Do you love your truck?

[D is for DENALI]

It will be my daughter's first vehicle in 4 years, payed for and maintained...

I will upgrade in 2021, not sure if I'll get a gmc , lots of small issues,most likely get a 2013+ toyota sequoia.. big power and similar towing and capabilities

I went to the dealer to show the wife the new sequoia and sitting in the limited is.........sweet. it's not lexus quality, but every year it's getting closer and the price is great for the options...

I hope to get 75 k more before I pass the keys over, hopefully she wants it but i told her she could sell it and get something she wanted...

Hopefully she'll love it and keep it, even for just the memories.

She loves it now, feels safe and big like a truck is, with all the cool stuff for an 03... but in 4 years who knows, she could say, " dad, I want a Sebring convertible ".....lol

To my," whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!"

She might not need so much vehicle and ill understand... ill most likely be paying for gas too..


plus , in 4 years, I will have spent 4k on upgrades and changeouts, it Will definetly be a solid truck when she gets it... can t wait for the tune and ranchhand legend series front gaurd... Ok, and the corsa! Still have intake tube to do

I drove a 2011 Sequoia, lots of low end torque with the iForce motor. The only thing I didn't like was that it drove top heavy and loose when you hit an exit ramp hot. Toyota is starting to have some frame rusting issues, especially on the Tacomas. The Sequoias were actually recalled several years ago for frame rusting problems.

They are having rust issues, but to their credit they are replacing the frames for free.

It depends on the dealer. My father-in-law has one that was rejected at his last inspection and he is fighting to get the frame replaced. I know there was a large class action lawsuit recently, but not sure what the verdict was. Don't get me wrong, I love Toyota's. I have a RAV4, Highlander, and Sienna. Their mechanical reliability is hard to beat.

Very generally speaking, I love driving my Tahoe when all systems are GO. It just looks and feels great. But I cringe when something fails, as is going to happen here and there.

This is why lots of folks love driving a Toyota, for example. They're relatively bulletproof. Boring? Sometimes. And that's why my small brain can't get excited about owning one. But their awesome reliability is nothing to sneeze at, and that's why many swear by them.

 

[D is for DENALI]

Ive had 2 siennas, a matrix , and a camry...

When I sell the matrix I will be getting an avalon limited.. so much space and the packages are amazing. Again, approaching lexus quality with every passing year without the price tag.

 

[adventurenali92]

I had a Camry as my first car and it was pretty much bulletproof until we had a snowstorm that buried it under 6 feet of snow. Haha. But I loved that car. It was so reliable. Literally never broke down and left me stranded anywhere. Had 2 dodges after that and both were pretty reliable, unfortunately the Dakota was totaled(not my fault). The Durango was pretty solid, but was getting to the point where after 4 years of owning it, i was just sick of fixing it with such high mileage. So I sold and used the cash as a down payment for my Denali. So far with my Denali, it's been rock solid. It's not been without issue, but no used car is when it changes owners. Vehicles are a big part of life for me and I get attached to them. I love my Denali. But that's also because it's pretty much my dream car and I love the fact that at 23, 2 years ago when I bought I could afford to have my dream car. And I'm still proud of that. So I will probably keep mine til it falls apart. Haha. But I also like it design wise a lot more than I like the newest gens. So I'm not really inclined in a few years to look to upgrade to a newer Yukon. Although I love thegmt900 Denali and would love to have one of those. Lol.

The Toyota V8's have major problems. My friend who owns a body shop just sold his Tundra because it was nearing 70,000 and that's about when the engine needs to be basically rebuilt due to the cam I believe. As of this year's models he said the design flaw hasn't been resolved. He bought a 2017 Silverado 3500HD 4x4 with a Duramax and he lifted it like 16" lol.

Ok....So I am a newb here but I have read many posts by you and have a ton of respect for you. This comment is in NO WAY meant to be offensive towards you but..........YOUR FRIEND IS SMOKING SOME SERIOUS CRACK!! I am by no means a Toyota nut ******* but I happen to know A LOT about them. Their V8's are some of the best on the planet since 2003! Sucks changing a timing belt on the 4.7 and I don't have that much experience with the 4.6 and had a 5.7 in my 2013 Tundra. Wow...those engines are amazing! I have a 2008 GX470 that I am replacing with my 2006 Yukon but I am already missing the engine. I just hate the vehicle!

