That and labor cost. RVs are basically hand built. Cars not so much

Lol my Haul out is every 3-4 yrs and last time it was $300.

Must be a power boater ?

Haven’t lost money on a boat yet. My slip fee is part of my membership to my club. Only car that comes remotely close to my boats was my 93 LC I sold it for what I bought it for 8 yrs prior. ?

911? Wait 26ft? What is that S2? I’ve raced J/24’s, express 27’s 19-21knots. Schumacher 33 23 knots. Antrim 27 20knots. My old race boat Ultimate 20 12-16 knots. My wine barge Ericson 28 5.5 knots lol. SF to Oahu Olson 34. - 12-16knots. I’d like a seaquest 27 or a Pogo 30 for my last race...

Forrest River??

Yeah my neighbors who don’t hike, don’t ski, don’t do anything remotely adventurous all own North Face jackets they walk their dogs with in CA?. I grew up doing big back country stuff, started doing car based and boat based travel / adventure as an adult. Most of which is ocean based. Car...

? just a side note carfax data is pretty much junk. You can go to any yota dealer and have them print off or email your vehicle history even with service notes. My 1993 LC even had full system history. My 07 Sequoia had 30 pages. Can be really helpful in spotting issues etc. My dad has the 07...

Plus the EV hybrid tech matches the diesels easily with better reliability and lower maintenance cost. And i like diesels. But my last diesel is in my boat. 1986 Kubota?

High teens highway in F150? to get High teens in my 3.73 HD expedition I need to be doing 85-90mph or towing a trailer. The bronco is a rolling square brick has always got terrible mileage. When I took my uncle’s 85 ish 351 v8 bronco it did 6-8mpg with top cruise speed of 70ish. The modern...

Bronco towing ratings are likely more of a CG / stability factor rather than power and/or cooling related. A Explorer is going to be far far far more planted and stable than the Bronco.

As a side note. All dealers have been moving to remote hidden lots for inventory housing. To give the walk on buyer the false impression that availability is limited. The trend has continued to morph into the current scenario where dealers want you to “order” it but in reality they just go pull...

Speaking of Bronco got to sit in one finally! First impressions WAY WAY superior seating room over my buddies 4dr Rubie. That alone is a big bonus!!! I don’t feel like I’m jammed against the dash, and even pushed back for extra extra front space the rear passengers actually have leg room. Vs...

In my case the new Tahoe wasn’t available yet, the old tired prior generation the 5.3 wasn’t offered with the 10spd, local GMC dealers were absolutely not willing to deal period. I also wanted modern seating configuration with 2nd row bench. Locking rear diff and HD tow pack was the final nail...

Even the early 3.5’s that had some minor design issues are turning up with high miles in service vehicles. The current 3.5’s have quietly been tweaked to address turbo heat and a few other things. As for v8 vs the 3.5? Close friend got his 5.3 Tahoe off road z package a yr after I got my...

The more beat up the better!! Save the “I’m wealthy advertising” for the dinner parties with valet parking and security staff.

The other way to look at it. When you roll up in a rig that 99.999999% of the world can’t afford. You’ll need your own security force to keep the commoners from stripping it when your out hiking in your $500 boots lol. Thats why I spend money on property and try to fly under the radar on my...

Lol the new Honda Civic has a higher payload than the Tacoma

Yep Its an even bigger gap in the big wagons. My old Sequoia still in the family was real world 12-13mpg in town 14-16mpg road trips stock everything. Same driver, same use my 2019 Expedition Heavy tow pack 4x4 with locker does 14-16mpg in town and 20-22mpg road trips. Thats a big jump...

It can if you are trying to run at 70 with a giant trailer in tow lol. Thats why we call em eco or boost you don’t get both?
