Just please don't set up camp next to me.

I would have jumped on a Defender by now, but the closest dealer is 4 hours away. Sounds like 110 owners spend a lot of time at dealers (albeit mostly for little pesky things), so that pretty much rules them out for me.

The Grenadier apparently is slower than my 5th gen 4Runner, which is pretty much a dog, so that's a deal killer for me. All of the alternatives, like the GX, Defender, and even the 4 cyl LC 250 are significantly better in terms of power. I realize we're not talking sports cars, but i have zero...

The more I think about this the more curious I become. If driving one sounds like driving an EV with a little gas generator running in it somewhere, that's 100% a deal killer. I'm sure that's not what they're going to cook up, but what? Fake ICE exhaust noise over the audio system?

So if what I've seen is accurate, for the models with the range extender, the "EV only" range (i.e. no gas in it) is only 150 miles. But ~500 miles total with the extender in use? (The range extender versions have smaller batteries than the pure EV versions. But that ratio still fundamentally...

what are you talking about?

I have this Leitner rack and some of the accessory bits on my Silverado, and I'm convinced it's the best system of its kind on the market. Great rack as a nice price.

So I have a 2-burner with the break-apart hinge. The gas lines feed into the front, next to the burner control knobs (I inderstand why, but it sucks from a practicality standpoint). And the lines are so stiff and awkward, and the stove(s) are so light, you can't just set things up where you...

This is very cool, IMHO.

holy schit is that fugly

Nice cars, and you can find a bargain, but most are commanding good money. And maintenance costs could push them out of the "budget" category. I decided to look for a fun car as a stop-gap while I decide what I want to replace my SUV with and I found this. $27k with 340 miles on it. (Older...

Seems like a buyer opportinuty. There's another similar Kimberly for sale here for $130k

Looks to me like there's a pass-through. https://www.alu-cab.com/product/modcap-family-camper/

That doesn't change the fact that they couldn't drive directly home without a 3 hour stop, whereas stopping for gas on the same (desired) rout would have taken 5 minutes.

I'm not anti-EV. But it's not where it needs to be for me as an overlanding vehicle (this is an overlanding forum, right?) We were simply car camping with friends on the Dolores river in SW CO. They had their camping rig (a fossil fuel burning Tundra). But the mom came out later in her Tesla...

If it's the vehicle you want to use for the trip, the other 51 don't matter.

To be fair, why were you crawling in 4Lo on terrain that an Equniox could breeze through? Are you one of those guys that slows to 1 mph to turn into a gas station? ;)

I looked into all sorts of setups wired into the vehicle, but unless you want to spend a lot of coin something like this is so much cleaner, easier, and so flexible.

I've got a Jackery Explorer 1500 (not the more expensive Pro version), which now goes on sale for well under $1,000 if you keep your eyes open, and it spent 7% of its charge to keep my CFX35 at 32 degrees for 12 hours overnight last weekend (7pm to 7 am) in ~70 degree ambient temps in the back...
