I disagree*. Buying more truck than you need is foolish. You aren’t impressing anyone by DD’ing a full size truck back and forth from your job in middle management.

UH HELLO

You’re better off just fixing the Honda.  /thread

Keep the Element.

Having moved from an Element to a Wrangler, I fully support this message. But damn, do I love that Wrangler.

Didn’t that guy with the 3 million mile Volvo do multiple engine replacements?

Cost of engine replacement is far less than the cost of a different car.

The math says 333,333 miles average out of an engine, which would seem to beat buying an entirely new car to get ~200k miles out of it.

Why are you here?

What the fuck does “moderately severe” mean?

Seems to me the HOA has written a rule that cannot be followed due to its lack of clarity.

Where I’m at in North Georgia, you’d be hard pressed to find a neighborhood in any semi-populated area that doesn’t have one.

That is fairly easy :

That’s probably about par for the course.

Truthfully, I would rather have a high-mileage example than something with less than 1,000 miles on it.

Could it be Rivian instead? They already said they are running F-150s as test beds. 

Too slow?!? It’s a damned truck! I bought my new ‘17 Ram 4x4 crew cab 1500 ecodiesel for $33k and some change almost exactly a year ago. Which I do more ‘heavy duty’ work with (slowly, safely, and correctly mind you) than 97% of the 3/4-1 ton heavy duty truck owning public.

Really? My ‘96 Sierra is equipped with a 5.7L Vortec that puts out 250 HP and 320 ft-lbs torque. It gets up and goes decently. Even with the increase in size of the vehicle since then, the economy of this 3.0L is compelling.

Not the biggest fan of Chevy but I like this, after all, has there ever been a bad inline-6?

With all that torque and the fact that it’s a pickup truck, who the hell cares about speed. Towing capacity and using this thing as a commuter/work truck. 

Currently looking at flights to Phoenix.
