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...

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?

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

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...

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...

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...

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

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

What has been expansive so far? The general ownership?

@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.

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.

Is this regarding the Ford V6 3.3?

Isn't the 3.6 Penstar has an advantage over the Ford V6 3.3 because of being a pushrod engine? My understanding was that the pushrod engines are more reliable, lighter and smaller too. Would love to hear more about this. Since when Ram puts lockers in their trucks?

No, it not just that although it contains those attributes. It's about inbuilt resilience that allows an X to withstand the time and changes. See Taleb's Skin in The Game.

Guys, do you know what Lindy Effect is? If X survives Y years, it can, statistically, survive twice as many later. If the IG survives 5 years it will survive 5 more years. And then maybe even 20 years and later 40 years... Longer it stays longer it will remain. In 5 years the Ineos will have...

The XD has 2100lb+ payload in the lower trim. I believe the S can have 2350lb. There is nothing like this among the crew cab, 6.5' bed, 4X4 trucks of the other manufactures. You still can find them on the dealer lots, though might not be for long.

Find the bird in the phot.

How is your season going fellas? I have been enjoying the woodcock season in NE. Here are there I pop those stupid pheasants too.

What is the number for towing? Yes, for Supercab that payload is not too uncommon. I might be wrong, but I can't name a crew cub with comparable payload

Congratulations! This is a slick looking truck. Is there difference between the riding and handling qualities between this one and the previous one? This is great! It is virtually imposable to find this payload among the crew cab 1500 trucks, including the Tundra.
