I thought it was pretty common in industry that -EX meant explosion proof?

2022 Colorado ZR2 diesel - The emissions system is potentially a ticking time bomb, and just one little thing can cause a massive headache.  So far, at 40k I’ve only had one issue, a Nox sensor went out around 16k miles and was covered under warranty with a short trip to the dealer.  Otherwise it’s been a great little…

This was my 2 car solution for a bit:

I’d recommend reading the actual C&D article, not this poorly non-proofread version.  158mph was the average speed up the climbing esses, not the whole track.

Author misread it, 158mph was the average speed up the climbing esses. Here’s the quote from the actual C&D article:

Sheesh, you’re unhinged man.  Settle down.

Love it, although not quite as much as the C5-R with the 7 liter pushrod engine.

So, the Landcruiser starts around $5k more than the Rubicon and Sasquatch, yet lacks a front locker and swaybar disco, and yet is somehow the ‘cheapest and most capable’? It also looks like the base LC comes with pretty highway oriented tires, so add another $2k or so to match the rubber than comes with the Jeep and…

I’ve got a buddy who’s the used car manager at a large dealer. They had a customer trade in a $50k Telluride.. that they owed $74k on.  I wonder how long they’ve been rolling negative equity into their loans?  I didn’t even think about buying a new vehicle until I had saved for a big enough down payment that I’d never…

Struck a nerve, eh?  I know plenty about the VQ40, having driving an Xterra for 9 years and somewhere over 150k miles.  It’s a great engine, but peak torque at 4k is not exactly ‘truckish’.  Plus, it wasn’t designed from the ground up.  VQ40 is just a stroked VQ35.  You know, the Altima engine?

I’m all for technical advancement but good god those things are ugly.

Yeah, I’m happy with my extended cab / 6' 2" bed setup. Just enough space in the cab to put stuff I want locked or dry and enough bed length to get my moto in and still close the tailgate.  Sucks that Chevy dropped the extended cab option on the new Colorado / Canyons.

Those guys who get all in a tiff about a turbo 4 (designed for a truck) in a truck, but are somehow ok with an NA V6 designed for a passenger car being in a truck.

Ah, I thought you meant Camissa had some shady shit come out.

Drove an Xterra through 9 or 10 MN winters and switched to an extended cab Colorado about 1.5 years ago.  Winter ‘22-23 was one of our top 10 for snow, and initially I thought about throwing some sand bags in the back but never got around to it and never felt the need to anyways.  

Same here. It’s a shame as he did some decent stuff with Hagerty but I just can’t bring myself to watch it anymore.

Same here.  Not only did they overpay, by the time the car made it down to the Maneheim auction it ended up with scratches on the trunk and curbed wheels.  Only had one barely noticeable door ding prior to that..

Neutral:

Generally I’ve found that the diesel pumps on the same island as gas pumps will have the passenger nozzles. If there’s a separate diesel island and diesel pumps mixed in with the gas, the separate island will have the high flow nozzles.

Ah, there’s the qualifiers. So “just about everything” means similar AWD vehicles in it’s class?
