I’ve driven the Everest extensively. I want the Everest here in the US.

CNCAP is an initiative by the Chinese government that have greatly improved the safety of domestic vehicles. They basically had to shame the manufacturers into safety by adopting EuroNCAP standards.

Broke a couple of parts off a new Land cruiser Prado last month. Yeesh.

I am in the minority in loving the Everest. Primarily because I’ve driven one. For the official record for Hertz, not offroad , not in 4WD low, and not with the rear lockers on.

Safer too.

If Trump killed all our crops because he heard from one of his buddies that plants crave electrolytes; I honestly would not be surprised.

Lol. New England is pretty flat

True, but FWD w/ M&S isn’t sufficient in my case - living in hilly area, and often travel to mountainous areas

I had a friend who did that for like 600-700/month. Put 40k miles a year on cars. had to re-sign every 3 months because the cars kept on getting recalled due to ridiculous miles.

I know one of the chief complaints was the lack of torque going to the rear wheels in the AWD.

My question has always to figure out how to get in on a Manheim auction.

Agreed. Baldy is the only la area ski lifts worth mentioning, otherwise its mammoth or some people go to June (highly underrated)

Tahoe snow isn’t a joke sometimes, especially in R3 conditions. That said, socal is pretty much a joke when it comes to chain restrictions, esp around big bear lake.

Best advice for living and visiting areas with restrictive regimes: Get a good vpn

Hey now, soft touch materials are important

Agreed. Learned that after being chauffeured around in China. Space is the true luxury

Ugh. Look at those trunk hinges. VW’s cheapening is a detriment to smuggling cash.

If you’re serious, shoot an email to the contacts on the page.

You (or we) should really go do this and try to film it for a segment. I would tag along and just flog the cars
