Gotta love how the factory lettering is just as bad as the ones the owner put on.
Yeah, what’s up with that? If anything, the custom ones look better.
Looks like he took the letters off and put them back on. Originally the lettering has a way tighter spacing.
And it’s originally actually straight…
And it’s only FRONTIER“Space the final” is perfectly alignedEdit: nvm i zoomed in
Nice, but also fuck cars. Is there a bicycle option for a more civilized age?
civilized age
This is dangerously close to a Star Wars quote
Oh, my bad, you are right. Can you offer a better choice of words?
Ain’t towing your boat on a bike 🤷♂️
Most people don’t need to tow a boat, and those that do only need to do so a minority of the time.
People should have the option to bike to where they need to. Instead everything is basically designed around cars being the only valid form of transportation.
Not to mention that you don’t need a massive obnoxious truck to tow a boat, which the previous commenter most likely also thinks.
Okay, those people have cars available to them. I for one tow probably 20 weekends a year 🤷♂️.

But they should have a safe means of biking.

And your use case/case is in the minority.
Then maybe op of comment shouldn’t make generations 🤷♂️
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
Depends. Rowboat? No problem.
Touché
The one day you actually use it?
I tow my car probably 20 weekends a year 🤷♂️
You might want to look into getting a different car if you’re having it towed that much.
Race car.
You’re just like everyone else!
Most Americans tow thier boats and race cars half half the year!Ok guy
I never said I was?
When our species develops a philosophy without the need for accumulation of wealth, a inflatable kayak will do and can be easily transported by biclycle.
Oh once the planet only does what you find enjoyable👌👍
You don’t need a truck to tow a boat either, especially not a big one. Probably nearly any motor vehicle could tow the majority of boats that are being towed, not that most people who own a truck are toeing boats and not that boats are being towed often anyway. Just rent something the one day a year you take the boat out if you need to. It’ll save you money in the end.
Any medium sized boat with the ability to go fast is going to be about 5500-6500 at the bottom end. You might get one of those with an ultra light trailer but not much more. There are plenty of popular boats that you need a 3/4 ton for.
Anyone else notice the clever license plate. “Beam me up”
I thought that was what I was supposed to notice.
Look at the left side of the truck
Whoa dual taillights. Nice.
Just rent a car from Enterprise, much less of a sacrifice than buying a fucking Nissan pickup
My other truck is a Galaxy Class.
The VQ40DE engine they put in the 2005-2019 models is a great engine. The RE5R05A transmission is solid as well. If you get one make sure it’s either past 2008 I think or the radiator has been replaced. The stock radiators had a flaw where it would make strawberry milk by mixing your coolant and transmission fluid usually around 100k miles.
I do love strawberry milk, thanks for the tip!!!
The Gen 3 tundras have the coolant to trans fluid heat exchanger on the right side of the removed where the thermostat for the removed fluid is located. Keep that in Mind.
I have a 2013. It gets shit gas mileage but I’ve never had any problems other than normal consumable parts.
It’s a truck, of course it gets shit gas mileage lol
I do wish they’d bring back the small trucks that we had in the 80sSmall trucks are the worst IMO. Yeah they are better mpg but have shit towing and ain’t much better than my Outback with carrying anything large.
Sure I’m sure there are some use cases but the half ton is just a more usable form factor without being that much worse on mpg or cost.
@ShittyRedditWasBetter the 1990 f150 had a 7500lb towing capacity? The Chevy Colorado gets a ton and a half, my CRV has over a three quarter ton https://www.edmunds.com/ford/f-150/1990/features-specs/
7500 isn’t that much for boats cars. Some of them will be might be might enough but as soon as you move into covered trailers and mid size boats you’ll find it limiting.
The crv has 1500lb weight limit not sure what your talking about there. Definitely not enough for anything but additional cargo space or a very small bike and trailer.
Happy to know some trekky out their is living their dream job.
This is awesome and I want to be friends with the owner so bad. No one in my friend group likes Trek
Fuck Nissan.
I do like this though.
Someone bought a Nissan with a CVT
Nissan subjected us to having to share the road with Nissan drivers.
