  1. The 0-60 times were actually significantly quicker than you mentioned in the video. The LS V8 with 280 hp was about 6.3 seconds while the LS V6 with 232 hp was about 7.6 seconds.

  2. Why bother mentioning the Tacoma? Honestly...

  3. NOLAItsNotOva "I can tell by your username that apparently you dont acknowledge any other truck except FixOrRepairDailys" - That's complete bullshit. Just because I'm a Ford guy doesn't mean that I only like Fords and hate every other brand. Frankly, I love the new Ram with its beautiful interior, optional diesel, 8 speed auto, and air suspension option. To me, it's the whole package. I also think the new Silverado/Sierra are great choices too. You can't tell me that you aren't partial to a brand yourself; everyone is has their personal favorite. Don't go hating on me just because I can form my own thoughts and opinions; this is a fucking free country! The reason that I said "Why bother mentioning the Tacoma? Honestly..." is because the Tacoma is a complete shitbox. Not because I hate everything other than a Ford, but because the Tacoma is a legitimate piece of shit that isn't even relevant to this video. The only thing that it's good at is not breaking down, that's it! If you buy a Tacoma instead of an F150 because it offers a center console gearshift in a regular cab, you're fucking insane! It's not even full size truck anyway. All that you're doing is looking for things to hate about Ford. Who fucking cares that they claim to have the first floor shifter in a regular cab? Also, how do you even know that it's true; just because Sofyan said it doesn't mean that Ford actually claimed that. People can't even take a comment these days without getting all defensive... This isn't hypocritical, either.

  4. NOLAItsNotOva For the record, you were the one who was comparing the Tacoma to the F150. I asked why and you proceeded to bash me and draw false conclusions about me based on my username. Nowhere did I compare the F150 with the Tacoma. In fact, I stated "my original point was that it was stupid to even compare a Tacoma to an F150." You basically contradicted your original statement by saying "also, youre comparing trucks in two completely different segments", thereby proving the irrelevancy of your original post. I also find it funny how you call the F150 cheap, have you seen the Tacoma lately? That brings me on to my next point; reasons the Tacoma is a shitbox: 1. Cheap interior materials 2. Uncomfortably hard seats / poor ride quality 3. Mundane body-style basically unchanged for 10 years 4. Same powertrain used since 2004 5. 4.0L V6 is too under-powered for 2014 6. First gen. has bad rep. for rusting Most of those reasons are based on opinion, and the reliability of the Tacoma is great. However, those 6 reasons alone would prevent me from pouring my hard-earned cash into the Tacoma. In this day and age, there's no excuse for it to be such a "shitbox". You may think the F150 has a cheap interior, but it's far better than that of the Tacoma. Also, how can the Tacoma "pretty much do everything your cheap Ford can do"? The Tacoma's tow rating is 42% less than the F150's. Sorry, I wasn't aware that that was pretty much the same thing. Same story on everything else, even the gas mileage is similar.

  5. In your opinion.

  6. It is; even though it has less power, it's lighter.

  7. The Ecoboost outperforms the Hemi in nearly every respect, aside from sound. Why does Ford suck?

  8. punkboy459 The Altima is not a shit family sedan. It actually has more interior room than the Maxima, more trunk space, gets better fuel mileage, and is faster from 0-60. Given it has the same engine, the only differences are weight and power. The Maxima has the greater 290 hp compared to the lesser 270 hp put out by the Altima, but the Altima weighs about 260 pounds less than the Maxima, which is a considerable amount when it comes to speed testing. It works out where the power to weight ratio in the Altima is better than that of the Maxima, therefore, the Altima is marginally faster from 0-60 than the Maxima. In this case, WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT YOUR TUNED MAXIMA! Anybody can tune a car and make it faster, we're talking about the stock 2014 Altima and 2014 Maxima! Your 308 hp Maxima is irrelevant in this scenario. You're the one who has no idea! You assumed that because the Maxima has more power, it's faster. Never once did you take into consideration the weight difference, you simpleton. Let me know if I need to dumb this down for you to understand it better. I can tell by your grammar that you don't speak English very well.

  9. Bruno TaTa I'm sorry, that's just not practical. I'm not getting the 4 cylinder, and I need 4x4. You have to admit that these "small trucks" are a bit overpriced. My point was, I really like this truck, but for that money I can get so much more. For instance, I can get a 2015 F-150 XL extended cab with the Sport Package and 2.7 EcoBoost V6 and 4x4 for 35k. Think of it this way, the F-150 is bigger, more powerful, and has nearly as many features for less money. That's why this truck probably won't sell that well. It's big brother the Sierra is only marginally more expensive for much more utility. And if it's a lifestyle vehicle you want, might as well just get an SUV like everyone else. Sure, some people will like it, but the idea doesn't work for me. Believe me, I wanted it to be good, but it is simply too expensive. When you say "It's not their fault you can't pay more" are you implying that I'm missing out on something? Is it also not their fault that they just lost a potential customer?

