Cameron: we want a roomy two-row SUV with a little badge prestige for family use

The definition of “big guy” can vary wildly. Is he 6'1 205 or 6'6 340? or 5'10 340?

All the “rugged” Toyotas have bad front leg room. I couldn’t put my seat where I wanted it in a Land Cruiser with a child seat behind me.

4runner and taco are also super small front seating. The floor is so high.

Did someone just straight face recommend a defender to a big guy?  Have they never been in one?

Look at every release they've had in the last 10 years. New f150 issues, new explorer issues, new aviator issues... The bronco is not the outlier. Hopefully the others roll out better. 

Anything reliable with FWD and a set of decent snow tires.

Not just “preferably;” the 2nd gen was a foot longer, 600 pounds heavier, and needs a waiver to get into a small car argument. Killing the first generation after only three years was the biggest mistake I know of that Toyota has made.

I had 2. I often call it the perfect car.

The answer is 1st Gen Scion XB (aka Toyota Bb). Reliable, durable, and a lesson in space efficiency.

Scion XB is the answer (preferably the boxier gen 1). small, reliable, and a roomy interior.

Not sure what exactly the definition of Small is, but this thing was relatively small, but let me tell you this. We were able to fit me who was 6'2 at the time, my friend, his dad who was 6'5 and his friend in this thing, with all our snowboards and ski’s inside, and I still had room to stretch out in the back a bit.

Didn’t mean to hit them and run them over, definitely meant to harm them physically and emotionally. Also definitely meant to do it with an illegally modified vehicle. Hopefully it’s a stern lesson.

They might have a cult following, but they aren’t exactly a limited production rare item. There are over 1000 AWD models for sale right now on cars.com for example.

Why the fuck would you put an income cap on purchasing electric cars? You want people - including rich people - to buy as many of them as possible so they can scale up production and make cheaper ones (as well as creating a market in used EV cars that are more affordable down-stream).

This kid needs a baseball bat to the knees.

If you’re old enough/judged responsible enough to drive a vehicle on public roads, you’re old enough/responsible enough to face adult charges for vehicular crimes.

Since it’s a new Ford, I’d like to know what key piece of equipment will fail en masse first? 

Minivans. All of them.

Having their own infotainment sounds like a massive waste of time and money on Toyota’s part that no doubt is passed on to the consumer. maybe it is cheaper for them when they scale it up, but keeping things simpler could certainly help with a cost savings. also having the massive proprietary screen for a radio makes…
