Because a perfect circle is one with teeth sending power to the rear wheels. 3.14:1!!!
I’m not talking about the Sierra Cosworth. That Sierra had a much more stout 3.64 LSD rear gear. Nope, I’m talking about the most plebeian of Sierras, where forbidden fruit meets rotten tomatoes.
But, hey, at least it could still hustle around a track to exciting cocaine-fueled, big hair, commercial techno.

- Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh *Why would anyone buy this* when the 2025 RamCharger is right around the corner, *faster* with vastly *better mpg* and stupid amounts of torque using a proven engine layout and motivation drive in use since 1920.
- Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh I hate this soooooooo much. but the 2025 RAMCHARGER is the CORRECT bridge for people to go electric. I hate dodge (thanks for making me buy 2 replacement 46RH's) .. but the ramcharger's electric drive layout is *vastly* superior to a full electric car in dense populous areas where charging is difficult and where moron luddite science hating trumpers sabotage charges or block them.If Toyota had a tundra in the same config i'd plop 75k cash down today and burn my pos chevy in the dealer parking lot
- Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh I own my house 100% paid for at age 52. the answer is still NO.-28k (realistically) would take 8 years to offset my gas truck even with its constant repair bills (thanks chevy)-Still takes too long to charge UNTIL solidsate batteries are a thing and 80% in 15 minutes becomes a reality (for ME anyways, i get others are willing to wait)For the rest of the market, especially people in dense cityscape, apartments dens rentals it just isnt feasible yet IMO.
- ToolGuy I do like the fuel economy of a 6-cylinder engine. 😉
- Carson D I'd go with the RAV4. It will last forever, and someone will pay you for it if you ever lose your survival instincts.

3.14? 3.64? Those are some seriously loafy gears for a car that size. Did the engine redline at 5000 or something?
If we stick with this being PI day we can celebrate by eating pie. What would we do for differential day?
