My sleek long /narrow ski box was a 1mph hit at 70+ road trips. My 18ft canoe was 2-3mpg hit on the roof. Nakid empty 4x6 at rear window sill height 900lbs was 18-21mpg. Towed great just had to manage rear sag / weight if I wanted any ground clearance.

Your trailer is like mine but probably way less weight. Mine is built to haul a atv 900lbs empty. Yours looks lighter. The 3.6 5spd runs the Nissan 5spd it’s pretty bulletproof but my Expedition at 400hp gets better mileage than the 3.6 on the 5spd. My OB was typically 20-21mpg summers in town...

The 2010-2012 had the old EJ and first gen cvt. I had a 2010 the EJ was finally pretty bulletproof the new 2.5 suffered pretty serious issues till late 2015. Some of the 2010-12’z got junk Torque converters that locked up and dumped debris into the cvt and junked the cvt. The 2015’s got a...

13.3 is the battery not the panel ?‍♂️.

911 is a nice rig. Drove my neighbors Cayman 6spd manual and the 911 felt huge and heavy in comparison. Absolutely loved the Cayman!! But grandpa ie the vehicle buyer at that time was 6ft 2 and couldn’t handle manual ?. Settled on the loaded SLK350 which has been a fun car. But definitely not! A...

The new reality of modern power.

Once you have a side by side thats your trail rig. The truck will have highway long miles comfort, payload/space priority. Which case no doubt full sized is better than mid sized. Also if your going side by side soon your likely going to be happier with stock stuff on the Full sized. If your...

Most developed countries do not take in as many people as the US. Again thats not a direct cause its a factor. The HS kid that started a legitimate hauling business in my town is competing with people who often don’t even hold a legal drivers license and are dumping debri and trash on our county...

Its a double sided coin to some extent. If you have crime issues you need to shut it down fast or it just grows bigger under the pretense look we can do it and nothing happens. The other side of the coin is yes addressing the leading indicators ie factors that drive people to go that path...

In urban areas the gun is like catnip or waving around cash for all to see. Ooh free gun if I can take it. There are so many people walking/driving around looking for stuff to take most with some level of mental disability that makes their logic hard for any normal sane person to grasp. If you...

Re offending criminals vs differences in countries is a fascinating data point. Especially when you correlate the basic GOV assistance. You will find far lower re offenders and in general lower basic criminal activity in countries with high levels of public assistance via gov programs. Basically...

I do think the opportunistic crime once thought of as only a “city” thing have plenty of cases/examples outside the city today. As I explained to a new neighbor. The criminals have Google maps now too?. Even if your in a small town suburb working in your front yard your in a exposed easily seen...

Just as a bunk bed idea example using vertical slot C track. Look up the Ember 191 msl it’s basically their traditional bunk house travel trailer that they incorporated customer suggestions for better more flexible bunk / space use. They basically just put vertical C channel on the walls and put...

Ic I recall a faulty harness in the L3 but can’t recall if that was pre 2011. Also the Rover and Merc SUVs for a while liked putting various electric units on the floor under the front seats. It only takes one switch or plug to short and cause a cascading effect of other impacted systems

Yep!! That tent rig did a 3200 mile 12 day trip to Yellowstone and a 2900 mile 11 day multi NP trip Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyon Lands, North GC. Yellowstone we had one night to/from where we roomed it due to no reasonably decent place worth camping ie setting up for a few hours...

If your handy….. Its fixable A friend picked up a brand new auction Mazda Miata for a huge discount a few yrs ago. Huge list of multiple dealer history trying to fix a electrical issue. Took him 30 minutes to figure out the reverse switch on the manual shifter was shorting out the dash display...

I have found the kids factor can definitely change how you look at these trailers with lots of moving parts and setup items. Ie time involved setting up/tearing down?. Most definitely the biggest reason dads dump complex setup/tear down rigs after a few trips. So keep that high on your usability...

That was cool vehicle but I was really disappointed in its size.

Yeah and they all strip em empty to dune race??.
