Yes, and here is the outcome of the last three vehicles we rented (Chevy Tahoe or equivalent). Background: The vehicle needed to take five people and a big dog and all their gear, food, supplies, etc. 300 miles to an off-the-grid family cabin. The last 10 miles of the route is off-road (gravel, dirt, rock, clay, mud) w…

Can’t wait for the danger to manifold version:

Or someone who sees the potential of a 2018 Ford.

So much this. Maybe in the future, it will be an option for better outward visibility?

Did you see the article on Rivians on the TFT by Motor Trend? Worth a read.

True. I wish I had our family’s dark red 1993 Accord EX with a five speed back.

True that!

Also, what’s this mean? Disappointing to not see a profile of a 1946-1964 Willys Wagon:

Waiting for the off-road capable plug-in three row SUV...
