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.

MAJOR outliers - but the EcoBoosts have major outliers too, I honestly think some people just drive Turbo engines in boost often, but 10 MPG is laughable, my 3/4 T Ram w/6.4 Hemi gets better than that loaded for a weekend of camping/moto in the mountains.

Hard to believe - it's a 3.X L twin turbo, and based on everything I've read it's gets sim mileage to other 3.X L Turbo engines like the EcoBoost, which is mid teens. The Tundra gets mid/high teens, I'd expect the Sequoia and GX would be in same ballpark: *Edit - looks like the Sequoia has...

I screwed up, I was thinking Tacoma, but the 4runner still comes with the 4.0L but the Tacoma comes with a 3.5L V6....that is what I was referencing. It may share - I've never been convinced it's nearly as easy as people make it out to be, there are some minor differences in lots of things. I...

If you have access to a Troopy - that is the logical choice to me - where are you located? Looking at Toms cruiser - it's big, not really sure how much you are giving up with something like that vs a domestic (assuming you are in the US) with a smaller camper or even a pop-top camper...

Does a modern 4runner have good parts access? I don't know how much it's a global vehicle these days, is the 3.5L engine used in S America?

I thought they still used the H55 with the 1HZ is some models....maybe I am thinking H150/151?

It was a dealer in Oregon, near Portland I believe, I was at an offsite event not sure exactly where they are located. I hear from a lot of people its "overbuilt" but honestly, until I see specs I'm going to be side eyeing those claims....not right or wrong, just want to see and understand for...

I got to crawl around one a bit this past weekend, I was asking quite a few technical questions to the sales person and it left quite a bit to be desired, great guy but not very informed. It looks like they have full float axles, a type of hybrid design, but not entirely sure, anybody know for...

So all new 70's have that smaller TD and auto....are they phasing out the 1HZ / H55 combo? Lots of plastic under that hood for a 70....

Just thought it was funny about all the comments, not that it matters, but I guess folks that know know, when I first read Baja 1000 I was like there is no frickin' way, that is not a knock to IG but simply me be familiar enough with the course to know how difficult it would be with any stock...

I remember when the KTM 500 EXCF's first came out - high performance race bike, won't hold up, delicate, unreliable and here we are 10+ years later and guys are riding them around the world. It's like people NEED to fill their lives with torment and anxiety - my person belief is in this...

It's also a sliver of folks that have problems vs the hundreds of them out there without problems....info via forums is always a very vocal group of folks with issues I've found. There been a few times I've chatted to seasoned folks in the "real world" and mentioned issues or concerns I've read...

Figured you had access to rigs and could of looked at what the actual Payload was which is always hard to do online because it's always absolute max, I think the 2500's max are 4000 lbs + and the 3500's are 6000 lbs +

What is Payload capacity?

Picked up a clean 2000 XR400, full refresh (bearings, suspension, carb and all OEM stuff), trail work bike. I've owned XR's in the past - this thing starts up first kick hot or cold, go figure, I've never had an XR start this easy....maybe it was the carb rebuild.
