I’m waiting for the new pro as well .I just got a 21 but that hybrid may have won me over .

I’ve heard some talk that it may be quicker than a Raptor, but no one has been allowed to publicly test it yet. Toyota is staying tight lipped about performance data.

I just watched a video on YouTube on the pro ,they say it has more horsepower and torque than the f-150 hybrid .437hp and 583lb of torque.So a tad less hp than the raptor but 75lb more torque .

Yep, the torque number is why some are saying it may be quicker, but there are a lot more variables to it than just that. I spoke to someone at one of our local Toyota dealers yesterday, and he said not to expect to see them until late spring/early summer.

and.........I'm still waiting for my chevy I ordered in May. They say it's has been built just waiting on shipping information. Coming from Indiana.

For sure. Hopefully my current truck holds up until then or I’ll end up buying a Ram instead. I’m supposed to be taking my boat down to Pickwick or Chickamauga in the early spring for a week, and that may be too much to ask from the old girl.

Hahaha yep. I loved my old Ram, didn’t have many issues with it, and it had around 200k on the dial when I sold it. Ram and drove perfect, just had some typical NY cancer on her. Honestly, I should have offloaded the Chevy and kept the Ram.

I had a Dakota 4x4 trapping truck .200k miles .I believe it was a 5 speed .The thing rusted out before the engine and tranny went unfortunately.Still smooth riding at 200k.

I traded ram in on  ford it was 16 years old  160k. Wouldn't pass inspection as it had rusted through  in the frame . Loved that truck  got chitty milage tons of power . Drove through anything . That was my replacement truck new for the lemon  Diamond Chrysler bought back .

First truck had trans problem they couldn't get figured out . Every time the dealer worked on it it got worse . Started out with down shifting  climbing hills . By the time they were done it wouldn't shift out of drive . I had the sales manager and the service  manager in the truck . Drove down a dead end road . Couldn't back up had to turn around in a cornfield .  Parked it at the front doors and shut it off . They had to deal with me in front of all the customers..  had to get mechanics out there to move it as it wouldn't start in drive.

Even up trade on a better equipped 2 years newer. Dealer wasn't happy when he found out I had already been in touch with arbitrator.

“Quicker”?

Lol that’s not real high on my list of vehicle concerns.   I’m keen on reliability and resale as I get old and long in the tooth.  You young bucks can have the speed…….

My next vehicle will probably be a 4 door sedan.   Curb feelers are already on my mind too….

Our secretary at work is an antique.  She’s 82 YO and doesn’t like putting gas in her Camry.  She’s asked me to do it numerous times and of course I do.   Those things should come with a large shoe horn and an ejection seat.

I'm 6'2" and I can't get in the wifes escape without hitting my head or feeling like I'm folding my self in half to get in .  And I really  hate that frigging hatch in the back . Cut my head 2 times already  and broke a pair of glasses.

We’ve certainly derailed this thread.

I think your definition of Shack Nasties and my definition of Shack Nasties are wildly different

Interesting you say that , when  we were car shopping for our youngest son  the escape was the only vehicle that he had room in ( he didn’t want a full-size at the time ) He’s 6-6 and has tons of room , actually when him and I sit in the front we are comfortable and I’m 6-3 . 

[Lawdwaz]

I won’t be googling “shack nasties”,  I’ll check with the neighbor kid at the filling station down the street.   He’ll know……..

BIL said they are running 9 to 10 weeks . But Ford says March. 

Theyre both right
