    2025 Honda Pilot

    My wife really likes the blue on the Trailsport's.. Also the only trim you can get captain chairs with armrest on.

    2025 Honda Pilot

    FWIW We're in the same boat and I plan on getting a new Pilot within a year or so. Have same concerns as you, but for me I want a non-hybrid V-6 with a non-CVT trans and Pilot fits the bill. As someone who has lost a car due to timing chain failure I sort of like the idea of swapping a new Belt...

    1995 Ford Ranger Worn syncros

    I've had synchromesh in my 88 F-150 for a couple decades now and it shifts better than it did with ATF. Give it a shot. I like the comments on bleeding the clutch master cylinder.. I can say I've never done that on mine and have been driving it since 02. It did get a clutch around 09, but has...

    Handgun bore sight

    I've always just shot/adjusted on a handgun personally. If you have a vise you could sight with the iron sights then install optic and adjust to point you were aiming at.

    Wagner Thermoquiet no longer has integrated shim for my CRV

    I’ve probably installed 15 sets on personal vehicles and they’ve always been quiet good stopping pads. Will say the last 2 sets haven’t been GG rated and create more dust than previous sets. I install them dry and have never had any noise myself

    Home insurance rate changes since 2021.

    I just swapped to Allstate after 20+ yrs with State Farm. Home insurance was 25% cheaper and car insurance was nearly 50% cheaper… same coverage levels. Still can’t believe it

    F-150 payload and towing; within limits?

    I think you're good to go with comments others noted. FWIW I just ran my new to me camper over the scales on the way back from our camping trip and it was 6300lbs on camper, 3800 drive axle and 3500 steer axle (2016 Ram 1500) previous owner had been towing it with an F-150 like yours since 2014...

    Harbor Freight's "$1000" trailer

    That's a good price and you can make it what you want. I have a 6x12 (not HF just normal trailer) that I use all the time. I was a trailer borrower for years, but just having it there ready to go is worth having something else to keep tires on.

    Bias vs Radial Trailer Tires

    You can get tires with rims cheaper than that… last trailer spare I bought was $70 for a 205/75/15 with rim. Check fb market place lots of places near me have trailer wheels/tires by the pallet in different sizes. Here is a guy that has 13's with wheels for $72 for example...

    Blew Up My Dad's MTD Lawn Tractor

    Yeah it was a geared trans. I think one of the outer axle bearings failed and we just continued to drive it until the axle essentially broke. Its untelling how many hours that thing had on it.. It was bagging leaves in the winter so it was running all year.
