    2024 Land Cruiser in the USA?

    Direct conversion is not how car sales work in Canada. I did not just pull the estimated price out of my ********. The 2024 Tacoma TRD Off Road Premium is ~55k USD, and is ~61k CAD. Its the most direct comparison I have. It starts to get weird when you look at the GX550 prices though, which are...

    Maxtrax mounting ideas on JKU

    Single ratchet strap, heavy duty bike lock. Done deal. Never had an issue. Easy on, easy off.

    Argento - The Overland Ranger Build

    I'm a bit biased, but I love it. Gotta be getting heavy though, especially with the RSI. Any idea where you are in proximity to GVWR?

    Lexus GX550 Overtrail vs. Grenadier or new Toyota Land Cruiser?

    I'm sure its differences in testing methodology, but I'll admit I was a little surprised by the delta. I'd say the real question is, which proves to be more accurate in daily driving? I'm leaning toward the EPA, but I'd be happy to be wrong.

    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    FWIW, my 2 year old Ranger is in the shop as we speak getting a new drive shaft due to the infamous bearing issue within a certain build bracket on these trucks. So far my Wrangler was more reliable and solidly built than this vehicle.

    2024 Land Cruiser in the USA?

    On the plus side, the rumoured payload here would easily allow for an aux tank, if packaging allows.

    2024 Land Cruiser in the USA?

    If the payload of the fully loaded model really is close to 1700 lbs, that's a big deal. Awesome numbers. I did my range calc using the combined, then removed 40km because no one is running dry.

    2024 Land Cruiser in the USA?

    So around a 600km working range stock, empty, before off road tires. No payload numbers I can find anywhere. The off road angles/clearances are Subaru numbers. Canada hasn't had a Land Cruiser since 1989, so I'm pretty sure these will be flying off the lot if they start low 60s CAD. Though...

    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    GM is issuing a stop sale of Colorado/Canyon due to software issues. This is the same company that wants to remove Apple carplay and Android auto in favour of their own homebrewed approach, because its "better for the customer" :rolleyes:

    Gladiator - Good/Bad?

    A failure rate of 1 in 50 seems incredibly high to me.

    2020 Ford Ranger questions

    We enjoy ours, with some caveats. Primary upsides: - Great drivetrain - Excellent payload (even in Tremor spec). - Pretty great available tech (adaptive cruise, lane keep, auto wipers/high beams, sound system, headlights, etc) If you're not a fan of the tech, scratch this. - Perfect size for...

    Correct as usual.

    I agree with his points on price, and off road accessories, mostly. Everything else felt a bit "old man yells at cloud". There are a couple obvious reasons from a business perspective for some of the things he thinks are ridiculous, which zimm covered. Now, as a consumer, do I like those...

    Grenadier Questions and Answers? Post'em Up

    So true. Its unfortunate. ASPW can sometimes be equal parts codger and bag of air, but at least I know I'm not getting any fluff or Bunk.
