    Overland/cross country vehicle: Lexus RX400h Hybrid

    I ran these on my Subaru and then on my Sequoia and my Expedition will get a set. They are basically a hybrid tire more durable and bit more aggressive tread than a highway tire but not crazy heavy and over kill for typical graded road use. Tough tire by far my top favorite tire for needing...

    Overland/cross country vehicle: Lexus RX400h Hybrid

    All you can do is put decent tires on it. Don’t get crazy up sizing given the weakness is your gearing and up sizing the tires will cause power limitations also. That platform is actually the camry platform which is used in various forms for the Lexus, Highlander and mini van. Pretty stiff...

    Ford 150 3.5L Ecoboost vs Ram 1500 3.0 Ecodiesel?

    395 trips the 36 gallon is very nice. One big negative on the Expedition is the fuel tank size. But I nearly doubled my range just going from a Sequoia to the Expedition ?

    Building a fully enclosed Overland trailer to be towed by a Jeep

    I added a 120v induction hot plate single burner to my power outage kit last yr. My 2700sqft house with two kids doing DL and the wife doing home office duel monitors, multiple house fans, air purifiers ie wild fire smoke etc. Any way that 120v single hot plate induction cook top at 1800 watts...

    Ford 150 3.5L Ecoboost vs Ram 1500 3.0 Ecodiesel?

    Im in SF bay area. Two neighbors have the 2.7 F150’s one tows a small 16ft ski boat. The other one just hauls stuff in the bed. Both say 18mpg around town and 24-26mpg highway averages are typical. I have a 2019 Expedition with the 3.5. The mid to late 2019’s did get unannounced tweaks. Like...

    2016 USSV Ford F450 Rhino GX $229K Urban Assault Vehicle

    450 chassis suggests its armored or it would ride like a buck board otherwise. Guessing the recent rappers getting shot on the highway triggered the advertising. Judging by the Expo challenges regarding weight I highly doubt a heavy armored vehicle with load capacity for passengers only is ever...

    In search of new adventure vehicle for family of 4 and a couple of pups.

    I replaced my 06 Sequoia with a 2019 Expedition yeah it was $82,000 with taxes! Heavy tow pack Platinum loaded. Sticker was $85,000 got it for far less. It does car duties and truck duty well. Gets decent mileage in every day stuff. Will be driving it for 12+ yrs assuming nothing happens to it...

    New Bronco

    I think most 2 door owners would remove them. Its a pretty small vehicle with a very specific purpose. I can see lots of Manuals being towed behind RVs in the near future

    New Bronco

    Honestly the JK several friends have them and I’m always shocked by how s-tty the seating space is both front and back rows. And I’m not a big guy.

    New Bronco

    I went from 12+ yrs of tan interior to black. Blehhh I forgot how much dust and dirt it shows. My tan interiors were beat on by dogs and kids a wipe down and they looked great again. The black interior man it looks bad even after two weeks parked lol

    (partially) new Tundra coming?

    Front clips are all about mileage today. Toyota will be no different given how lousy their mileage is.

    (partially) new Tundra coming?

    The height on those is pretty stupid except it seems like everyone lifts them anyway lol. On the flip side they are more secure ha! Cant take what you can’t see or reach. The fold into the floor 3rd row trend lifted the floor in all the midsized and full sized wagons so its pretty shocking to...

    (partially) new Tundra coming?

    RAV has low hanging body work on the nose even the TRD version which greatly reduces it ability. TRD only gets you tires and stickers?. Classic Toyota move

    12V 10W Solar panel with MPPT into a MPPT controller?

    Are you sure your 10watt has a controller? I have major doubts it would. If it doesn’t it will cook your battery to a crisp. This is what my 10watt looks like. No controller just a diode and wires in the box. A MPPT controller will be a larger box and typically have a screen and buttons to...

    You won’t catch Toyota taking the RAV out in Moab. I was pretty shocked when this video came out.
