    RTT on a trailer...Support?

    It's not the overhead webbing the keeps the tent from opening past horizontal. The bows the webbing are attached to would buckle if they were responsible for the load. It's actually the hinges and the base that interlock and "bottom out" against each other that are the primary thing keeping it...

    I sold my 2003 Tacoma a few years ago with ~200k miles for $15k. Granted it had some stuff done to it. ;) Tacomas hold their value better than almost anything else on the market.

    Yes, if resale value is one of your purchase considerations, Toyotas are hard to beat.

    Reliability is definitely part of the attraction to Toyota. One thing that is often overlooked in the current market is what Toyota has been incredibly successful at. That is that they have marketed in a way that is very attractive to younger buyers and have done it with "lifestyle". They have...

    That's quite humorous. Definitely not a test of any offroad capability, and wouldn't even have required 4wd, but in all honesty, 90% of the people that actually buy a new defender won't ever even push it that far, but just use the car as a status symbol to show their "rugged" lifestyle. ps...

    I agree. Especially for a truck that size, the larger the brakes the better. For most 4wd's (not crossover SUVs that are just awd cars) I think 18's should clear nearly all of the brake parts. I finally bumped up to 17's on my Cruiser from 16's because I couldn't find a good 37" tire to fit a...

    New LandCruisers typically have 18's. 4runners have an 18" option I believe but also offer a 17" wheel. Personally, I feel an 18" wheel is the largest wheel I'd be comfortable using, unless you get into the really large sizes of tires (like 42"+). Makes the wheel just too prone to damage...

    Have you noticed nobody is even paying attention to you anymore? I wonder why? I never said you should ship your vehicle anywhere. When I invited you to bring a vehicle and go for a ride I had no idea you were not in the US. Go back and read, once you said you'd have to ship your vehicle I...

    There's no "bro-off". Just requesting proof of any actual experience. Pics or it didn't happen. Without any you're nothing more than a keyboard warrior regurgitating stuff you read but know nothing about. Looking up the definition of "internet troll" would find you there as the definition...

    LOL. Still waiting for ANY example of actual experience to back up all of your so-called knowledge. But I know none is coming. Maybe if you saw and actually experienced the trails we travel over here you'd understand why we carry spares. Only trail I've actually carried the differential on...

    Again you have no reading comprehension. Haven't had any breakdowns. unless you call replacing a drive belt a breakdown. LOL

    In my opinion, even traveling with another vehicle it is good practice to carry spare parts etc. whether the vehicle is new or old. Traveling with more than one vehicle is always safer. A disabled rig can be left and you can get a ride out with the other vehicle (assuming they have room). But...

    yeah we concluded that the Prado/GX was included in the sales numbers. The US is NOT the market to look at for Land Cruiser sales. There is literally ZERO marketing dollars that get spent on US marketing for the Land Cruiser so it's not a surprise that the 200 Series sells in such small...

    Oh brother. I'm going to go back to ignoring you after this response. You make up your own definitions, your own criteria and even your own numbers. So you can continue to exist in your land of make-believe. That's not what you said. Go back and read. But it doesn't matter. You'll make up...

    Jaguar Land Rover has markets in 128 countries (But that includes the Jaguar brand). The Land Cruiser has markets in 170 countries. By any definition it is a "global vehicle". Noted your above inclusion of the Prado models. However, what you posted is just showing the overview of available...

    Can you verify that? It's entirely possible that it includes the Prado since it carries the Land Cruiser moniker, but I don't think the Prado would make up a majority of the sales. Still makes no difference. The LR numbers include ALL Land Rover vehicle models include ones like the Evoque and...

    Here's some numbers for you... Global sales for the Toyota Land Cruiser. Cumulatively since it's inception over 10 Million Land Cruisers have been sold. But let's talk more recently. 2013 showed ~400,000 Land Cruisers sold worldwide. 2014 saw 450,000 sold. 2018 was roughly 360,000 Land...
