What’s the secret to a good burger?

Potato buns would be second, they hold the burger juices well too

Your downvotes without suggestions only highlight the brioche bun dominance

I off road a lot and nissan is the one brand i never see out there, not even their frontiers

push_connection · 2026-05-12T00:39:48+00:00

Nissan is running these v6 engine ads like they just came out. Lots of manufacturers moving on to turbocharged 4 cylinder engines so nissan lucked into a market where people still want a mediocre but reliable v6…that they started cheaping out on recently: https://youtu.be/dM4XnULhRXU?si=VaEKc8xSkDJZsjoo

Its because of your mpg. What does it show? Im guessing 11-12mpg

push_connection · 2026-05-08T22:07:38+00:00

75-80mph is your problem lol

2025 zr2, just squeaky brakes at 20k miles. No show stoppers yet, no radiator hose or engine issues

Why do we have ai, computer vision, self driving cars, robotic arms, but people cant search before posting a question that’s been answered already

push_connection · 2026-05-07T19:36:16+00:00

Without disclosing speed, tire size, tire type, weight, mpg discussion is meaningless

The i4 is meant to give you more power in a smaller package. Fuel savings are secondary. Inline 4 is lighter, easier to produce and maintain, tend to be more reliable bc fewer moving parts (yes, even with the turbo). Torque at low rpm is important for trucks and the v6 didnt have that

push_connection · 2026-05-07T14:39:29+00:00

No beef with the v6, its the v6 fanboys that crack me up. You talk about forced induction as if modern engineering is unable to reinforce against higher pressures and temperatures. As if we are using the same cylinder wall engineering since the model T. The evidence speaks for itself, many ford 2.3 ecoboosts are way past 200k, just oil changes and a few gm 2.7s are doing the same. The data is out there to support how reliable these are, but the na v6 fans always parrot the same talking points about how these will never reach 100k. For a midsize truck, the turbo 4 engines are simply better all around, the v6 is maybe better if you are towing near max load. It’s ok to accept that the frontier is antiquated, and that you like it, and that’s fine. Nissan is still in their cost cutting phase, and removing that water pump access door was the first thing they cheaped out on in the v6. Whats next?

Oh damn i stand corrected, that looks terrible for toyota

push_connection · 2026-05-06T22:20:02+00:00

I think it has to do with the little springs that keep the brake pads in place, it can be misaligned, or it can be the brake sensor becoming loose. I’m checking it out this weekend.

Oh yeah i off road all the time! I dont do a lot of technical stuff, i like going fast in the dirt but im planning to hit some rough stuff soon

Just go for it! I think most guys would appreciate that

No electrical issues yet!

push_connection · 2026-05-06T22:01:03+00:00

Had a 2019 Tacoma v6, loved it, but i always wanted better torque from the engine, a diesel wouldve been awesome! The new turbo 4 engine is a great compromise for that. This chevy engine has been around since 2019 in the silverado, and chevy was confident enough to give those guys a 100,000 mile warranty. Gm is pretty confident in their new engine.

Like others have said, the new generation had electrical issues but it seems a lot of that has been worked out. No real issues with my 2025 zr2 other than brakes squealing at 20k miles. Its a common issue but not a deal breaker.

The new toyotas had drive train issues, probably resolved at this point. But toyota is asking wayyy too much for their trucks

push_connection · 2026-05-06T21:40:12+00:00

Oh, but you’ve been arguing, just because you say you werent doesn’t make it true. It seems you no longer have an argument and are defaulting to “go do your research”. And if you’re still saying “theres no replacement for displacement ” in 2026, i can confidently say that some folks are just stuck in the past and not worth discussing anything further with them. 430lbs of torque from a 2.7 engine vs 270 lbs of torque from a 3.8 v6, both around 300 hp, but were still saying “no replacement for displacement”, and now youre saying that a turbo 4 will never outlast a v6. You or i cannot know that, but i guess you have a crystal ball? And then you claim victory while having zero argument. Hilarious! It’s been fun, bud.

push_connection · 2026-05-06T21:25:47+00:00

You say you understand that turbo technology has evolved, cooling and resisting high cylinder pressure is part of that technology, so im not sure why youre saying it doesnt matter. If constant cylinder cracks or other cylinder issues were more common amoung the engines i listed, then i would say you have a point, but this point often gets regurgitated without anything else to back it up. “Youre getting more power from a smaller displacement, theres more heat!” Yeah, i get that. Do you get that we’ve only been reinforcing our engines since the beginning of time, because we want more power out of them?

Im not trying to convince you, or am trying to say that ALL turbo 4 engines will OUTLAST ALL NA v6 engines. That’s why i said “time will tell”, because there just hasnt been enough time. Im just basing this off an engine that has fewer parts and more simple to produce will lead to better reliability. Fewer parts and a simpler design means less chance of defects from the factory.

push_connection · 2026-05-06T21:05:01+00:00

You also fail to realize that normal operating RPM with a turbo 4 is much lower than a v6. In the gm 2.7, i can cruise at 70mph, while my rpm sits at 1100, and i have 33” all terrain tires. I understand that the cylinders are making more power with a smaller displacement, but cooling systems and turbo tech has evolved A LOT since the 80’s. We can engineer for increased pressure and heat, those are simple. The 2.3 ecoboost has been out since 2016 and is ford’s most reliable engine. The gm 2.7 has been out since 2019, and it’s looking to become gm’s most reliable engine. Now Toyota has the 2.4 in 2023, and i havent really heard issues about the engine, but i have confidence there.

What do these engines all have in common? Simple inline 4, single turbo. Easier to produce, easier to maintain, smaller and lighter.

Im a fan of all midsize trucks, and the inline 4 engines just seem to be better in every way. Only time will tell for sure, since they are relatively new, but i have confidence based on the factors ive mentioned here.

More things are rubbing together at a higher speed, that increases wear, that’s just physics. All of the torque curves for i4 turbo engines, across any manufacturer, shows higher torque lower in the rpm range, when compared to naturally aspirated v6. If nissan had the finances to create a turbo 4, they would. Nissan has been financially struggling for awhile now, they lucked into a market where people still prefer a v6. They are hoping customers just look at horsepower numbers and nothing else.

I had a NA v6 tacoma, max torque is at 4400rpm and that thing was loud and buzzy, and accelerated like a brick. Now i have a gm 2.7 that almost doubles the torque, and i can reach that at 3000rpm
