i think Jose mostly told us he didn't know much about suspension. I'm not sure he told us anything about the tundra.

4Runner. It’s basically a minivan.
If charging gets closer to refuel times, sure 300 is fine. But as the world exist now, 300 is not always enough. Especially outside of the coastal cities. For me it’s fine for a second car that I’d use locally. Not enough for road trips because of charge rates and locations. But... 40 miles is also enough for local…
Hahaha!
Depends on the conditions. Snow means so many things and it varies so much between light cold high elevation powder to sierra cement to packed snow. For deep snow, low ground pressure is best by far. That’s obvious because every deep snow vehicle ends up the same in that respect. Big tires, low pressure, flotation.…
The original reason was to allow hot gas to escape the pads. Pads are no longer made the same and don’t produce the same gasses. So the holes don’t really do much. The surface area increase is negligible. That’s why they’re generally not used in actual racing anymore. But they’re popular for looking like race cars.
The obvious is VERY obvious. The claims are not credible. The theories about it are not consistent with reality. There’s no need to go looking for ghosts where none exist. But conspiracy theorists gonna theorize about conspiracies.
You can see my comment above explaining the physics of why the 4x4 stops faster. But it’s not 4x4 specific - It’s mechanically linked tires. The same principle applies to a Subaru as long as a Subaru is not the BRZ. It would not apply to something like a RAV4 that has a clutched rear if the clutch is disengaged. But…
I thought the same thing. Was better looking on paper. But I haven't driven one yet. So I'm still withholding judgement.
Out of curiosity, have you ever ridden in one? They are supremely comfortable. I would suggest they’re far more comfortable than most sports cars for most daily driving uses. Practical? Maybe not so much. But comfortable? Absolutely.
I don’t think that that is a demonstrable fact. You can look at death per registered vehicle year. I don’t think the results are what you think they are... (No data on the bronco yet, but the Wrangler is better than any category of sports car)
There were independent tests at that time. A 2010 Camry SE V6 under normal braking stops from 60 to 0 and 119.9 ft. A Camry under wide open throttle stops from 60 to 0 in 129 feet.
Let’s pretend that the conspiracy theory is indeed real -
It stopped because it never really started. Just like Audi and GM. Average age of the drivers who claimed it happened was about 70. The range of reported age was 60-92. It stopped being reported because the psychological bandwagon effect ended.
If it was a software or hardware problem explain the two following:
I do when I’m near the max load capacity. Towing a heavy 5th wheel for example I’ll put the tires up to 80psi. Or I guess trailer tires are usually run at max. Otherwise I’m not sure why or when someone would do it on purpose.
The one that always concerns me is the 4500 mile 6 month old used car. That one requires a very good explanation to me.
It’s jalopnik. Facts are not really important. Clickbait sells ads.
But they didn't mess up. The system uses parallel sensors with different voltages and different frequency pass filters. The sensor input has to be verified by the ECU before it will apply throttle. The engineers who design these systems aren't stupid. They already sorted this out. The unintended acceleration can't…
It’s been disproven many times. Toyota’s system is parallel sensors and it’s not a system that can be effected by rf. It really was the drivers. Just like Audi. It’s just idiots like this author who keep perpetuating the myth. Those cars are still all out there. But magically it’s resolved?? (It never existed). And…
