And there's absolutely nothing wrong with rear drums. Perfectly acceptable in a truck.

Nobody seems to care, and Toyota is laughing all the way to the bank. Drum brakes are quite a bit cheaper than disks.

And still worth $35k in 3 years.
And has 75% remaining brake life on those shoes.

Well, these all appear to be older 3.6 engines. The engine was updated in 2016 for the Colorado and 6th gen Camaro, then other new 3.6L vehicles after. No idea if the timing chain was "fixed" or not, but there were a number of "improvements" made to that engine. Curious if any 2016+ 3.6 engines are suffering these issues.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 1:09 am https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t3742_ds488432
Timing chain on the 3.6 good lord

@fled do you know when the 2021 start production ? I hear they are starting to coming in any week now...
I am trying to see if I can “order” aka get an allocation for a TRD pro but I have no idea for a time line.

I walked a couple laps of the parking lot and I really like how my looks.
A ZR2 would be ideal, and correct the little issues I have with my Z71, but that wasn’t in the cards a few years ago.

He did in general, not sure if it was specific to the new 3.6. GM put the old 3.6 in the first 2 years of Colorado/Canyon production.

The TC issues were with the new engine.

Im an advocate for drum brakes on the taco. I even supported adding them to the Colorado Work truck trims to pay for cooler shit on ZR2. All engineering tests prove that drum brakes perform just as well on the back of a pickup as disks since the fronts do even more work since there's so little weight on the rear.
Whatever. Clearly I and OEM engineers are morans.
