No manual transmission option. But that’s happening everywhere.

If you’re only looking at ground clearance in the specs, that’s limited by the axles. If you look at either overall height, or height to load floor, they’re 3.2” apart. (The specs don’t list height to rocker panel)

Using an XLT crew cab short bed:
2wd: Height, Overall (in) 78.3
4wd:…

Looking at the link below, it looks like the difference is 3.3 inches for the F250 super duty, which is what I had before my Tacoma. “Same trim” might change things, and with the relative market share, it wouldn’t be surprising for specs to converge on the 4wd default.

I wish 4wd trucks were available at the same ride height as 2wd trucks. I’m not an off-roader, but I do want 4wd for snow and slippery boat ramps. But to get 4wd, I have to take the awkward height and worse handling.

Oakley’s? Those are on the back of my head. I’ll use my safety squints.

So my 2015 Tacoma 4d manual was $29K brand new on the lot, and this one is worth almost the same after 15 years? I guess Oregon doesn’t salt their roads, but I’d still check for frame rot.
This has low miles, and a more reasonable right height, but the market is dominated by 4x4 4 doors, so if you’re not that, you’re…

The one on my Tacoma hit on the way into the parking garage at work, and my storage lift at home. I don’t use radio though, so I’ve been fine with it removed.

The median person may or may not be “dumb” by some unavoidably subjective measure, and half (+/- 1) are worse.

WDKYMYB was the best book I read last year.

Or your A/C runs low on refrigerant and needs to be refilled, without them actually bothering to find the leak. That happened with my Tacoma, and I complained enough that the dealer ate the cost, but I was told it was not a warranty item.

Reports are that Obama also said the sky was blue, and you shouldn’t look directly into the sun.

My mother drove one of these for 15 years or so, to about 200K miles. It seemed pretty reliable, and this one looks better than hers, almost certainly due to being garage kept.

“non-contact patches” if the trailer is on its side.

That’s exactly what that benefit did: sold thousands of escalades.

Were they all driving semi trucks? That’s the “no interstate” constraint.

Interestingly, it looks like the FMCSA is already investigating this, based on military experience:

It will be interesting to see what the move from ICE to EV does to jeep. Will battery technology improve enough to overcome the aerodynamics of a garden shed riding on 33 inch lugged tires? A motor per wheel could be the hot ticket for offroading, with the foot “throttle” for total thrust, and joystick for torque…

They can drive class 8 trucks now, just not across state lines. That seems to be a somewhat arbitrary constraint.
