Can I post this anonymously? Mine is actually the opposite. I’m a Land Cruiser guy. I bought my first 80 series in 2003 and instantly fell in love with it’s reliability, confidence inspiring capabilities, and ability to take my entire family and their car-seats anywhere. 16 years later and I have 3 Land Cruisers and…

They have a super cab with a 6' box. I think extended cabs are better than straight 2 doors. At least you’ve got a place to put your lunch box behind the seat. 

I did a little research a couple weeks ago about the size of the new Ranger vs. older F-150's and Rangers. The new Ranger is within an inch in most dimensions of some versions of a 1996 F-150. Overall length is significantly shorter though. I’m a nerd and documented it in a google sheet:

It’s sad when the facts aren’t nearly as interesting as the comments...

These people suggesting front wheel drive, low clearance cars have never been to the places you want to climb. Get a Subaru Forester with a $500 lift and offroad tires. It will take you 90% of the places the big 4WD’s will go, that you want to go and haul your gear. Well within your budget with reliable units starting…

It was pretending to be something it wasn’t. It was designed to look like an armored military vehicle when it was a soft GM POS with moderate capabilities, moderate comfort, and less than moderate reliability, just like the other GM vehicles of it’s era. It could have filled a niche, but you have to commit to be good…

I have a fond memory of leaning on the front clip of my 1984 Land Cruiser watching everything spin, and hum, and click, and whir. I was greasy, bloody knuckled, and there was a little gravel stuck in my shorts from crawling around underneath. My 9 year-old son was standing on the bumper, leaning in and listening and…

This is false. Silence makes us complicit in the death of the true off road vehicle. We must shake the tree until we receive the fruits of our whining and complaining. GIVE US A SOLID FRONT AXLE IN SOMETHING BESIDES A WRANGLER, DANGIT!! WE WANT GROUND CLEARANCE! AND ARTICULATION!! AND AFTERMARKET OPTIONS!!

If this were on the under carriage we might have a winner! Goodbye salt and mud!

Look, I discovered that Speed+Me is going to equal Death in a very short time. I really have no self discipline when it comes to the skinny pedal. Since discovering this I have turned to SUV’s. Old Land Cruisers to be specific. No risk of going over 90MPH and I’m not beating anyone off the line. BUT! I also discovered…

I’m not going to read all the comments to see if this is already covered. That’s why you get paid the big bucks, you can read them. Here’s what I want to know. It’s all based on what I perceive the target audience to be:

Ima just leave this here...looks like a ‘60-’63 Corvair, a little. I do like the Corvair styling.

Drop the judgement on the mom, you trolls. There can be a lot of unknown circumstances in a single mom’s life. Maybe the husband left her broke with nothing but the truck he bought before bankrupting the family. Maybe he died, leaving her without marketable skills. Being a single mom is a life full of hardship,…

Regarding finding cars with specific features: I’m right there with you. Ever try to find which cars have more than 5 seatbelts?

1980's: One of our Cement truck drivers in Milpitas, CA hit the wrong lever in the truck and filled a convertible with concrete. That was a bad day for many people.

I want low end torque. I’m about taking my vehicles offroad. Unless that turbo spools up when I’m in low gear I don’t know that I care. 

1995 - 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser. Great lines, great interior, great capabilities. It's a wagon, but it's so much more. I have owned 2 in the last 12 years, and I still park it where I can look at it from the window.

We were washing our 1995 Land Cruiser this way one weekend when the kids were little. My son, strapped in the middle of the second row, was laughing hysterically when a wave of muddy water gushed in through the sunroof like an ice bucket challenge, filling his open mouth and drenching him thoroughly. He nearly…

Haha! It was sometime in the 80's and I was driving a 1978 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, 5 speed, poop brown. My buddy was in the passenger seat and I had not yet experienced “too much speed” for a corner. I was mad about something and blowing off steam. I was doing (Wait...what’s the statute of limitations?)..let’s just…

The Nissan Leaf and Toyota Prius thought so.
