From what I remember the Taco has better ground clearance, approach, and departure angles. It wins on paper so it would be interesting to see how that transfers to trail use.

I want to see what the Tacoma can get through that stops the Nissan!

What is that seaplane in the second picture?

Oh, and a version with f/r lockers please. They should really make a "Raptor-esque" version to get people to take them seriously. Give it long travel suspension front and rear, lockers, a little extra power, wider fenders, a stock winch mount up front and people will start to take it seriously.

I doubt this will happen, but... Selectable 4WD with low range, >9in ground clearance with good approach/departure angles (quickly removable aero pieces are OK by me), ~30mpg highway. Rate it to tow ~5,000lbs and I'd be a happy camper.

Anti open gun ownership at least

Give me a slightly more aero design, aluminum body, 9spd auto and an efficient direct injected v6 while keeping the rubicons f/r lockers and I'll be a happy camper. Really want a dd-able rubicon for my next car.

Wow so much IKEA hate. My apartment is almost fully furnished with their stuff. They have crappy particle board stuff but they also have some of the cheapest solid wood furniture I could find. Almost everything I've bought from them has been cleverly designed and fairly robust.

Ford really needs to bring the Ranger over. In the numbers game I'd pick it no question...

Yeah but that picture is the 11ft 777 fan vs the 6ft 737 fan! The A350's nacelle also looks massive next to the 737's.

132in on the GE9X vs 118in fan diameter on the Trent XWB, not much difference! and the Trent produces almost as much thrust (99.5k vs 97k lbs)

I bought my car based purely on math/cost/logic, I did spreadsheets for days, and now I have to remind myself that I made the smarter decision every time I see the cars that I wanted but decided not to buy due to the math.

Goodrich / UTC Aerospace in Southern California. The nexcelle o-duct definitely raised some eyebrows but it will be interesting to see how it works in the real world when you have to make repairs on the tarmac. From the limited information I've seen they gave up some ease of access to critical components for less

Tesla's in-house towing service for broken cars:

I'm always a little sad that these articles never mention the nacelle technologies that make the efficiency of these engines possible. The A320neo is mainly updated wings, nacelles, and engines that come together to meet the fuel efficiency demands.

I think the i3 was made to test bicycle tires on a production car.

I bought my new car with ~$4k rebates and 60 months 0% financing in May (on a $30k car) and $1500 down. Will be making minimum payments and I have the money saved invested. Way better than paying cash outright!

Does anyone make an AWD minivan with some ground clearance?

How hard is it to get un-stuck? Tow points front and rear? Any way to lift it if it bottoms out in sand?

I was just using MapsEngineLite yesterday to plot out vacation spots for a friend!
