Current vehicle is an 06 Chrysler Town and Country. I'm looking to replace that in a few months and I'm not sure with what. The driving is 4 miles each way to work with some longer drives on the weekend.

Long term.

I currently drive about 5,000 miles a year and change the conventional oil once a year in the fall. If i were to switch to a quality synthetic oil, what's the longest time you would go? I don't know the engine because I'm considering this for a future vehicle. It won't be any high performance or...

I hadn’t thought of that. Oddly enough, they seem reasonably priced.

What about the 4 Runners makes you uneasy to tow? It’s rated for 5,000 pounds. The Sequoa is an option.

Maintenance seems like a headache on those.

I currently have a 17 foot boat. I’m looking to get a bigger one in the future. Most boats with trailer that I’ve looked at are about 4,000. The 5,000 is the safety cushion.I believe the vehicles I listed are 5,000 or more.

I’m not doing any hard core off road. I vacation in the UP and Northern Wisconsin. They have unimproved fire lanes and some boat ramps are dirt/mud. I need added traction and ground clearance.

I fixed that.

I’m looking for an SUV. I have some in mind, but wanted to know if I left any off the list. My needs are it has to seat 4 people comfortably, tow 5,000 pounds and have some off road abilities. The ones I’m currently considering are Tahoe/Yukon, Grand Cherokee, Explorer and 4 Runner. I’m looking...

I’m looking for a dash cam. I want it to have the ability to run on a DC cord and have a battery backup built in. I’d prefer the ability to save small videos or at least mark them to look at later. It will go from vehicle to vehicle so a good mounting system is a must. What are you using?

Thanks guys. The mechanic thought it was the caliper, a bad line or possibly the ABS controller. I don't want to blindly throw money at it hoping to fix the right part. I'll start with the caliper.

About a month ago, the right front brake locked up. I had it towed to the mechanic and when he looked at it, the brake freed itself and the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong. I've been driving it since and it hasn't done it again. Any ideas what would cause that?
