Tack weld, then work your way around the perimeter, welding an inch, move a foot, weld an inch, move a foot, etc.  Then your metal won't get too hot.

Honda is just a big tease. They’re all like, “look at all the cool stuff we can do”, but then they just sell you appliances.

I’ll take my glass roof in bronze, please. With full UV and IR blocking, please.

I think the thought (hope) is that these functional accessories, such as the lift, may come as oem on a future Trailsport package.

It’s actually one of the better vehicles on the beach. Air down to 15psi, put in Sand Mode and the AWD will take you more places than a typical 4wd, as long as you don’t get into ruts that are really deep. Besides dialing up throttle response and RWD bias, Sand Mode also acts as sort of a rear locker.

The best Hondas were late 90s, early 00s (other than some of their auto trans’ behind the V6 engines). Since then, two things have happened.

It also depends on conductivity of the water. More TDS (total dissolved solids) in the water means more conductivity. Typical tap water is pretty conductive. Saltwater is more conductive, but usually has a smaller field of power because it finds a ground very quickly, like a big hole in a bucket, whereas tap water is…

I’d like to see a RAV4 hybrid-based trucklet, but it might outsell the Taco. But Toyota could build both.

I dunno. Quite a few reports of the current Tacos having howling differentials.   Toyota should fix that.

Well, the bar for mid-size trucks is pretty darn low.  This was Nissan's best chance to be aspirational.

Hmmm, everybody thought the 2016 was a mid-cycle refresh. Not much has changed since 2004. I think their mid-cycle refresh was the power seat they finally got for the driver last year.

But... but... but, according to this article, Ford has all of the experience with building trucks. /s

For real world numbers, try Fuelly.

Why is it that no one will put a 1990 short-bed Ranger next to the Mav and compare them side-by-side, including specs and capabilities?

We used a motorcycle tire inner tube between the cab and cap on a full-size Chevy.  A bike inner tube would probably work on this little setup.

Used to be you’d get the stick in the base model. Now, it is an upscale option.

That Jackson Pollock camouflage is cool... 😎

I’d go with 2022 MX-30, since only 560 will be sold in the U.S., and California-only.  It will be a rare model in 50 years, and that will bring the $$$.  Maybe. Or not. It will be a different world, assuming it still exists.

On a side note:

This is the right take. Except with only 560 being available, chances of getting one are slim. You can sell pretty much 560 of ANYTHING of value, especially cars in today’s market.
