Perfect answer if it’s possible for them. An older 4-6 cyl. Toyota may fit the bill also just for the fuel efficiency aspect. But many newer trucks with the base engine/fuel efficient option, can be near SUV levels in my experience. So it may net be as good as an advantage it had previous decades.

I’m really tired of people treating a car fax like it’s the be all end all of knowing the condition of a car. It’s far from it. And on older/custom/rare/off road orientated it matters even less or at all!! Please let anyone you ever discuss this topic with know that a qualified set of eyes on the car means more than…

As far a the actual vehicle is concerned and not safety, fluids are by far the most important aspect of car maintenance to keep up on. Filters go hand in hand with that as well as low interval maintenance items like plugs/ bearings. But really if you drive a basic level, or older (15+ years) vehicle keeping the fluids…

It is, as far as I know, the rarest with the AMG designed 6.2l M156 V8. Maybe that’s what you meant?

Lol, sorry not even close to the rarest. Maybe if you’re speaking post merger when it’s Mercedes owned.

I've never understood why others use 4Low in these conditions? I never have, but I'd love to know what the majority's reasons are for doing this? Please enlighten 

Or really any other country! I’m in Thailand currently and just watched last night as an ambulance scrapped a tourist that was going way to fast on their scooter off the pavement in a Toyota Hilux. That’s like a Colorado size truck.

Sorry no, fitting 39" tires on almost anything legally and functionally, let alone a midsize crossover, unibody, EV, is definitely not something you would find even an average custom shop, let alone an at home mechanic doing themselves. Putting them on a 3/4 pickup properly requires major parts and skills. Speaking…

Or when they say “Remember that flood we had 6 months ago? Well this little (insert small car here) went through all like 2" of water no problem for days!" This is not a selling point. You might as well say it's been a total loss or something. It most likely has water damage of some kind like in the trans or even…

When they say " oh and it still starts fine at -40° without being plugged in" and this is something with non synthetic oil as well. Like that's a good thing!? Morons it's not a selling point to tell the buyer(s) you've neglected and abused your engine like that. 

My MB W220 chassis S500 does this. They use a cable attached under the seat. Gets pulled in one of the forward or backwards (I can’t remember which) movements. I know this as one side didn’t move and I wanted to fix it, and led to this discovery of the cable had simply come off or didn’t get hooked back up after…

Some great Japanese (including motorcycle) inline 6 engines. That’s not going to be disputed by many here. But other than those Japan jem’s already listed here’s a few great ones.

I wholeheartedly agree, no one buying this needs any lower/middle class tax dollars helping them be “environmentally friendly” 😒 or one upping the Jones’s. I’ve never been behind that stupidity in Canada or the USA.

I already was doing this also so I agree with your idea. Plus usually a dedicated parts car on top of it!

Just wanted to put in my professional opinion on that statement (red seal licensed tech, and custom builder of cars). Of course I don’t have the details to say you are wrong so of course I won’t. But here is a few reasons I usually am heavily suggesting a reduced mileage (I don’t even put a time restriction on oil…

No different here. All new vehicles get an owner’s manual as well as everything else (tire warranty, service book, infotainment manual and so on) so he probably like the vast majority didn’t even flip through a single page figuring that a $70000 machine was child’s play and no instruction was nessesary.

I’m with you mostly, and it wouldn’t hurt to have a auto and manual trans to go with it also. And of course a rear output for AWD. But alas it’s never going to happen. Most companies can’t even use the same oil filter on the same engines over different years! (except MB, not sure of any others). It’s absolutely…

I hate to be the one to bring the somewhat myths about the 3.8l being so reliable to a flasehood. I will say they are very good engines in many ways and most can/will easily surpass 186k miles (300k km’s up here) they do require some expensive repairs and can/will leave many stranded in their life span.
