Pretty sure it’s made by Uhaul, but I’d have to look. Have towed many things over the years it’s an accurate representation of what happens when you are towing something close to max tow rating and trailer weight is center to back, and not on the hitch.

And it’s a good thing too... otherwise:

Indian is still working from a “nowhere else to go but up” position in the market fueled by the overwhelming continued popularity of Polaris SxS quads.  They’re doing a good job, but they’re far from “printing money”.

Hey now, the Topper is a classic.

Just for shits n’ giggles, Toyota should just slap front and rear solid axles on these bad boys again. I bet sales would DOUBLE (lol) in the US just because of the market separation it would create.

Far less than 200k+ sales a year will keep the Wrangler solid axle ad infinitum. There are a solid number of consumers who want honest off road capable SUVs, and the Wrangler and 4runner are both selling rather well because of it.

No G-Shock love?
Everyone who wears watches should have at least 1 G-Shock.  Just sayin’, any retro 5600 will get the job done for when you don’t want to destroy something nicer.

Waayyyy back in middle school, I started to take a mandatory keyboarding class, but a move necessitated a change of schools to one that didn’t offer any kind of typing education... consequently I never advanced beyond very slow hunt and peck. This haunted me through college and professionally for years.

Every party needs a pooper.

(It’s you.  You’re the pooper.)

SST is the best racing going. They didn’t come to St. Pete (home) this year (or last) and I was/am super bummed about it.

Times Square. Well, that’s a bummer. If your parent can afford rent there, can’t you guys like have a remote office someplace decent for, well, driving?

Well, just like leather, all fabrics aren’t created equal either. I don’t deny the inherent durability of quality leather, nor do I dislike it. Quite the contrary. My riding jacket, leather.  In my house, my sofas are good full grain leather, and it’s awesome. My briefcase? It’s the heaviest leather ever and will

I’m in FL, so I feel your pain.

Also unfortunately very true. 

Agreed. I’m so over the leather seats in most cars now. Very few are decent uncoated full grain, and that’s really the only leather (IMHO) that doesn’t feel artificial. Some top grains are well done too, but I rarely find one. Vanson’s Competition Leather comes to mind for a good top grain.  Quality leather requires

The Olds love these things.

Us enthusiasts... we don’t matter here.

4runners, Wranglers and Tacomas you just buy new. The savings buying used for these 3 in particular is just too minimal to justify.

Of note, all 3 are legit off-road ready, are essentially archaic and sell well. Coincidence?

Interestingly, I’ve owned all three at different points since 2011, and they’ve all been great

V4's generally sound excellent and are still found in Motorcycles: RIP Motus, and Honda, Ducati and Aprilia immediately come to mind.

Anyway, they’re great and a giant pain in the ass to service all at the same time.

Yeah, the 4r sales lift has been pretty well documented over the last couple of years, and it has been of note because of what you’ve looked up. The 5th Gen sold well when launched, tailed off, had a face lift and sales picked up again, and then over the last few years, just kind of took off. Considering just what the
