    Quick review of my 2022 Ford Maverick

    I had an '07 RL and now a '19, and am addicted to having a trunk and two-way tailgate. However - and obviously you know this - it's going to cost some $ to make that move. Either way, hope it works out great.

    Michelin Defender vs FS Destination LE3...are the Michelins really worth the extra cheese?

    Best of luck. I have the LE3s on my 2019 Ridgeline - so far so good at almost 30k miles. Last month replaced another model of Michelins with Defenders on our Lexus GX460 - seem very quiet to me.

    Quick review of my 2022 Ford Maverick

    Nice, balanced, interesting - thanks for sharing. As a 2019 Ridgeline owner, I appreciate the way you give credit to other trucks for what they do well, etc. - a much more enjoyable (and learning) exercise than the my-brand-vs-your-brand approach.

    MT: Ranger vs. Colorado vs. Tacoma vs. Ridgeline Test

    I'm on my second Ridgeline - a 2007, now a 2019 - and you're right; it does most things as well or better than its competitors. And it drives like a dream, with an advanced torque-vectoring AWD system. I like the look of the Ranger, though I haven't driven one. From what I've read it's quick...

    MT: Ranger vs. Colorado vs. Tacoma vs. Ridgeline Test

    The Ridgeline's suspension parts are like 25% beefier than the Pilot's. The bed capacity is about 1500#, and I've tested that. It carries 4x8' sheets flat in the bed.

    MT: Ranger vs. Colorado vs. Tacoma vs. Ridgeline Test

    It does about everything as well as or better than the competitors - some things much better. Not great off road due to limited ground clearance. Bed capacity is ~1500#, and 4x8' sheets fit flat between the small wheel wells.

    MT: Ranger vs. Colorado vs. Tacoma vs. Ridgeline Test

    Why don't you look at the capacities before making such a statement? It handles as much or more than almost every midsize truck. The payload is in the 1400-1500lb range (I've definitely been near that) and it tows 5000lbs - pulls my subcompact Kubota with loader and mowing deck easily. 4x8'...

    MT: Ranger vs. Colorado vs. Tacoma vs. Ridgeline Test

    That was a design error that's fixed for $20 in parts. Corrected in 2020 & later models. Interior space is very good in the Ridgeline.

    Lexus GX460 vs RX350

    This was a ways back, so don't know if this will reach you. Bought a 2016 GX460 right about when you got the new RX350. The GX has been terrific, and I personally really like it - built so solid, and just so capable - but it's my wife's primary driver, and she says it's fine....but I really...
