The idea that food and water didn't make this list (granted, it was about prepping the car) is more than a little ridiculous.

Six months? With months of side-trips, sure. But as a single trip, itself, it's a comfortable week. Two weeks if you take smaller highways and "stop" often. Beyond that - you're filling whatever amount you choose with (non-driving) sights and activities.
Shouldn't this be number two?
A cross-country drive is stressful in and of itself. If you take the time to make sure your car isn't an additional source of worry, I can guarantee you'll have a much better time.
4.) Have Spare Parts Specific To Your Car

Annnnnnnnd still not getting my point.
Agreed. Except the idea of a 1/2 ton RWD pickup making a nice winter vehicle. In climates where it actually snows - a 90/10 front/rear weight distribution and rear wheel drive is just.... well, a poor choice. (And the "solution" of putting bricks or sand in the bed to help balance the distribution is wasteful,…
You still refuse to see my point.
Nice. I think brown exteriors also look good with a two-tone black and brown interior scheme.

Oddly enough, a lot of those luxury cars are 4 wheel drive...
Will it still have only 160hp? I think it's less "offroad", and more "equipped with a roof bin and some stickers."
I'll bet he'll be popular in prison.
