4LO with a rear locker and good tires should get you up any wet gravel driveway I can think of. On a side note, how in the world do you get a 1,600lb power cart up into a pickup? I'm assuming a forklift.

As already mentioned, you'll have to go with a mid sized truck if you want anything better.

I have 2 minor annoyances with my F-150. The heated steering wheel doesn't have a physical button, it has to be done with the touchscreen. The second thing is when you close the door with the car running and keys inside it honks the horn twice. My wife's Toyota has a nice little beep, honking...

I think you wouldn’t have any trouble with a tankless water heater. Our house has 4 bedrooms, a washer, and a dishwasher and we’ve never run out of hot water. I can’t expand my thoughts too much because it’s been pretty much flawless. It provides hot water all the time no matter what we’re...

I have a Navien NPE-210A tankless. So far, no complaints.

I suspect the same will be true for 2021 with the chip shortage the automotive industry is currently experiencing. https://www.npr.org/2021/01/12/956097426/lack-of-computer-chips-trips-up-some-automakers

Well I know that we won't be buying a used one anytime soon. If the price is that close when it comes time to buy we'll go with a new one.

I wouldn't expect that, but I thought I would see more local cars that spent their life in VA.

Besides the prices, the other thing about Carmax that I'm not crazy about is how they ship cars south. It seems like a majority of the cars at my local Carmax are from up north (PA, NY, MA, CT, etc...) and have rust if you bother to look. To their credit, they provide a free vehicle history...

You can say that again. My wife has been interested in Hyundai Palisades lately, so I decided to check them out on Carmax today. A 2020 Palisade Limited with 20k miles is $1,000 less than a brand new 2021 Palisade Limited's MSRP. More than likely you can get a brand new one for less than a used...

I'm a huge fan of minivans. If she doesn't want one then maybe we'll get one as a third car someday and I'll drive it.

Crossovers are the least appealing type of vehicle to me. Every other type of vehicle seems to have a purpose while crossovers just sort of do everything OK. I try to convince my wife that a minivan would actually meet her needs much better than her Highlander, but for some reason she thinks...

I'm all for cheap beater cars, even if they're a non-descript, boring appliance to get you from a to b. However, the rear end of this car is so ugly I just couldn't do it.

I would use Repsol Moto Racing 4T 10w-40. I think you would be fine with Motul or Yamalube, but Repsol is my personal preference.

I would avoid the GM 8 speed like the plague. I believe the Tahoe they had the 6 or 10 speed, but if you start looking at Yukons then beware. Also, have you considered the Expedition?

I'm partial to Fenix lights. The price to performance ratio is great. My favorite headlamp is the Fenix HM61R. I find the flood pattern and the ability to detach it and use as a regular flashlight make it more useful than a normal headlamp.

I spoke to the shop and they said if the damage is on a body line then they would most likely need to replace the whole quarter panel. I tried to stress that it doesn’t need to look perfect just better than it does now. I’m waiting to hear back if they’re willing to give it a shot.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Unfortunately, the shop won't look at photos so I need to take the car in for an estimate. Now that I know it's possible I'll make the trip.

I had a 2006 SR5 that is probably the best vehicle I've ever owned (not my favorite, but the best built) and the only one I regret selling. Unfortunately, it wasn't a great car to commute across a major city or I would probably still be driving it today.

My wife came out to her car in a hospital parking lot to discover this dent. The local PDR shop is about 45 minutes away so I'm hoping to find out if it's even worth making the trip. Does this look like something that could be repaired? The fact that it's right on a body line makes me doubt it...
