The AT4X was cool until I realized it was 6.2L only. Not that I don’t like the 6.2L, but if I had to pick any engine from the current GM lineup it would be the 3.0 Duramax. Otherwise I would rather have a turbo something

You know? I had not even thought about that. I guess it depends what the value of your trade is and how inflated the price is. I know my lexus gx could be worth about 5-7k more than I bought it for in early 2020, which was $21500 out the door. So in theory i could still profit $3-5k Not sure...

I see tons of OBS Ford powerstrokes, 12V cummins rams, lots on 1st and 2nd gen 4runners/pickups and some other stuff here and there. Oh and there is a shop 5 minutes down the road that specializes in land cruisers so i see lots of FJ’s and 100 series. In fact my neighbor had an OBS powerstroke...

2.7 is a pretty solid engine. The only common issue i have really heard of is the leaky plastic oil pans. I do 5k miles on my 3.5L ecoboost F150, but roughly half my miles are towing these days, so they are hard miles.

I also find this weird as well. The ridgeline seems to be a good truck.

Except the sports trac was actually body on frame and had a V8 lol

Im running PP Euro L in my F150 Ecoboost right now. I also do 5k mile OCI’s because I genuinely believe it helps mitigate timing chain stretch and because it gets flogged towing a travel trailer in UT and the surrounding states Im running M1 EP 10W-30 in my Lexus GX instead of 0W-20. It also...

So a couple of thoughts: I love that they went Torsen in the rear diff on some models. I have been wondering for years why Torsen/Truetrac diffs have not been more popular with the Toyota offroad crowd. We know A-trac does really well with an open diff. Now you throw in a helical LSD, which can...

My uncle had a 2000 S4 Avant. I know people jokingly say their car spent more time in the shop than on the road, but I am fairly certain his actually did.

I wanna say that is a pretty common issue on the Lexus GX groups. The 4Runner is on the same chassis but not sure if its an issue on them.

I actually find it the opposite. I always have 4Runners and Tacomas riding my a** even if I am doing 5 mph over. I was towing my travel trailer back from Glacier national park last weekend and was doing 70 mph in a 70 mph zone on a 2 lane road and got passed my multiple taco/4R’s who continued...

That is Colorado ZR2 money. I can tell you which I would rather have, and its not the Pro4X.

Its not going to be the king of the mid-sized trucks, even if its the best and most reliable, because the Toyota sheeple will keep buying Tacoma's. It's just how it works. I test drove a Colorado Dmax, Canyon V6(with the new at-the-time 8 speed), the Nissan Pro4X(with the old 4.0/5 speed), and...

It sounds like they are playing engine sounds over the speakers.

No body makes a BOF mid-sized SUV anymore except Toyota. There are a million and one BOF truck options in various size though, which means Toyota doesn't get free reign on that market. Why GM and Ford have not brought in their Everest and Colorado SUV's from overseas is mysterious to me.

The daily/mountain bike hauler: The tow rig: The offroader: Surprisingly the offroader has the smallest tires of the group :ROFLMAO: The reality is, they all share jobs. They all get offroaded, the GX and the F150 share towing duties, and the 4Runner sometimes hauls mountain bikes or...

As an F150 owner, a modernized Astro van would be hard for me to overlook. That 2.7L Turbo from the Silverado, a 10 speed, a solid rear axle, and optional AWD(or better yet, a 4Auto with 4Hi/4Lo t-case like the Colorado has) sound pretty good to me. My parents had a 2000 Astro when I was growing...

Guess it depends how far past reasonable you drive. Is driving a Z06 10 mph over the speedlimit even fun 😂

I had a 2000 Lincoln LS V8. It was not a bad car. But it was really just a rebadged Jaguar S-Type

Agreed. My ecoboost will tow my travel trailer up any grade ive hit at 70 mph doing 3500rpm at part throttle. And thats at 7000’ and its the old 420 ft-lbs first gen with a measly old 6 speed. It would probably do it at a lower rpm if i had more gears like the 10 speed.
