    We’ll good news the back in office movement is in full push mode now. Rural regions will see a exit of Urban dwellers moving back to the anonymous life of “ there’s people for that”. Urban people operate differently than rural people. Rural people are the “people for that” when someone gets...

On the flip Side my neighbor is a retired elevator tech. Owns multiple properties has rental income and other investments. He uses his...

    I have family members like that. The term Easy Come - Easy Go…. Is their financial plan motto. Paying big cash for a depreciating asset before you have any appreciating assets, tax write offs, market funds, maxed out 401k’s, Ira’s etc. Is the biggest reason we will continue to see homeless...

    I get what your saying I don’t see it being “political” I see it as a generational thing. By the way the term “Liberal” was used by Hitler’s best buddies to classify groups of people who were viewed as being a threat to their power. Its a term thats thrown around by people today who...

    More like 10 to 1. If it runs its course like the PWC thing we probably have another 5-6 yrs before regulation, enforcement and insurance temper the free for all behavior. Same sort of thing happened with the pwc. Went from the jet ski which took some learning and physical ability to 6yr olds...

    Yep Its easy to guess many of the SxS people are running on credit with $100k trucks pulling 100k toy haulers and 45k sxs with another 100k in bolt on mods. The huge trend definitely was driven by cheap money. Inflation numbers up again per today’s report. Rates need to be held in the 5-6...

    Are there no side by sides discussed here?

    Yup. Which is why they probably aren’t discussed much here. It one thing to own a car you modify to use on trail. Its a whole other thing when you buy a machine thats not street legal just to drive on trail sxs etc.

    The land version of the PWC. # of Deaths and serious injuries and number of calls for rescue off the charts. Turns a very capable tool in the scourge of the lands.

    MPG Numbers for 2024 Tacoma 2.4T No Hybrid

    Aliner is definitely more aero than that trailer. I bet the side boxes are 3mpg hit over the same trailer without them. Trailer owner has a built Jeep he tows with which is already at the bottom of the mileage bin without a trailer. Doubt the trailer impacts his mileage much with the jeep...

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    Even the efficient sedans are pretty much identical mileage to their non hybrid versions when just doing long highway trips. Its the stop and go city crawl where the hybrid really shows its strengths. The highway cruiser application your just hauling extra crap👍

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    The max Tow axle is that the same Tremor axle seat issue where the axle tubes on some were under sized or not setup up correctly and have dented from load weight?

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    I like the hybrid for city life / traffic and the 7500 watt power capacity. I’d sell my portable generator if I had that capability tagging along and available to power my house if needed. Does add complexity tho.. I haven’t heard too many complaints however. If your just doing long trips in it...

    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    I did the same tire evolution but I do think tires have dramatically improved over the last 15yrs. Running the modern BFG Trail Terrains so far best tire I’ve had on any of my awd/4x4’s regarding all around performance. Very little mileage impact, good pavement performance, great snow and wet...

    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    Stock 285’s on my 3.73 Expedition 70mph is 1400ish RPM. Rarely EVER see anything over 3000 even when hustling it up the mountain loaded. The 3.5 in the full sized rigs is definitely tuned for work truck type use lots of grunt at sub 3500 rpm.

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    Took a solid 1/2 tank of fresh higher octane before the power change was obvious. But yes there’s a pretty noticeable difference especially towing and the mid range power.

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    Ford was sorta using hp in their trim differences around 2019. For example my Platinum Expedition was listed at 400hp, the lower trims were sub 400 in the marketing papers. The Lincoln version was 450 etc. I noticed all the trims were pretty much 400 by 2023. 91 definitely changes the tune...

    BFG HD Terrains-any opinions?

    I put them on my Expedition about a month after they came out September 2021. Absolutely best tire I’ve had on any of my SUVs regarding road performance, minimal mileage impact and big improvement on traction over the car style low rolling resistance highway tires. Great in the snow!!! Great on...

    good theory as to how it missed the mark.

    Sounds like one Jeep owner at the gas pump 😆😆. If he had more time 20 problems would be 5x that
