I disagree 100%. You finace to buy and lease to use. Two completely different ways to get a vehicle and for different reasons. I lease a 2019 Camay, in 3 years I will lease a 2022 something else, in three more years I will lease a 2025 something else... In 20 years I still plan on owning my...

My 01 TJ has NEVER given me problems other than a few that I created because of how I used it. I have an 04 Caviler that is like magic and even with about 230K has very few problems. My 2011 Acadia Denali was a constant problem. My family car is a leased 2019 Camry. In three years it turns...

You are comparing apples and oranges. I have had a Grand, 4Runner, Wrangler and a few different pickups for off-roading and camping / overlanding. All offer something different. Despite it lack of space FOR ME the Wrangler has been by far my favorite. I have for 18 years and have no plans to...

If I were looking at a new vehicle I would appreciate both positive and negative feedback. Information is a good thing. Otherwise why not just go to the manufacture webpage and rely on their commercials. Why even have forums like this?

I think it is a great idea.

I will STRONGLY disagree. I have ARBs and have played around with exactly what you are speaking about 4wd (even with open diffs) is far better than 2wd locked. You have a better chance of gaining traction when your wheels with power are further apart then next to each other. When climbing...

I hate tire spin, wears on tires, wears on the roads and trails and anybody or vehicle behind you. I run in 4wd much of the time when I am not on a paved road.

When I lived in SoCAL they were common. People would upgrade the suspension, flair out the fenders and but their spare tire in the bed of the truck. They could haul ass though the dessert, on dirt roads, trails, course or whatever. Speed and suspension travel was the goal, not traction. If...

I deal capabilities and requirements for a living so I'm probably over thinking this.

defining a trail vs. course vs a road could be an interesting discussion. I think of a course as something you do a particular activity in a certain way.

but like a race car their purpose built for particular activity. You could Overland on trails and Roads designed only for two wheel drive so I guess in that case that would be fine.

maybe it's semantics but I think of a race course and race vehicle something completely different.

Those are race vehicles designed for a specific course and class. They drive on a course which they are designed for not off roading.

I just got a new car. We will take road trips in it but not necessarily "overlanding". It has a nav system built into it. Is there any advantage to using this as compared to an app on my smart phone? The car is a 2019 Camry XLE. I had a Nav stem in my 2011 Acadia Denali that offered me less...

A 2wd off-road truck is pointless in any country. If used for off roading.

I would rather have 4wheel drive with my off-road package. Who would want an off-road truck that isn't 4wheel drive?

Not to long ago if you got an SUV with a frame it was a truck with more body on it. If you got a unibody SUV it would have more plastic skirting and fancy stuff. Now we have crossovers, basically big fat cars that a sit a little higher and have all wheel drive. They are nice and comfy but have...

When you have specific requiremnts it makes it hard. Vehicle are sold with packages, you can't really pic and choose options. It has been that way for a long time. The deal is easy if you have the info you need. Buying a new vehicle, when you don't really care or have specific requirements...

I really like your trailer. That ******** end does look heavy. Usually the rule (not sure whos rule) is 10 to 15% of the weight of the trailer. You are slightly over that but for off-road it may be better to spread out the load more. The trailer weight itself doesn't seem too bad. It looks like...

I am not saying people shouldn't do it if they want but with the discussion about longevity (and I would assume people want maintainability) and then squeezing a but load of power, esp with after market parts, out of a engine just don't seem to go hand in hand.
