    Toyota 4 Runner shockingly disappointing rental experience

    4 runner and Jeep Wrangler both fit the same category for me. " terrible at 90% of what I need a car to do" which is drive on a paved road at speed.

    E85 making a come back?

    I used it almost exclusively in my F150 in 2018/2019, it was about 50% the price of E10 at the time. Last 5 years I really haven't seen as favorable a price spread so I haven't been using it. I take around a 20% MPG hit using it. I assume that because e85 is 55%-85% ethanol, the price spread...

    The Air Tool Argument

    If I was wrenching all day in a bay doing tires and suspension work I think the lighter weight of the Pneumatic would be preferred. But im just a home wrencher so i use a battery impact.

    business idea for BITOGER- mobile trailer wheel bearing repacking

    Not a bad idea, I think you could make some money on the side. $50/hub parts included. i think alot of RV people would pay that and chock it up to "not worth their time". Meanwhile you do a double axle in 2 hours and gross $200.

    EV batteries are defying expectations after hundreds of thousands of miles

    I think we have just seen the slow climb of EV tech. Once the innovation cycle hits the exponential part of the curve we will be at 1000 mile range in no time.

    F150 spare tire weight limit?

    The spare tire carrier design on the f150 and f250 is the same concept, different part number. I would guess your fine. I replace my 113s with 115t tire which is probably a little heavier. Its been fine.

    Is BITOG Even Necessary Any More?

    Do you think we are made of money? OGs determined long ago Supertech FS is all you need. We drink Folgers not Starbucks Valvoline Restore and Protect!

    People who trade in vehicles after 0-2 years for silly reasons. Are people really this bad with finances?

    Seems to me most people don't think about Total Cost Of Ownership and Purchase Price is the largest part of this equation. Then forgetting the basic purpose of having the vehicle is to drives miles. So you want to be aware of how much you spent to get your miles driven. And forget or ignore...

    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    Whatever you are describing is completely opposite the expirence I have had booking flights to Europe. Each cabin is multiple times more expensive. First class was over 5x the economy fare. Then you say "save less than a grand" that is a 1% er mentality. Pay a little bit more for some kind of...

    Oil filter for 2016 Ford F150 5.0L Coyote?

    There are so many options on rockauto.com. Put a order in for a few oil, engine air, cabin air, and wiper blades. Even with shipping when spread across 10-12 lightweight items saves you a bunch over automatically stores.
