Thumbs up on whiting out your license plate and not your buddy's on the Sierra in the pic lol.
Possibly. But that all goes into the quality and build quality as well.Current CR rating shows 2/5. I'm sure a lot of it is related to the rear window frame cracks, mediocre A/C and the 12" screen issues.
I don't think so - the CR overall rating is a calculated rating that is comprised of the score from each component area.Possibly. But that all goes into the quality and build quality as well.
I'm talking in general. It all goes towards the vehicle's build quality and perception.I don't think so - the CR overall rating is a calculated rating that is comprised of the score from each component area.
This was being discussed on another forum on a different brand truck. The question was "Should I buy this truck and what kid of quality should I expect?" After many of us being honest with quality issues-one poster came on and said "They are good trucks because I have had several and they never left me stranded!" I had to explain to him that it's the TOTAL OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE" that's important. And infotainment systems, rattles, and erratic shifting transmissions all count.I'm talking in general.

Amen. I've sworn off Nissan because my '04 Maxima fell apart around the drivetrain. Fantastic engine/trans, terrible everything else. I liken it to the 90's Dodge Ram diesels.This was being discussed on another forum on a different brand truck. The question was "Should I buy this truck and what kid of quality should I expect?"

Ehh.
The Worst Ram 1500 Feature is Infuriating Drivers
Despite being an overall great truck, there is one part that sticks out as the worst feature of many Ram 1500 trucks. And it drives owners crazy.www.motorbiscuit.com
Any rear window frame crack?That said, the large tablet-sized UConnect screen was known to have some funky issues when it was introduced which is why we avoided it on our Sport. Ours is a VERY early build 2019 and so has had a few TSB's that applied to it (brake mounts, body mounts) but no issues at all with the interior or electronics.
The drivetrain is the most important part to me in terms of reliability. I can deal with little issues. I'm not sure how JD Powers gets their data and how they come up with their numbers. They do seem way off base. CR appears to be more accurate.This was being discussed on another forum on a different brand truck.

Agreed; the term reliability means just about everything except does it run the majority of the time.The drivetrain is the most important part to me in terms of reliability.

Nope.Any rear window frame crack?
No frame crack at 47K+ miles. And I don't baby the truck!

I'm waiting for the next generation Tundra. Rumors are coil springs in the rear and aThis is about the Express model only. I have no experience with other trims.
No power seats, so resting your arm in the center console might be troublesome during long trips depending on your height. If too short, it will push your shoulder up. Or down if you’re a tall feller. After a trip out west, I felt I needed an upper back replacement.
No left foot rest ( there is a thread on another forum about this). So, unless you’re growing a longer left leg, you’re screwed. Not noticeable during city driving, but as soon as you hit the highway for a few hours, you will feel the pain.
If I were to do it again - and I won’t for now - I would be buying a Tundra.
Understand your feelings, but I like the ole V8I'm waiting for the next generation Tundra. Rumors are coil springs in the rear and a
"eco-boost" type motor. So-it will probably generate as much horsepower (or more) as the V8 without the abysmal gas mileage the current model gets.
I went from a HEMI V8 to a turbocharged i4. The only thing that makes me think fondly of the hemi (aside the sound), is the torque just off idle. The i4 is a bit soft from 8-1400rpm. After that, it feels the same, but prior to 1400ish or so, it just feels a touch soft.Understand your feelings, but I like the ole V8
