Toyota made a beautiful truck... sad they scrapped the V8 in favor of the turbo 6. also skeptical on the hybrid as that power / tq setting is likely dead if you're towing anything as the batteries will be gone in minutes.

I'm normally never a brand new redesign fan but I like it alot. I knew they would get rid of the v8. 14mpg highway is just pathetic in the Tundra V8 and they had to do something. Hoping this 3.5 will get 20-22 highway. One thing I am not happy about is the Hybrid uses a NiMH battery.

Almost looks like a Chevy if it wasn't for that hideous front end

The grille is a bit ridiculous. The hips on the bed and wheel wells do make me think GM.

Even the headlights and the way the windows are shaped are very Chevy looking I just really hate the grill. It's to much. It's the focal point of the truck and it shouldn't be because the rest of the truck I actually like. New ford's are the same way. Big tacky grill and front end that actually takes away from the look of the truck.

I don't like the 2021+ F150 fronts at all. The 2018-2020 was my favorite with the STX grille.

I mean, my jeep only gets 15 mpg, so 14 isn't so horrible lol

My Chevelle gets half that on a good day. The 69. The 70 only runs a quarter mile at a time

If I were on a budget saving criteria.. Id prob. pick up a Prius or a Leaf just for a gas saver.. unless I could locate another 92 Honda Civic Hatch with the 1.5l. I had one that got like 40mpg running @75 mph on highway use,and an Automatic. Car was pretty much bullet proof for any kind of repair. Change the oil, and rotate the tires pretty much.

Ya.. not a very pleasing selling point by any means.

You should bring back that account. That dude tripped me out.

I actually like the Titans. Especially the big quad cab specials. Some big *** trucks
