As an owner of two 2010's. And knowing some about the options. #1 the all new ground up 2.5 was put in the car in 2013, Subaru has had trouble getting the low friction metal treatments to the piston sleeves vs rings right in the 13's. They also had a pressure release plate issue in the Torque...

I have always wondered about those lines running to the reservoir. All the installations I've seen chaffing on shock towers was my first thought. Though you never hear about anyone talking about it. The biggie always seems to be loose nuts and needing to double up to keep em tight, I learned...

Wander west major contributor runs a ranger husband wife team with very similar rig as the eagle. I recall he added a stiffer leaf pack and has had great results lots and lots of trips through the Sierras and I think they hit Colorado not long ago. Seems to work just fine for them. I think it...

He does Montana in the winter and likes hitting Yellow Stone late fall. The heater is key and said it works great.

If you plan on using it a bunch for kicks check out the flatbed popups too. They cost more but they have some really nice features and a layout that might grab your interest. Given your location I think researching the types of inner liner options that some of the makers have as an option could...

All the auto makers with selling vehicles are short inventory today. Auto makers with excess inventory are simply lacking leadership to stay in business. Subaru is basically an order only option today and loving it. The days of big vehicle stock is over. Much easier to sell at MSRP when the...

Funny enough cvt's are showingbthe fewest reported issues. Granted they are far far less complicated than the 6+spd autos. Id guess DSG leads the list with the 6+spd slush boxes bringing up a close 2nd.

High wind locations Ive talked with with people who were glad to be driving with a pop up and they all seemed to have the same response about at camp, a good insulation liner and quality popup mechanism mitigated their concerns. The condensation issue spans all small spaces, air flow is the...

Yup all passenger / light duty vehicles must have backup camera and TPMS. My big complaint is the best backup camera set up apparently isn't GOV approved. The small screen embeded into the rearview mirror right were your eyes should be vs looking down at the damn dash.

Just add a pole to the RTT ladder and take a page out of the Sailor hand book, just stand at the edge and lett it rip. Our lady racers just hang off the back of the boat. No need to climb down if you take notes from other adventure sports. Ha! Just be happy the RTT isnt surfing at 16 knots and...

Recent reliability reports lists Auto transmissions being the largest issue in todays vehicles. One can only hope that Manuals will draw enough sales to keep them relevant. Though emissions and mileage ratings could be the biggest reason they are going away.

Your lockable storage options with the service body are great. Man makes me wonder why we dont see more of this. Gear storage is always an issue with the camper set ups. Its been fun watching your ideas take shape.

I would put the Matrix awd in the same bracket as the SX4 also. Chain timing belt, very simple durable machine. Not sexy but a good value probably a step up in crash standards over some of the other suggestions. My brother has the 2wd Matrix, 280,000 miles on it, even towed a uhaul trailer on a...

By the way the cooled seats in the wifes 2016 Fusion, I swear every truck should get them as standard equipment. Of any **** **** fluffy bs options I've seen over the years the cooled sport seat hands down my top favorite fluffy bs option I could really go for. Give me a stripped out 6spd manual 4x4...

Keep in mind production cost difference between a full size and these mid sized rigs is probably nearly exactly the same. In order to make the numbers work the trend is adding content so the buyer isnt paying stupid high prices for a stripped out basic truck. I would be perfectly happy with a...

The big difference regarding fuel type with the mid sized will be range. Plenty of Taco owners put lacking range being one of the big complaints. By the way Toyota has been lacking in inovation for years. I recall reading about top toyota brass meeting with Elon way back. The big discussion...

The Ford 3.2L Ranger is an impressive machine also. It seems to be giving the Hilux a bit of a run in other countries recently. Mainly due to being more modern and being quite good. Ford just signed a UAW agreement to build the Ranger here. Its coming. I like the Colorado/canyon the diesel is...

Same here and I've had two more since with no issues, I'm just far more careful what I buy.
