    Why I switched from a Tacoma to an F150

    27 yrs of Toyota’s. I grew up with Dodge’s and Fords. Both were used hard and kept for 20+ yrs. Shoot my little brother got Grandpa’s short bed Step side Top hand to drive in HS. Toyota guys will need to Google that lol. I switched back to Ford in 2016 when my wife needed a C level sedan...

    Minimum EV Range Requirement for Touring Western U.S.

    This only just became a common thing during COVID. Given most EV only owners fly when traveling more than a few hours. But COVID pretty much shut that down and sent EV owners into road trip mode by the 1000’s. So for example the primary routes from the west coast to Colorado ( major destination...

    Who's lining up to buy a 2023 Sequoia and NOT a 2022 Tundra?

    I found it interesting Ford started offering the 3rd row as a option not standard in 2021. I suspect trying to cut cost/ sticker price and on their side reduction in parts sourcing challenges. Vs in 2020 and earlier you could only get 3rd row expeditions. however!! The way the bumper line and...

    Minimum EV Range Requirement for Touring Western U.S.

    Not only that but add crowds lined up for a slow charge! Imagine pulling into a very busy gas station and each car is nursing a slow pump for 40 minutes ?‍♂️. This is pretty typical now on major routes during classic get alway weeks.

    The system logic in all theses new vehicles can easily track variables and self select the needed power application needed. But customers will always pay more for perceived “more stuff” over less stuff. Great example is the current freak out by Toyota shoppers when they see now AWD badge or...

    The old Sequoia is the slowest selling vehicle Toyota has. Our local dealers won’t even stock them because they can’t sell them.

    19v custom camper battery... will a MPPT charge it?

    Then do that. But why setup a strange 19v system then manipulate stuff designed for 12//24v?

    19v custom camper battery... will a MPPT charge it?

    I would even suggest a standard office upc the computer gets plugged into, then just plug the upc into a basic 12v / inverter setup. Why get silly custom building stuff when theres cheap and reliable stuff easily sourced off the shelf. The upc will do its job of voltage control so the expensive...

    Rivian R1T (pickup) vs. R1S (SUV) for "overlanding"

    Funny I went through this but kept the EV/Hybrid plan for the commuter. I had a super nice low mile J80 only did a couple of “longer” trips where its 11-12mpg mileage both impacted range issues in a big way, and fuel cost was a big enough negative that my other car at the time Subaru Outback...

    Minimum EV Range Requirement for Touring Western U.S.

    Your in Colorado? Look up the front range EV charger drama that took place spring break 2021. Covid sent a large number of EV owners into a drive instead of fly mode. Front range EV chargers were absolutely CRUSHED by a huge number of EVs passing thru from in state and out of state. Talking...

    Who's lining up to buy a 2023 Sequoia and NOT a 2022 Tundra?

    Not a friction G80 Its an electric push button locker. In these big SUVs the number one reason they get stuck is due to no rear locker. Got my Sequoia stuck several times all due to that. G80 is pretty good when you got nuthin and are stuck while a clapped out rust bucket Suburban goes right by you?

    Who's lining up to buy a 2023 Sequoia and NOT a 2022 Tundra?

    Which case the old GM altrack and the Ford A4 systems see way way way more miles in regions like yours than the few Full time rigs that exist. The only difference today will be the selectable rigs will get far superior mileage when conditions are not AWD conditions and they’ll drive better too...

    Who's lining up to buy a 2023 Sequoia and NOT a 2022 Tundra?

    As for pricing? I laugh at the $60,000 price comments. The old as dirt badly outdated Sequoia sells for 60. No way your getting a new 4x4 Turbo 10spd Sequoia for 60k. Especially considering Toyota dealers are bending buyers over the finance desk for basic Highlanders tacking on huge dealer price...

    Who's lining up to buy a 2023 Sequoia and NOT a 2022 Tundra?

    You do realize that old school full time AWD vs modern AWD are dramatically different in regards to system logic that keeps modern vehicles pointed in a desired direction when all hell breaks loose. Todays selectable 2wh, 4hi, 4lo and part time AWD is just a modern more efficient option over old...

    Who's lining up to buy a 2023 Sequoia and NOT a 2022 Tundra?

    Even as a 3rd row user I haul kids to vball practice and tournaments 2-3 days a week. The fold in floor 3rd row eats up about 8 inches of floor to roof height in the rear cargo area. Vs the old removable 3rd row you have a considerably larger rear gate opening and floor to roof height. Its the...

    For sure badly needed as I sit here vacuuming out my Expedition which replaced my Sequoia. 2019 Toyota had absolutely nothing worth looking at for a new purchase. Used yes! New no!! I love the Expedition awesome rig! Especially my HD fully loaded one. All stuff that I hated about my Sequoia...

    Potential downsize. Tundra vs Ram 1500

    The F150 has a heavy payload pack. It’s basically a F150 on a F250 frame. If your looking to go light camper ie 4wheel camper and towing but want to stay 1/2 ton ride quality and friendlyness its the only option. Also gets a fuel tank the other 1/2 tons don’t get. Only option I would look at if...

    Power Needed to Drag a Trailer Through the Backcountry

    The issue with all dealer sold stuff right now is the huge price gouging. Hell even Ford CEO commented about it. If your shopping trailers skip all the dealer stuff. Go direct sales.
