    The Many Charging Options with a Cybertruck

    OP hasn't been back? Looks to be a big change coming in Cybertruck buyer demographics. :rolleyes:

    Ex army trucks - Are they worth it?

    If you are a person who has the ability and facilities to deal with one of those, you'd know it already.

    Lexus GX550 Overtrail vs. Grenadier or new Toyota Land Cruiser?

    Yep, an old Tacoma is a more realistic choice for most. (y)

    Maybe New LR4 Owner??

    The "long trip family adventure" requirement would have me looking at much newer vehicles with more readily available service. Lots of stuff that's OK solo isn't OK for families.

    19k miles with OME/ Dakar suspension for 2015 Frontier

    I've pondered why the payload is so low on Frontiers. My 22 SV is only 1160# and IIRC there are new Pathfinders with higher payload.:rolleyes:

    Differences Sequoia / Land Cruiser 200 last model Generation

    AFAIK, the Sequoia is based on the Tundra and has little in common with the Land Cruiser. Don't know if this is still the case with the newest ones.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    If you don't have an electric site you'll appreciate the gas furnace! We love Big Bend and like to stay at the Chisos Basin campground. We had the Casita out last week, up on the Cumberland Plateau in TN, and temps dropped to low 40s. The heat strips worked well.

    RV & Camper Prices vs Inflation

    Nope. "Agreeing to disagree" is what happens when people draw different conclusions from the same facts.

    RV & Camper Prices vs Inflation

    Wrong again. Avg price for gas hasn't been below $2/gallon since about 2004. Eggs are $3/dozen. Try to keep up.

    RV & Camper Prices vs Inflation

    This is incorrect. Fuel costs have not doubled. Gas now costs about 50 cents a gallon more than pre-pandemic. Prices dropped early in the pandemic due to low demand, then took a jump when Russia invaded Ukraine. At any rate, prices vary with the global cost of oil and no president or...

    RV & Camper Prices vs Inflation

    Whac-a-Mole. It's hard to not feel a responsibility.

    RV & Camper Prices vs Inflation

    You have a unique perspective and I doubt any further discussion will change it. Hope you are keeping your family pets indoors.:rolleyes:

    RV & Camper Prices vs Inflation

    Economists seem to agree that the majority of Pandemic-era inflation was caused initially by supply chain shortages and energy cost shocks, followed by price increases in food and transportation. This was not unique to the US. In retrospect, it seems we coped with the Pandemic and its fallout...

    RV & Camper Prices vs Inflation

    We're probably stuck with the 20% inflation from COVID, hard to see anyone actually lowering prices. On the other hand, inflation is down to about 2.5% and the economy is strong by all measures. There are over 7 million dead from COVID and it could have been much worse. It's unfortunate we...

    Toyota Losing it's Mojo?

    I choose to be optimistic. The tariffs aren't here yet, we still have a choice!

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Reminds me of the multiple threads started by the fellow who was trying to decide between waiting for the new LC or buying a new Lexus. After several months of jawing, ended up with a 10 year old beater Taco. :rolleyes:

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    I agree that a small trailer would be a good choice over using an expe rig as a daily driver. I recently went from full size to mid size and I honestly don't see any advantage to mid beyond initial cost. Only a couple of mpg difference, much smaller fuel tank and the interior space of a full...
