God this spendthrift Eeyore bullshit is tiring.

Ford Expedition, because everytime I see one on the highway, it is usually passing me at 90-100 mph

I’d say my experience with 40V equipment has been similar to yours, but when I upgraded to 80V Snapper (Greenworks, Kobalt) it was a game changer. The mower, chainsaw, and trimmer all work far better than their gas counterparts did, plus no spillage in storage or hearing protection needed in use. Not even mentioning…

Look, it’s very important that you know that your room was once occupied by the legendary Trandoshan HVAC installer Chr’izz who was taking his wife on a cruise to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary, but had a horrible fight and he ended up leaving her for a 30 year-old Twilek Pazaak dealer and lost his company in…

I’m going to say none of them.

Full-size trucks is the correct answer. Sold in vast quantities on very long leases/finance deals to people who can’t afford to own, maintain, and fuel them. Today’s soccer mom minivan is the full-size pickup truck.

I agree. Besides the great MPGs, this is probably a prime driver of Toyota hybrids as taxi cabs. The transmissions are nigh-near indestructible. They have like, 20 moving parts, total. Compare that to the all the solenoids, brakes, gears, etc, in your typical stepped transmission and the eCVT is a thing of beauty.

As someone currently driving a 2017, it’s good at being a transportation device. It’s not fast, it’s not luxurious, nor is it good looking. What it does do well is get me from point A to point B without much fuss and great MPG. I leave mine on ECO mode because why not, it’s a Prius, why not get the best MPG I can. I…

I would not want to be on Ford’s marketing team. Maybe Tesla did the right thing by not having one.

Here ya go. The entire series debates off-roading on a budget vs breaking the bank.

Please do some stories on tread lightly and other ways to use and protect trails and access. Nubes can easily ruin it for those who are responsible users of outdoor resources.

Even before that, they need to do a series of articles on how to LEGALLY off-road/overland. Trails are getting closed down left and right where I am because a-holes are just tearing up private lands and creating trails where they don’t exist. You’re the exception based on your posts, but Jeep owners and side by side…

I’m only 6 ft 1" and the windshield header is directly in my line of sight. And close enough I feel like I could touch it with my tongue.

Same here. I’m 6'4" and my buddy in high school had a 90 something Miata. I could barely fit in the passenger seat, but made that work. However, getting into the driver seat just wasn’t going to happen.

For those saying that you can do it even if you’re tall, well sure you’re right. You CAN do it, but for me it steals…

Fuck off. I don’t owe anyone anything. 

Maybe the production truck will have tassels?

Buy a roof box for your xB. Done. Backup answer - any car with a roof box. Friends have camped with their two kids in their Prius with a roof box for 12 years.

I’ll take motorhomes over kids in sport-compacts or jackasses in brodozers any day of the week from a road hazard perspective.
