Hey don’t forget the $10,000 dealer markup requirement because they need to talk to buyers on the sales floor😆. 55k is not what they’ll be selling em for I can promise you that.

I thought the ducks were some sort of Only fan thing with stay at home moms. Like 4 ducks means Thursday the house is empty paying customers welcome to follow home?

You probably looked too wealthy 😆😆 No seriously Nissan has suffered a serious black eye from its corporate management disaster lost a bunch of dealers and higher end buyers. They literally are the low man on the credit score vehicle seller right now. Getting rid of the horrific CVT in their...

I suspect it’s Marketing, at one point not today but in the past battery availability was also a factor. Most brands have quite plugin hybrids completely they are more $ to make and more complex but offer the best of both worlds when done well. Mercedes dumped plugin hybrids however they were...

They run the 10spd over there now also. Its possible the Australian frame got reworked also.

As a former J80 owner they are old now and most are basically mechanic required ownership. Parts are challenging to find. Nissan Frontier is a screaming deal Nissan is begging people to buy their stuff. They sell their cars to the worst credit rated people. Mazda makes great light duty...

Pretty sure crash metrics for US standards resulted in a frame design change seen at the back of the cab on all pickups. They are designed to bend right at the cab/bed location on the frame. SUVs / Wagon bodies on full frames can’t flex or bend till your behind the 2nd row seats again crash...

The non plugin hybrid thing is pretty pointless. You get penalized with weight and complexity but can’t EV mode around town. As mentioned the power boost feature by Ford is pretty damn useful for power tool needs, backup power to the house, rv etc. But 7yrs with a plugin hybrid Ford Fusion has...

Q5 with different branding? Like say a 4runner with different branding? 😆

I have raced sailboats at Whisky Town many times in May. Have been there when the wicked late season storms have come in and kicked winds up in the 50’s. I know that exact spot you parked and have moved out across to the far side away from those pines twice!! One did come down clipped a pickup...

8000 lbs is nutz. Floor must be concrete tile over 1000lbs of leveling compound 😆😆.

Wow nice height in the garage! Thats my pet peeve at all my places friggin low rafter setup zero room. I can’t run yakima bars on my stock Expedition the stock bars literally rub the door gasket when I garage it at my current place. Still shopping on my end the one very small area we are looking...

The cheap day rental utility trailer is a better deal, my Subaru Legacy did many home project / renovations towing a $20 rental trailer. It did lots of dirt road camping and biking trips too. I switched it to a Outback 11yrs later and honestly the Legacy was better in every way should have kept it.

Still too far for a commute. Money spent on getting there and back plus the hours of your life spent sitting in a car blehh.

It was an easy assumption with 120 mile commute and wanting a super cheap do everything vehicle. Even in 1997 my poor man budget was 10k. HS kids today have budgets in that range 😆.

120 mile commute and only 6-8k budget? Don’t want to sound like a jerk but my financial advisor would blow a gasket and lecture me on getting my priorities sorted out starting with I can’t afford anything outside of a old corolla with as low of cost ownership and best mileage possible. If you...

Have a standard September 2019 Platinum heavy tow zero issues. It got the phaser software tweak at 15,000 no issues at 50k. I had big plans also but after getting rid of the horrible stock tires at 13,000 miles which were seriously bad even with plenty of tread. The all new BFG Trail Terrain was...

We had an awd one in the family for many yrs. I’d consider a fwd one for the mileage and crazy low cost of maintenance etc. Toss some good tires on it and go. If you actually need AWD? It was garbage plus no spare tire not worth it. My dad dumped it after getting stranded the second time with a...

Neighbor stows them on the side of their Mercedes 4x4 van for short trips. Longer higher speed highway trips they strap them to the inside roof. They travel with 5 usually and have a mid height van with pop top. Full rear box system hanging off the back with bike trays on the box top. They use...

The new hybrid one posts pretty solid 40mpg averages for a couple of friends but those are FWD only. Regardless pretty amazing mileage for a pavement rig with that much payload/ volume to play with. 2017 Yellowstone trip we stayed in one location for 9 days. We had a new neighbor every night...
