I moved here from Canada about a year and a half ago, and to say it was a culture shock, specifically related to the cars, is an understatement. Probably a full 25-35% of the cars I see on a regular basis here would get pulled off of the road for missing body work, inoperable lights, a million other things, and they…

I came here to provide Memphis content if any hadn’t been yet. I am not disappointed. You could set up a lawn chair at Shelby and Lamar and spot two dozen like these or worse an hour. 

A box of kittens.

It what plants crave! 

I agree except for Ford had made the decision to axe all of these models in North America long before the pandemic was a thing.

You can currently get the full time 4WD in the 4Runner with the Limited trim, I don’t see them stopping that for the 6th gen. 

AV Club has disappeared off the ticker at the top with no notice. I assume they got sold and had their staff railroaded just like Deadspin? I hope your resume is up to date! 

I know its the wrong gen for what you posted, but check out the MST MKI and MKII escort restomods. Classified as brand new vehicles.

I assume that just like deadspin, it just......won’t exist as a linkable website one day. Deadspin the site itself seems to be the exact same, its just not linked to any of the other pages anymore. 

“and only the most sociopathic actors in society find employment as car salespeople”

I would assume they meant Frontier and had a brain-fart. 

my thoughts exactly

When I was upgrading the skid plate on mine the biggest factor in the one I picked was a little access window for oil changes. The OEM Pro one needs to be fully dropped to change the oil. It’s not an insane amount of work, but more than I want it to be. 

I am convinced that the 4.0 in my 4Runner will outlast the heat death of the universe. 

Ahh the old Pope John Paul II treatment

a debilitating stroke would be a lot more fun than a heart attack

What would be really crazy is if one of the Big Three, Ford for example, replaced the V8 as the main engine in their trucks with a turbo 6!!!! Can you imagine the pandemonium that would create?!?!?!

I am quite fond of our three-car garage. 2018 F-Type V6 RWD, 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-road, and a 2023 Audi A4 Allroad. Those three vehicles cover 100% of the automotive needs that could ever arise for us. If it has to be narrowed down to two, just pick whichever you like more of the wagon and the Runner.
