complicated per se, but make sure you have plastic trim tools for popping things loose, and a magnetic pickup tool for when you drop screws into the door cavity.
also you WILL be angry when you are trying to pop the little plastic tab things on and off the actuator rods

and make sure you get all the screws out of the door panel (usually behind the door handle, sometimes in the arm rest, along the bottom of the panel, etc) before you start yanking on it

I just don't get the hype with a turbod out v6 complexity not really getting any better mileage than a typical small V8. Pull a trailer at elevation in Colorado and you'll see the difference. The heart of a tractor trailer is a turbo straight 6. It's a good formula for a reason, power is there when you need it, somewhat economical when you don't.
