    Wait, did not he actually save Nissan? or am I wrong?

    LR3 cracked dashboard thread

    Thanks for your response @DC DII Most of them I find on FB not so much on online car websites such as cars.com. 106-120 the mileage range on most of them.

    LR3 cracked dashboard thread

    Thanks @DC DII Did you drive a European model and then shipped it to the US? I am totally aware of the fact that it won't be a 90's 4Runner. What I don't want is a constant breakdown. Like you said I also want to keep it relatively long term, maybe about 6-8 years. Have you done any work on...

    LR3 cracked dashboard thread

    Hi guys, What can you tell me about the LR3? generally speaking, is it worth it? I live in CT and often see LR3 parked in the suburbs of NYC quite often. I am sure some of those people would like to sell it. 8K is my budget. I am/was going to get a Subaru Outback but I saw my buddies Lr3 and...

    Chevrolet Express / GMC Savana RWD Van Info thread (All years / 1500, 2500, 3500)

    It is really hard to find a GM with a passenger package while I found a few Fords with a similar package. As long it is reliable, relatively affordable and is ok for long distant driving I don't care about the brand. A church by me is selling their Econoline. That's what caught my curiosity...

    Chevrolet Express / GMC Savana RWD Van Info thread (All years / 1500, 2500, 3500)

    If you compare the GM Savana vans to the Ford Ecoline vans, how would they compare? Which one is better in terms of ride quality and overall realibility?

    Toyota Losing it's Mojo?

    So, what is the story here? Is the new 2.4 not enough engine for the new Tacoma or it has some mechanical flaws?

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Everyone I know who started in small trucks and later on had families had to move on to a half ton or to a 3/4 ton. When you factor how much stuff you need to carry in a relative comfort, plus safety you don't have a choice. Even a 1/2 ton might seem small. I know a guy who regrets not getting...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    In appropriate conditions (muddy, wet grass and snowy road), how long can you drive in 4h? Is it 500 miles? 1000? My classmate drove his Dodge Dakota from Buffalo NY to Cleavland OH in a snowstorm. He was on interstate and put the car 4h as soon as the blizzard started. The T-case gave up not...

    Why don't we see more Ford Ranger builds

    Cheaper to buy yes, but does it really have better room in the bac and better payload? One thing I like with Ford is that you can get a low trim still get a locker. You don't have to go to higher trims like Toyota or Nissan is making you. I would totally be fine with an XL or XLT with a...

    Transit vs Sprinter

    Yeah, I remember there supposed be a Trai version of the Transit. Do you know what happened?

    Diesel Tacoma

    Where does he live? Wouldn't we all love to send him flowers?

    Such limited 4x4 van choices with decent gas mileage (in the US)

    What has been expansive so far? The general ownership?

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    @jaywo Nissan Titan XD Pro-X. Comes with a locker and 2000lb payload. They are between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton. They are affordable yet simple and comfortable. @PirateMcGee has one. Check out his thread under Nissan.

    3.3l ford f150 vs 3.6l ram 1500, which would you rather own?

    Thanks. So, it's not necessarily a simple engine even though it's a pushrod engine. Complexity isn't always a bad thing, but it's worth keeping it in mind.
