This is great, but still disappointing. I have a 2004MY Duramax LB7 that gets roughly 21 MPG highway and it's a 4x4. I am going to assume that all of the extra provisions that had to be made to clean up the exhaust is what trashed the economy of the diesels after that year. Although, it is awesome to see this diesel…

Wow. I was really hoping to get ACC in the next car that I bought. I spend too much time on the freeway with people shifting back and forth between 5 below and 5 above the speed limit. Your comment is kind of dissuading me from getting it though.

Its a minivan though. Anything you would tow with this could be towed behind a bike mount that has a towing extension.

That could make sense. Although, now that I look at this picture a bit more, it makes less and less sense.

And it's not even a Bronco. I wouldn't expect it to buck that much.

How does one even get their truck to jump that much? That is insane.

Actually, your comment about the Tacoma is spot on. That would be a pretty bad ass machine. A lot of the people I know that have built-up off-road machines have shifted over to the Tacoma as of late. They are smaller and more fuel efficient, and since my friends don't off road that often, it works out better as a DD.…

They roll coal stock? VW is making bro trucks that you can buy off the lot.

The two most common reasons I have heard are that they make good height markers, and it makes that front windshield a lot cheaper to replace. I have actually used my antenna has a height marker when I realized I probably shouldn't be entering a parking structure.

"Oh, I see you are stuck and in my way, let me just come and lift your car to traction. Now I can drive my car out of the rut it is in and back onto the road."

If I remember correctly, the problem is because of the way CAFE is written. Cars in the US have to meet a certain MPG requirement based upon their wheelbase, not based upon the intended capability. So the car manufacturers actually can't drop the same engine into a smaller truck, as the size difference wouldn't make…

"Computers are killing the automotive hobby!" Car geeks say this with defeatist disdain; tech nerds utter it with futurist superiority. Thing is, they're both wrong. Virtual reality and wearable tech could very well save hobbyist mechanics from becoming the 21st century's horseshoe installers.

I should have some pictures from a couple years back of when my father dropped one of his truck's wheels into the lake. I am not sure if the pictures have the recovery, but I'll be sure to post the pics along with the story.

Does it matter? You don't have to drop her off in it; You just have it sitting in your driveway when he comes over to pick her up for the first time.

Stiff suspension so the truck doesn't sag when loaded, combined with a weak frame. In Toyota's defense, this was a test that all of the pickups were failing (except for whichever company decided to pay for this test of course) a couple years back. They will catch up soon if they haven't already. I haven't found any…

I love this feature. I wish more vehicles had them.

I drive an '07 4Runner pretty often. They hadn't really figured it out by then, but it isn't so bad once you get going. When you just start from a stop though, you can smell it all pouring into the vehicle.

What on earth are those?

You mean the fact that the cab is separated from the bed?

No. No. No. No. No.
