To answer your question, no a Bronco Sport in any trim is not an appropriate vehicle for this trail. Could and experienced driver navigate one down this trail? Sure. And the switchbacks where all these articles take place are past the challenging obstacles (Assuming you aren’t driving the trail backwards), a small…

As others have said, nice soft springs for offroad ride comfort and flex don’t make for great payload figures. That said Toyota in general seems to be pretty conservative with its measurements. The LX570 is rated for 1,385lbs of payload... I may or may not have loaded well over 2,000lbs of rubber gym flooring in one…

Sure, but I am in the area frequently for work and have lots of family and friends there. While there are people out and about even when its 105+ many people do a whole lot of indoor or poolside activities much of the year compared to other places. That said it is a pretty active community in general, there is…

I am sure they will rent the units but this would make sense in a place with more mild weather. You can’t be outside for more than 30 seconds for half the year, that doesn’t seem to invoke trendy walkable community.

As someone actually considering a smaller 4 door EV for our daily run around vehicle I have been pretty keen on this but man the color palette inside and out is a bummer. In my youth a went for restrained colors, maybe I wanted to appear mature. Now that my grey hair does that job for me I am looking for something a…

This is pretty spot on. And a huge factor in pushing me to leave CO, where I grew up. Still love the state, just not as interested in dying in traffic trying to explore it anymore.

I am probably the target demographic for this. Wife and I both work from home. Our only car is an LX570, it nails all our comfort, utility, offroad and kid/gear/dog hauling needs but its thirsty. Most of my driving is under 10 miles round trip, something like this make a lot of sense if we were to add a second car to…

I enjoy seeing all the new cars coming out and reading reviews and head to head comparisons, but this is the first new sports car in a long time that I have said Yep. That has to be in my garage. Will be my first Z car. Never really been a Nissan guy, but damn. 

We sold our house and RV’d for a year during the pandemic. We already had everything in motion (We had already bought a 2016 Itasca Solei Class A, gutted it and started a remodel and put our house on the market) when the pandemic hit. Decided to just stay the course and go for it. Ended up being an amazing experience.…

Does the estate R come with a manual option? If not I’d give up the extra cargo space to row my own any day.

I am torn on this one. Generally I am in the less laws and restrictions camp. I saw this trend in my year of RV travels starting in AL and hitting peak concentration in Florida. Ran into a guy at the gas station in a squatted Chevy Silverado who started chatting me up about my 2020 Chevy Silverado Dually and said he…

Really like these in Texas and they make a lot of sense. Every now and then I would overshoot an exit just to enjoy the giant sweeping U-Turn haha

My biggest gripe is GM’s seeming inability to not make a vehicle that is a mess of squeaks and rattles after 10,000 miles. I own a 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Dually - High Country trim with every option and after 14k all pavement miles I cannot drive the thing without the windows down or the music up because the…

I had a 2008 KLR650 that I clocked over 40k commuter and ADV miles on. Reliable until the air filter buzzed loose (Everything vibrates loose on these things, loctite is your best friend) during a week of desert and dune riding and it pulled some sand into the motor. Big bore kit later it ran another 20k miles until I…

I would be willing to bet Marriot has put more than a tiny bit of effort into evaluating shower heads and the fact all of their properties use Speakman says something...

I haven’t bought a new car in a while but found myself in need of a dually truck. It was a very weird experience and I assume banks must be throwing dealers nice kick backs on these crazy long car loans. Dealers basically treated me like a leper when I told them I wanted to pay cash, but would bend over backwards if I…

Buy my 2008 LX570! It already has a snorkel, a nice Prinsu rack for all your sweet overland gear and near new 34" Falken AT3Ws. Also it’s likely the only LX570 you’ll find setup to flat tow behind a motorhome!

Oh how the mighty have fallen! If you have spent any seat time in a 200 Series you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Is anyone else deeply upset that this thing is named the California and you can’t buy one in the USA? I have some many wonderful childhood memories of driving around in my parents VW Vanagon Westfalia and I as the father of two tiny humans I would love to buy one of these. 

You are referring to beadlocks, but that is not what this is. A beadlock secures the bead of the tire onto the rim, it does not obstruct the sidewall. Off road you generally want as much sidewall protruding from the wheel as possible as it protects the wheel from damage and offroad the sidewall is used actively for…
