Sadly true of most vehicles.

My money is on... all of them, except may be the LR. They have a habit of random grenading.

Jackaroo has a deserved reputation as not being as tough. Independent suspension setups and a less reliable mill (petrol had lifter issues, diesel never really sold in numbers). Most have gone to meet their maker at this point.

Good luck with the sun beating down on you in 110F heat, or following the guy in front at 40MPH on a dirt road with the dust coating anything and everything.

The exported some. MSRP for base model? AUD42k. You could buy an 80 series landcruiser for around the same price - and a huge percentage of those cars are still on the road, some with ridiculous miles under the belt.

Because no one in Australia had a jeep in the 80s and 90s. They didn’t exist. I’d hazard a guess that any you see were imported.

100% behind this. When you consider that it’s marketed as “Not recommended” for towing in the USA, but is rated to tow 2,100kg in australia - damned near 4,500lb - you have to wonder what they’re achieving. Here’s the secret: Drive slower. Here’s the secret to towing 5tonne safely with an F250: Drive slower.

I bow to your ability to drink while sleeping.

I think we can all agree it’s not Orlove’s best work, but hey, it’s labour day sunday. Unlike yours truly, HE is working despite the hangover.

A lesser known brand, along with Chevronbay and Fjord.

Don’t you mean north? Everything I’ve seen (minimal, though) says built in Mexico for those models too.

Having owned a crown vic, the answer is that it’s so damned uncomfortable. You’re basically sitting on a cushioned bench and, if driving vigorously, sliding all over the damned face and getting motion sick. Is it more comfortable than a taurus? Yes. Is it a better high speed (ie, >50mph) vehicle than a taurus? No. An…

Who said anything about slowing to change lanes? Braking in traffic, look behind - there may be a steamroller coming up behind fast that you can avoid by cutting into the emergency lane. Done it more than once.

Would agree with the backup. So many major highways are two lane, and end up with two trucks abreast up hills, etc. Unless you’re making i45 3 lanes, banning trucks in the left and forcing them to use the middle to overtake only, you’ll have an issue. Better to electronically limit them to the a much higher speed…

That brand was normalized years ago.

I think it’s a lambo bro.

Welcome to a world where the 8th fastest individual with a penis identifies as female - and sets a new world record. For comparison, 8th finisher in the men’s ran 12 seconds faster than Caster. EIGHTH. He was 8 seconds faster than the women’s world record.

Not quite the point I was trying to make.

Higher taxes in the USA? Political suicide.
