Abstract Ocean already sells a set of add-on buttons that is based on the OBD port. They work pretty much instantly and can be stuck anywhere. I wonder why they didn’t opt to go with a similar solution in this case, rather than through an app, which would have a delay.

Nothing says American truck like Chinese tires.

This ad is a scam. Pictures are from a vehicle from Michigan that sold on BaT in 2021 for $15,750.

Even for “overlanders” roof top tents are stupid.  I camp more than most, including “overlanding” and I have yet to hear one valid reason why anyone would want a RTT over a regular tent on the ground. 

they dont make a more expensive porsche branded one?

Porsche Branded Rooftop tent. Looks like a roofnest with a new shell and a 100% markup

I hear a flapping sound, which is the seller running up the white flag on his project. ND.

Thinking the same. The GX is probably my favourite SUV and I totally missed out on buying one when they were affordable. At the time, I wanted something body on frame and it absolutely had to have a manual transmission. So I bought an Xterra. No complaints, I love that truck, but now that I have a fun manual summer

Now playing

As a fair weather Dakar fan I definitely got less interested after the top Audis crashed, but needed to stop in and leave this wallride in the comments.

Gotta be honest with you - A GX470 being a first car and the least memorable is pretty bougie and sounds more like an operator problem than a car problem. It’s a rear bias AWD V8 wagon with a good stereo that can hold all your friends or all your crap.

GM would round out the body. slap about 600lbs of needless tech and plastic cladding, lower it a bit, and sell it as some blazer spinoff. Oh and not touch the power department. Then when the sales of the overweight and no longer off-road focused mess tank, they will blame some oversight board that worked on window

I want it so much.  I already have 2 off-road vehicles but i sure would love to drive around something so willfully cheery...and something where the parts are about 1/3rd the price of the big ones.

I feel like we know the government doesn’t have proof of the existence of aliens. If they had, I don’t think our previous pres would have been able to shut up about it.

The mind-numbingly obvious solution to our vexing problem of living in the United States where the Jimny is forbidden fruit and Suzuki is the company that bitterly took all its toys and went home is ...

This should be a captive import and sold by Chevrolet, just like they did 20 years ago with other Suzuki products.

Effort noted but too bad that Jalopnik only started to report on the Dakar because of this accident...

Their only engine option for their mid-range truck requires premium fuel? Is that the correct? Or can the regular non-high output variant run on regular? Cursory google search shows this engine requiring premium only in all variants of it so I don’t really understand why anyone would buy this now. 

Those of us who live in snow regions should have our own thread about the least suitable vehicles we have ever seen plowing snow. I once saw a Honda Ridgeline with a full size plow, not just one of those mini plows they sell for homeowner use. I don’t know what the owner did to make that unibody light truck accept a

The stiff ticket penalty makes speeding un-fjord-able. 

Oh hells yeah, that’s a pretty coffin. NP.
