    Best Cruiser for my family

    The 4.7 seems to be tuned with a more aggressive throttle response than the LC which has a very mellow for a lack of a better word throttle response. The Sequoia has the angry burn the tires off throttle response probably so soccer moms can keep up with the Escalade driving, yoga ladies😀

    Best Cruiser for my family

    I was worried about size vs maneuverability. The Gwagon is narrower and shorter than the Sequoia. There were some tight tree'd in corners and I was really impressed with how maneuverable the Sequoia was. Side by side oddly the 100 vs Sequoia are nearly the same footprint. But the Sequoia for...

    AT Tacoma Habitat: Official Thread

    Just returned from YellowStone 2780 miles in 9 days. 05 Sequoia towing the original Lifetime tent rig 900lbs naked. 16mpg 75-80mph across NV and ID. 21mpg in the Yellowstone safari madness and 15mpg massive head wind going home. Stock sized tires bfg allterrains. Worked well. That type of...

    Best Cruiser for my family

    I sold my cherry 93 J80 and picked up a lightly used 05 Sequoia limited. Needed the seating space. That was in 2011. Today it just hit 98,000 and we just did a 2780 mile 9 day trip. Two kids two adults camping. By design I had all our gear stuffed in the truck and in a sleek roof box then our...

    EarthCruiser GZL 400

    Fiberglass products are labor intensive and have higher environmental costs related to mass production set ups. It might look costly but I bet their build cost is high also.

    AT Tacoma Habitat: Official Thread

    Someone put an AT on a ZR2 already!!! Sheeshhh... Oh and please if your doing the family of 3 or 4 with one especially on a 6ft bed please post some bunking set ups. I can see the AT on a 6ft bed possibly supporting a family pretty well. Especially using the Expedition Overland ladder entry...

    Be sure to keep lots of plastic patch material. I can't imagine those soft touch body panels hold up on jeep trails🤣

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    The Raptor in stock form isn't either based on the 150mile run my buddy did in a built Raptor nothing stock but the engine, cab and trans. Every thing behind the cab was cut off and replaced with a built tube frame and about 3ft travel. The stock guys broke all sorts of stuff. The takeaway was...

    Very curious about the family trip. Long bed? Bunks on the truck bed for the kids? Parents in the penthouse?

    Family Camping & Overland Trailer Build(ish)

    I know a few ocean racers who tried to use the soft bladder tanks. After 1000 miles of ocean racing they chaffed holes from the constant movement rubbing against the area they were stored. I would suspect a short life in a trailer that gets dusty and jostled around on the road.

    Colorado ZR2 and Tacoma TRD Pro compared

    It's also been delayed per recent news. I bet no diesel option given the recent 3rd party law firm going after Eco diesels.

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    A neighbor just brought home a new Raptor. He said it was either the Tesla or the raptor i.e. His cash budget due to sold stock shares. He got the Raptor. It's almost a 100k truck with tax in our state. So a baby stock desert runner zr2 seems pretty damn cheap in the 40-45k range.

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    Agreed I was looking at that also. However if load or towing capacity is higher priority than Rock / ledge crawling the z1 might still have interest. Though I think GM needs to have a more modern view of their truck packaging. I bet they would sell more LT trucks with added i.e. Paid for lockers...

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    There are so many independently owned GM dealers near me I can't imagine it being very hard to get near invoice for a ZR2 with some patience and around November after the initial rush to get one wears off. On the flip side our Toyota dealers are Auto Group owned and they have pretty much...

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    Yes and you can get something other than late 90's black. The brown interior is pretty nice. I had black in my old car and now 8 yrs in my light Cream interior car no way I'm going to black interiors again. Even with kids and dogs and the mess they bring to seats.

    Small Off-Road Trailer from Hi-Standard Outfitters

    Specs look slightly lighter than my 4x6 lifetime trailer which we pull with the Subaru. I think it's too narrow and too lightly built for on road towing behind a Subaru. I'm finding the 2000lb axle and size of the 4x6 box to be near ideal for the light compact trailer yet still able to carry...

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    I like the shocks on the zr2, the lockers. But I like the GMC Canyon interior far more, and the long bed. If I could order a LB, 4dr slt Canyon with added lockers and multi madic shocks I'd be very happy.

    Chevy Colorado with a camper?

    I think it is mainly due to most slide ins are way too heavy. Check out wander the west website. Lots of Ford rangers with yrs and yrs of FWC trips and one regular is doing a huge trip from Main to Alaska with his tricked out diesel Colorado and fwc.