I would strongly dispute that claim. Toyota just tore down a million mile Tundra, 2007 model. The guy had no failures other than routine maint and I think an alternator.

People have had AIP failures on the tundras, but that seems to be 2007-2013 models. If it were wide spread problems it would be all over the Tundratalk forum, and it isn't. I have a hard time believing how bad Tundras are on Chevy Forums

To top it off, if Tundras were having such reliability problems, their value would be garbage. I traded my 2016 with 12k Miles for 37k. I bought it for 38 and change with a sticker of 42.

The 2002-2007 model toyota trucks and sequoia were bulletproof. I have several friends with seqouias like the one i wanted before i bought my denali. And they run like tanks. My dad had a 2004 quad cab tundra that he put well over 200k on without a single problem. I was hoping he'd pass it down to me. But instead he traded it in a couple years ago on a 2014 and the 2014 has been a hunk of crap since he bought it. Every month it's in shop for something wrong. He keeps complaining that his truck is a lemon and wants a new one. Yet doesn't do anything about it haha. I also have a few clients with 2008 and newer tundras that have been plagued with problems. From what I've seen these newer models have not been very reliable. But that's just what I've seen. I don't have one so I'm sure there are gold and bad ones.

Just going by what he said. His was a 2012 I believe and I know he lost a ton of money when he sold it. Maybe his fear was unfounded but he seemed to have done his homework. I did some googling and to some extent it seems to be true that there are some issues with the cams in the 2007-2014's but I found more about the major frame rusting problems as well as a host of other problems. I don't know much though because I've never been a fan of Toyota trucks. I think the Sequoia's are about the ugliest SUV ever made, personally. But that's just me. Their cars are definatetely rock solid but boring as well.

 

[PG01]

Ya know, i was gonna stay out of this thread because i was like 'yeah, i love my tahoe'.... i held on to my '01 for 12 yrs and thought id do the same with my '13....but then i saw a black nnbs platinum escalade esv awd the other day and I've been crunchin numbers on my truck and scouring the internet ever since....not sure it will happen but damn those are nice trucks....if i can find a 13 or 14 with the right mileage and for the right price.... you never know.... just not into the '15 up body style yet....

 

[adventurenali92]

@Galante , I know, I see the newer nnbs denali and escalades all the time and I'm just like..... One day.... Lol. Last week I was detailing for some friends from my old church, and their street is pretty narrow. I was parked as far off the pavement as I could but still sticking out. The city bus came through and almost wrecked my truck cuz he was being a complete du,bass and driving too fast in a residential area. My friends were like that would totally suck if he hit your car. I'm all "kinda, but then again it's fully insured and if the bus totals it, my insurance will pay out and I can buy a newer one!" Haha. I know that's bad......

Now who's smoking crack? You guys seriously like the look of the NNBs over the NBS? I say no way- the NBS are the best-looking bodystyle. Except for the 2015-up but those have too many problems for me. I think when they went to the NNBS, especially the escalades and the Denali's, they made a huge mistake. They got rid of all the body cladding that made the Denali's look way different than the Yukons or Tahoes. And then there's the front ends on the NNBS Denali's. I don't like them at all, they look like a smiley face to me. Almost as bad a design as the cat-eye Silverado's or as I call them the Angry Bird Silverado's. Apologies if any of you drive one, I don't mean disrespect but I just don't like them. As far as loving my truck? Hell yeah I love my truck. It's bulletproof, looks badass, it's fast and I can fix pretty much anything that goes wrong with it. For a 15-year old vehicle, I get a lot of compliments and I fully expect to get another 10-15 years out of it. And it will still be faster and look better than 95% of the vehicles on the road.

 

[bigblue05]

love my truck more than my street car and apparently everyone else does as well i get notes on it all the time asking if I'm selling

Bingo was his name-o.

 

[adventurenali92]

I agree @Red Rocket , I think our body style is better because there are so many things that make them different from a regular Yukons and Tahoes. Yes the NNBS have some flaws, but I still like them a lot. One day I,will have an NNBS Denali or esky. Lol. But I still love my nbs and hope that it goes for a long time.
