Nail on the head with the “ford and Chevy” thing. It’s not that theyre BAD per se, just not on the same level as Toyota reliability wise. You have to avoid the 05,06,07,08 model year Frontiers and Xterras because of frequent problems with the radiator leaking coolant into the transmission, wiping out the trans and…

The latest gen Xterra is honestly not holding up to the test of time. They have a lot of reliability issues, if you want a rugged SUV and can’t stand the thought of a Stellantis product, you’re just better off with a 4 runner. Which is a shame, because Xterras have a charm and a character to them that 4 runners dont. …

Dead nuts on the Gladiator. They’ve so far proven to be reliable as a hammer, theyre dropping into the $30k range for good clean used ones, you have all the advantages and utility, resale even, of a Tacoma, with the added bonus of top down, doors off fun. 

I’m going with the eco-friendly option here, let’s do Barney Rubble’s log car!

PREACH

They’re plastic and metal now, since 2018. If you want full metal ones,  they can be had for somewhere around $50 online.

I am so completely hyped to watch this team run.

What needs to be talked about, however, is this “Payload” rating itself. A lot of people dont account for passenger weight. 3 of my buddies and I regularly use a crew cab truck to transport us all, plus dogs, a haul box, and guns, or a trailer with a few quads on it, etc. Both of the most common uses for this…

I almost included it! I’d put it just behind the hardbody. They can wheel!

2 cars, and 2 offroaders that get 15 mpg tops.

It’s worth it. GMT400s are no longer regular traffic. People like me (In my early 30s) grew up riding around in these, maybe took our drivers tests in these, had one in high school, etc. Now, we’re riding that nostalgia wave, and we’d do just about anything to have an old truck with the simplicity, small size, good…

I was not prepared for how good that thing looks with the body kit and wheels. 

There’s alot more that goes into grass cutting than just “Every two weeks” Some grass can go 3 weeks before it even looks untidy, some yards will be overrun with pests and invasive, even bad, weeds in 2 weeks. I have about 4 acres that I mow, and I time it very much with whats healthiest for the bugs and critters.…

Piano Black plastic interior trim. Looks okay for the first 3 weeks of a vehicles existence, after that it is nothing but a magnet for dust and scratches. 

Hi, closeted Pan guy here. It just means you pretty much be physically or romantically attracted to anyone. It doesn’t mean HORNY FOR EVERYTHING, as everyone has “types” that their into, regardless of orientation.

The magazines and websites do a horrible job of explaining all that goes into the mileage on these. If someone accidentally left the E-save setting on “Battery charge” instead of “battery save” these things will go from 24 mpg running on gas to 18. If you leave it in Hybrid and slide the shifter over to Manual and…

Would be fun! It’s already the most “manual” hybrid out there though, you have so much control over every system and how it behaves that it honestly takes me a half hour of explaining and a follow up call every time i sell one, just so they can grasp everything these things can do. But I dont see a 3 pedal option…

If you’re close to Ohio I have a couple Grand Cherokee 4xes in white.

Click the “Power Wagon” package when building a tradesman (base) trim level.

As an owner of one, I can definitely say the 4XE Wrangler is amazing.
