Why not the new tundra?

 

Now that is a line that impresses me......

There is the measure of a man, how much force applied when the pen is thrust in......

 

at swee's naughty mind...

 

I am not completly sure, but if your VQ doesnt burn oil now, and you take care of it, it wont start burning oil ever. As for the quality issue, this motor is one of the most bullet-proof engines ever made, I am completly sure of this fact....

 

Oh my gosh, I never caught how horrible that sounded. Now we know where your mind is,....pervert!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why don't you just do absolutely nothing for now, and wait until his #7 spark plug pops out, or he shuts his truck off and hears wierd gurgling noises 1 minute later. 5.4 triton FTL, The head gasket's aren't as common as the #7 plug, but both of them are like knock-sensors to a maxima.

 

funniest thing I've read on this site.

 

How can you not notice right off the bat on how that sounds?

 

The earliest production Tundras were just rolling off the assembly line when I bought my F-150 - I did not believe it would be wise to purchase one so soon after such a major redesign. And some of the stuff I have been reading about the Tundra's reliability issues tell me I was right. I SERIOUSLY considered the Titan, but here in Canada they rip you off on the price of a Titan, so I went with the F-150. It's without a doubt the most boring of the full-size pickups, but I believe it is still the overall best package.

So far so good with my VQ, but what I read still concerns me. You will not find any oil-burning threads on f150online.com like what you find on maxima.org. I am not saying there are not issues with the Triton, but it is still a quality motor.

 

Same collision test, same speed. His big manly truck gets spanked like a b*tch and thrown to the gutter in shame by a Mini.

 

Many cars get spanked by the mini in that regard. It has one of the stiffest production frames EVER. Your suggestion is a start though, I suppose.

 

Hello, I have Nissan Maxima 2001 which has 56,000 miles.

I got check engine light ON and i took it to near dealer. They said DTC P0505 which is IACV-AAC VALVE --went with ECM. They replaced following parts 23781-2Y012 AND 2371-5Y006RE. After this they asked me to ride 100 miles, in order for readiness monitore to get reset. I drove the same and found the following not ready/reset.

1. Oxygen Sensor - NOT Ready
2. Catalyst - NOT Ready.

My delare again asked me drive some more my miles. I already drove 1500miles. Still it's not got READY/RESET. Because of this my state Inspection is getting FAIL. Now I am getting ticket from Cop. My dealer says he has no idea why it's not READY. He said need to call NISSAN help and find it out.

I took it to other dealer, he charged me 200Hello, I have Nissan Maxima 2001 which has 56,000 miles.

Can anyone help/throw some light on how to fix this..please.

 

A. There is a 5th gen forum for these types of questions.
B. I didnt understand a word you just typed.
C. Post whoring will get you banned.
D. GO TO THE 5TH GEN NOOB QUESTIONS THREAD!!!
E. Have a nice day.

 

True. But that comparison is still one of extremes -- it's just as striking how badly the F150 accordions as how well the Mini holds up.

 

tell him that his truck was mad in mexico, as many of them are, and that it's a bean burner like your car is a rice burner, that should shut him up

 

or or him.

 

 

Because I don't think like you. Your angle is so warped, it's refreshing.

 

Maybe she doesn't associate something as small and thin as a pen with anything dirty. Do you?

 

Yes, but what would happen if the mini and the F-150 ran into each other? I suspect the results would be drastically different.

 

a mini cant actually hit an f150, it just goes underneath and continues happily. but in all seriousness, they would actually likely have near equal damage, albeit the trucks being lower down. the mini would be messed up just like in the picture while the truck gets less damage than the pic

 

That was a collision at 40 mph with a solid barrier that did not deform. If the Mini and the F150 collided head on with a speed difference of 40 mph (e.g. if they were both traveling at 20 mph), the Mini would be even better off because the F150's crumpling would absorb a good deal of the the energy.

 

So you are telling me that you think a 2,500 lb Mini crashing head-on with a 6,000 lb F-150, the Mini would do better than the truck? No way. When the collision was done, the F-150 would still be going 15 mph forwards and the Mini would be getting pushed backwards.

Looking at the extremes, if you crashed a tractor trailer into a wall at 40mph, it would probably be a horrible mangled mess. But crash him head on into a Mini and he probably wouldn't even know he hit someone.

The Mini fairs so well in the wall because of it's solid frame compared to it's weight (i.e. momentum). But it can't possibly win against a mass more than double it's own.

 

That's nice. The Mini would still have less damage than it would have had against a solid barrier, and the truck would still be totaled.


Really?

What if it hit a 30-ton pile of pillows? That's more than 20 times the car's weight. The car couldn't possibly win!

You can't make any meaningful comparison based on mass alone. The Mini has an extensively triangulated unibody designed specifically for high strength in an impact and yielding better torsional rigidity than a Lamborghini Murcielago, and since it's so small, the energy it carries in a frontal impact is fairly concentrated. That generation of F150 is much bigger and has a ladder frame designed for distributed loading for towing and hauling, and that's about it. The Mini would go through that like crap through a goose.

 

Must be a bunch of teenagers on this website who shoot rice out their bung holes....I own an 04 Max and am proud to say that I'm trading that in for a 2005 Ford F150 Supercrew 4x4 Lariet.

Why? My max won't tow a 22' boat and actually the max couldn't tow my 15' Lund either and my wife's '04 Vibe had to take on that responsibility.

Ever think that there is a purpose to people buying certain vehicles out there? Is a maxima the answer to everyone's needs? I bought mine because I loved the new body style, interior, and the serious get up and go. I never raced against my wife's Vibe because that would be just pointless, sort of like racing a F150.

The initial moron is comparing an apple against a pumpkin and look at the retardedness that his racing comment started. Now its spread to see whether a Mini could withstand a full size pickup. Maybe those people should do something useful, like say run into a brick wall head first at top speed. Perhaps we should consider a Maxima racing against a Yamaha R1 since it is along the same frame of mind.

I'll race any Max with my F150 however I'll be doing it in a mud bog.

PS - I don't have any camo clothing, I don't hunt, I don't watch NASCAR, nor do run the concessions when I'm three sheets to the wind so please don't generalize and think that I'm a redneck. I've always owned imports and hate domestics but I'm not paying a ton of dough to get a Tundra nor will I drive a Chev or Dodge for obvious reasons.

PPS - Max's rule but mine's going to be enjoyed probably by someone who is half my age. I loved my car but it certainly didn't compare to my Acura Legend Coupe in terms of reliability (shimmy, BSR issues galore, rotor warpage, FSA's, etc).

PPPS - I'm a huge Kimi Raikkonen fan and that was before he joined crappy Ferrari

 

Promise not to use the 4wd and I'll spank your F150 muddin'

 

what are the obvious reasons to get an f-150 over a chevy or dodge? besides that dodge makes the best off-road and towing trucks and chevy is more reliable with a better appearance

 

The base tundra is far from expensive.
