My comment was in response to folks saying they want it here in the states. I did see full size pickups in Aus when I was there a few years back but I know they are prohibitively expensive.

Maybe it's me, but I don't get the point. Take a Ranger and put on HD springs, beef up drivetrain (axle, tcase, trans) and hopefully brakes? You still have a shorter wheelbase / light pickup. I think stepping up to a 250/350 makes a lot more sense... Numbers below in freedom units: Braked...

Dont get me started on bed height - I looked into lowering my 21' Ram 2500 so I could load my dirtbike easier. We had an older Chevy 2500 and Ford F150, I could push my moto up into bed and step up, both of which were lower than my 19' Ranger which was barely doable without a step stool....with...

We kinda have a Gren...we have an older X5 :) So it at least shares DNA with the Gren, it's been meh, fairly reliable over 100k, just little things that are annoying, we don't have a dealer nearby so need to drive 3+ hrs which is a major PITA which only gets worse with the Gren, pending where...

Was just watching the movie An Eye for An Eye (Chuck Norris) and on of the houses in the movie is right near there, I had to look it up since I recognized it and it's on Sea Cliff Ave. which looks to be where you are, or close to it. Nice pic.

You stuck on using 18's - you don't indicate if alternate wheel size is an option. 255/85 R17 is a great option for 17's, I have them on my Ram 2500 and are very nice overall.

I grew up in Crescent City - I know that area very well. Drive up the G-O Road next time you are in the area, neat history and a very pretty drive once you get up on top of the mountains. There is a really cool fire lookout up there on Red Mountain too...

literally special tests which are expert level trails that you can decide to do or not!: https://ridaho.info/the-grit-southern-loop/ "but it takes on 327 miles of rugged trail in the standard route, plus an additional ~223 miles of mostly advanced special test trails as options" ....and they...

Ridaho Grit 3 - 750 miles over 5 days of remote / rugged Idaho backcountry, 2 nights camping, lots of chainsawing and several special tests / black diamond expert trails.

Well in part because the exhaust stacks are way above the cab, the engine bay is further removed from the cab (at least in a non cab over design the manifold is not under the driver compartment) and more importantly diesel produces FAR less CO than a gas rig does by a huge margin, around ~20x less.

You are right, it is probably better than nothing but it doesn't mean its a good idea.

As @NOPEC points out - CO isn't to be messed with, small crack in window may not be enough....

Defeats the purpose the OP stated

It's never a good idea - more relevant for older rigs for sure, but I don't think it's good practice to sleep in running rig if (and it's a big if) there was any sort of exhaust leak. Very common on older rigs, not common in newer ones, but I'd say generally speaking it's not a wise choice all...

We got ours in a couple weeks ago and couldn't disagree more - I absolutely fell in love with the GX, ticked all the boxes for me. Great seated position, awesome visibility over hood and around sides (low "beltline" I think it's called) clean interior, drives great, smooth, quite, etc. Very...

Ok - dual rear tires is super cool, neat rig!

Yeah I corrected myself above about the 4L vs 3.5L....I'd think all the 2F's and 1HZ's would disagree the 1GR is the "most" reliable. Anything can and will fail and there is much more to a vehicle than the engine. My point was just because it uses the same general parts they very well may be...

I grew up just North of there, I've done a few bicycle trips down through the area, I think 3, it's pretty wild and out there. A big portion of zone used to be Old Growth redwoods, all logged out. Looks like you guys cut over to the East up around "Murder Mountain"....it's really pretty up...

Only 1 example of Fuelly...but it's something and it's right in line with where it should be IMO:

True - but @yfarm was basing his comment/purchase decision on abnormal driving conditions and nothing close to average, that was the point. If a small(ish) light SUV with 1/2 the displacement of my 3/4T Ram and 1/2 the weight is getting the same MPG or less....something is wrong.
