+1 for the Maverick, and the rebirth of “small trucks” in general.  We have a ‘99 Tacoma that can do everything you need a vehicle to do.  It does nothing great, “good enough” as you said, but it does everything in a way that no other vehicle does.

People don’t hate the 3rd gen for what it was, but for the fact that it wasn’t what it should have been. What it should have been was an improvement, in every way, over the 2nd gen.

Your reply reeks of disregard for older people and those with health issues.

Being indifferent to reporters and letting his junior driver do all the talking.  Also something about alcohol consumption.

Awkward younger sister with big glasses you might enjoy some day when you’re out of your hooning phase:

Came here to say this, especially with the 3rd gen being so disappointing.

So when people fill the streets during a protest and keep other people from moving around...can we ban people from cities too?

I helped a buddy put sliders on his KDSS truck, routing the hydraulic lines under the frame just behind the driver front tire seems like a mistake. I think that happened because KDSS was added to the 4Runner in 2014, and not part of the initial 5th gen design. By comparison, the 200-series routes its KDSS lines within…

Yes, flu has a cost. That we had largely grown fine with, since it primarily impacted older people who had other health problems. Kinda sounds like covid in that regard.

Both Lewis and Max raced to a level last year to deserve a championship. One of them had to win it, it’s just a shame that for a number of reasons — the crash at Silverstone, the rain rules stupidity at Spa and of course the inconsistent implementation of rules at the final race — there was no definitive winner.

It’s crazy how well TRD Pro does, and now there’s a TRD Pro Land Cruiser and it’s not coming here.

And yet you can still pick up lightly used, off-lease Lexus GX’s for a fraction of what they sold for new. Search AutoTrader and CarGurus nationally, I don’t understand why anybody is buying 4Runners and FJs (which are wildly overpriced) to offroad when a ~20K mile GX can be had under $40K.

not to mention extending the pandemic

Not your fault, but this “comparison” is ridiculous.  A body-on-frame-with-a-transfer-case Jeep Wrangler against three unibody softroaders, none of them with real low range?  It would have been more correct to switch the Wrangler to the Renegade or Compass.

... but the video is of a Bugatti

I’ve owned and sold both a Tesla 3/Y, my next EV will likely be the Toyota BZ4X once we start hearing some of the technical details (primarily, battery management and driver aids).

You are largely right.

I live in Denver, Subarus are the biggest group at winter Cars&Coffee and during the summer months they clog the trailhead parking.
