    Thoughts for an Overlander in today's market? Suggestions?

    I have a 2022 Frontier that I use to pull a small Casita travel trailer. In the midst of COVID I found myself needing a new tow vehicle and Frontiers were actually available. The pluses are a strong naturally aspirated V6, comfortable cabin and a useful tow mode. Negatives are low payload and...

    Wife needs car: Highlander vs. 4Runner vs Sequoia vs Landcruiser, rough differences info?

    I think it will be awhile before you can just go to a dealer and pick out a new 4Runner or LC.

    Will the Honda/Nissan Possible Merger Save the Frontier and/or Titan?

    They have said the brands will retain their separate identities. If they prune Nissan my guess is some of the overlapping small "clown" SUVs. IIRC Nissan said they were going to use the Titan factory space in MS for some other product. Titan is done and gone. Frontier seems different enough...

    Better Buy Your New Rig Before the Tariffs Kick In 🤑

    Jane, my point was that current 2-3% inflation isn't "runaway" but some stupid policy could change that in a hurry. Hopefully better minds will prevail.

    Shell Cost

    There are Lookie Lous in every forum. On a positive note, I think one of the most annoying here recently gathered all his threads and went home. (y)

    What's your camper weigh?

    It's probably easier to find the right truck for the camper than the other way around. If you post which campers you are considering folks could point you to an appropriate truck.

    Better Buy Your New Rig Before the Tariffs Kick In 🤑

    $2.53/gal today here in TN. Google says that's about 31 cents in 1970 money.

    Better Buy Your New Rig Before the Tariffs Kick In 🤑

    The bright side is that having zero kids is the best thing anyone can do from an environmental perspective. You can drive a big diesel every day for several lifetimes and still come out ahead on your footprint. (y)

    Better Buy Your New Rig Before the Tariffs Kick In 🤑

    As disappointing as it is that so many fell for the notion of tariffs as a quick fix, the real money guys understand. I doubt this will go beyond posturing dog whistles, smoke and mirrors. There will be some face saving, then business as usual. Our economy is the best in the world by far, the...

    25 F150 Tremor vs 25 Tundra Crewmax TRD?

    A regular F150 with the FX4 would be a lot easier to find than a Tremor and a good compromise of towing and off road capabilities. Another option would be the Silverado Trail Boss. Titans were nice but are done and gone.

    Modern diesel for overland travel?

    Why the duplicate thread? Seems your concerns about DEF were put to rest in the previous one.

    Is e-Bike Trailer Living Feasible for Full-Time Adventuring?

    Yes. OP if you wait until someone markets an ebike with the range needed you may age out, even with a motor.;) Best to just tough it out on regular bikes or move on to a more realistic adventure.
