Midsized is targeting lifestyle truck use. Someone who needs more load carrying ability over a Subaru, MDX, Ford explorer, honda pilot etc. And wants to still have parking ability and mileage. Thats where the midsized trucks are headed. Around here all the contractors drive compact rigs due to...

I put this right up there with the clowns I see driving around town with their lightbars on. I had to chuckle when our local PD had one knuckle head stopped and was clearly pointing out the illegal use of said light. The rear facing lights are not nessisary but if you plan on racing they are...

I hear there are pills you can get that promise an inch or more. Tire size changes the ride and how easy it its to crawl over stuff. If fuel consumption is a hot topic any switch from highway tire to offroad focus will be a hit even at the same size. My sequoia went ftom 18mpg trip averages to...

Lamorinda. Love the bfg Advanced touring I put on the Subaru. 50,000 miles of heavy abuse, kinda marginal in tahoe but built really tough. Getting another set next few weeks at WC discount tire. I need to have them order up a set. Wet local brutal roads and martinez dump runs they held up great...

We have our own fleet today. Due to a local grandparent / grand kid transport driver who surprised us and punched his ticket not long ago. Daily driver / kid transporter 2010 Subaru 2.5 Outback limited. Also our road trip rig. We bought a 06 Sequoia for hauling us plus grandpa, and gramps hauled...

Thinking you guys just got fooled with gorrilla marketing. Really poor marketing but all the same.

I cringe at your front end modifications.. eeek I have a red 06 with 89,000 on the clock. I'm running stock sized BFG rugged terrains. Even have the soccer mom running boards on it still. Though I managed to clip one pretty good a while back taking the dog to the kennel, dirt road, caught a...

My Sequoia is boxed. And its on that list. Sections of the Taco are boxed also. Thats part of the problem.

Any boxed frame runs a risk of internal rust especially if it has a high iron content in the metal. That and pretty much minimal to zero surface treatment. Toyotas mistake was simply making other parts last too long. If the rest of the car was junker status by the time frame rust was an issue...

Just have decent lights on the back, you should be ok. I've seen so many weird and blatant License plate violations the past couple of yrs that haven't attracted attention as long as you have goid lighting on the back side your ok. There is a car around the corner going on 7yrs on paper dealer...

For road traction in the widest range of conditions Michelin pretty much owns it regarding comfort vs traction. Come at $ and some what marginal mileage life. Go harder compound rubber for more miles you pay with lackluster snow and cold temp ride and traction. Given your Reno I agree Michelin...

Just a guess but 31in might fit a LB version. But the SB? Could be tight. My 93 J80 I only carried the spare on road trips. Used the wilco tire gate. Local Daily use the BFG TKO's? I had a higher probability of being taken out by a Prius than getting a flat.

Bought the wife a 2016 Fusion Energy last Sept. It was the same sort of dealer game. Only they started with 2015 at msrp. Ha ha ha ha!!! I said wow your a collector should I go someplace else where they sell cars? I've never seen a sales manager look as if hes going to go supernova like that. 3...

Side note on buying new. Dealers know that if your serious about buying and tell them your only paying invoice. And they let you leave that they just lost a sale, 99.9999% of the time that buyer buys within a couple of days from a different dealer at invoice... Honda around here especially for...

Talked to our local GMC dealer neighbor. He said they sell them at or near invoice to buyer who negotiate. He said they still dont have a over supply like pretty much all other models, but said they dont have a shortage either. Far far far easier to get a canyon slt diesel under 40k today than a...

The most recent news this week 33s are on it.

Couldn't agree more. I'd like to see our States Attorney file price fixing on the Auto Group also. I ran into a blatant attempt to do this at the Marin Toyota shop. They flat out told me We dont negotiate our price, pointed at 4 sister dealer adds as justification and told me I can drive 600...

Airbag recall last week in my Sequoia. They had two used Tacomas parked out on the used lot. Keep in mind around here Bayarea all our dealers are owned by the same Autogroup. They carefully meter out their inventory and price fix the region. 2014 Taco 4dr sr5 sb AT 30,000 miles on it window...

Agreed the Diesel is a pretty nice machine. I checked out a diesel Canyon last week. Really do like that little engine. Very quiet too.

I go by real data ie statistics. Which is why my current truck is a Sequoia. Pretty much the gold standard for zero loss of life. I have the Subaru because I've driven around and through accidents in progress in ways that no other Car would accomplish easily. If I were as scared as you I'd...
