The Japanese-made trucks have gained a cultlike following, attracting small-business owners seeking affordable alternatives to traditional pickup trucks.

    I had a 2016 GMC Sierra. Cost $100 a week to take my son to daycare. Sold it and got a Sienna Hybrid and a classic truck for hauling shit. I hate all the technology in cars these days. My van tracks me and in the app it says “this feature can be disabled but the tracking will not stop” or to that affect. Garbage.

      After you traded your Sierra for a Sienna, did you take a Siesta?

      I too am fed up with all the data rape. Fuck off car companies, greedy assholes.