  10. nezerac Did you not read what I said? I'll quote it for you: "The only thing that it's good at is not breaking down, that's it!" Emphasis on not. Therefore, everything that you've stated about reliability, I agree with. Yes, of course I've seen Top Gear's attempt at killing it, the truck is indestructible. That doesn't mean that the Tacoma isn't a shitbox. I'll give it an A+ for reliability, an F on everything else. I'm getting off topic a little bit, however. My original point was that it was stupid to even compare a Tacoma to an F150. If that guy (NOLAItsNotOva) would rather drive a Tacoma than an F150 for the sole reason that it has a floor shifter in a regular cab, he's got some problems. It also says something about the F150, though; if the only thing he can think of to say destructively is about something as petty as a floor shifter, Ford makes a damn good truck.

  11. Alright, the F150's interior is getting dated, but it's still a nice place to spend time on the higher trim levels. It's only here until the fall, though, that's when the 2015 is coming out. The new interior has much better quality.

  12. nope, the taurus was never RWD

  13. he's right though! how can anyone like this car, there are just too many build quality concerns...

  14. How is this engine compared to the optional 3.7 from the TL?

  15. Out of experience, I sat in the back of a 2004 F150 FX4 with the SuperCab and the rear leg room is not great. I'm 5'9" and I was a bit cramped, however, I have long legs for my height. Granted, the front seat was pretty far back. For anyone over 6'0" tall, it will be crowded in the back seat, but the front seat isn't any different than a SuperCrew. I would get the SuperCab over the SuperCrew any day just for the 6.5 ft bed though. The SuperCrew comes standard with the ridiculously short 5.5 ft. bed. You can get a SuperCrew with the 6.5 ft. bed, but then the truck becomes incredibly long and won't fit in some garages. Just my 2 cents.

  16. Zack Zander Good choice. Thanks for the feedback, by the way.

  17. I'd like a truck this size, extended cab, not crew cab. However, the tester truck in the video is not worth 37k at all, in my opinion. It's not affordable, and that's what I thought the essence of a small truck was. (Though it's not small anymore)

  18. Call me close-minded, but I cannot accept the fact that Kia is building luxury vehicles. Kia is a brand that doesn't know what it is, 10 years ago they were building undesirable economy cars and I would've never dreamed Kia would have a 420 hp V8. They've definitely come a long way, but if you're in the market for a luxury car, you've obviously got money. Why not choose the brand that has years of pedigree and refinement, BMW for example. If I were spending 65,000 on a car, I'd prefer it be a BMW 5 Series than a Kia.

  19. Ricky Garcia Which one is smaller and has less features?

  20. Ricky Garcia I'd still rather have a 5 series than a Kia K900. Who said bigger is better? (With the exception of the gentleman's region). Also, the short wheelbase 7 series is still longer than the K900 wheelbase, granted the K900 still has slightly more interior room, you're right. Let's face it though, BMW or Kia? The choice is yours. And it's obvious that Kia borrowed some stuff from BMW: IDrive and the gearshift knob to name a few.

  21. Are you seriously commenting 2.5 months after this was originally posted? But I still maintain my original opinion. Why would I care about price? You get what you pay for, after all. I don't care if the Kia is cheaper, I'd have the BMW any day.

  22. Lucky man No, I never said that only Germans can build luxury vehicles. As a matter of fact, pretty much all of Europe, Japan, and America build luxury vehicles. I'm just prejudiced about Korean car building capabilities is all. No need to continue to argue with me, you won't change my opinion.

  23. Lucky man It's not that I don't know anything about them, I know lots about them. I just don't like them, and like I said, I'm prejudiced about them because of the name. If someone gave me one for free, sure I'd drive it, it's probably a very nice car. But would I buy one, no. Also, the reason you can't change my mind has nothing to do with my age, it has to do with my ability to form my own opinion and not conform to the beliefs of others. By the way, I'm not 16 you creep! I'll be 18 in 3.5 months. Who's the one jumping to conclusions now?

  24. dchawk81 Congratulations, you can jump to conclusions given the proper evidence. Round of Applause

  27. punkboy459 Oh, and another thing... Go to this YouTube Channel: The Fast Lane Car. When you get there, search "2013 Nissan Altima vs Maxima 0-60 MPH Mashup Review". Watch that video, they prove that the Altima is faster than the Maxima at one mile above sea level. At one mile above sea level, the cars will be slower than when at sea level because there is less oxygen for the engines to breathe in.

  28. Geoffery Watson As you can see, I'm a Ford man, but how is the Hemi a joke? It's quite a good engine in my opinion. I'm also positive that the Ram doesn't have a car suspension; it's got a payload of nearly 2000 pounds for god's sake. Also, why does it matter that it's owned by Fiat? The quality of Chrysler vehicles has actually increased dramatically since they merged with Fiat in 2009. What's the point of spewing a load of bullshit? Facts win arguments, not bullshit.

  29. i wonder why ford didn't update the power output in the e series engines. They are the old power outputs. The newest 3v 4.6 v8 produces 292 hp vs this 225 in the e series. Also, the newest 5.4 v8 produces 310 hp while this one is 255. The 6.8 v10 now produces 362 hp and 457 ft. lbs. torque while the 6.8 in the e series version produces 305 hp and 405 ft. lbs. torque. If Ford had simply put the updated engines in the E series in 2009 when they refreshed, I think they'd be much more desirable.
