    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    Not super relevant, but checked out a new SV Frontier today, crew cab 6 foot box, payload sticker was 1110lbs. Seems typical of the class, but if Yota offers a Taco with a couple hundred more.... Would be the ticket for a lot of folks

    Outstanding video comparing wide versus narrow tires

    I'm glad he mentions what a unicorn tire size that is. Along with the fact the tires are actual measured out to be those sizes, and not just the mathematical diameters or what the manufacturer lists. BFG certainly runs small. My "34x10.5R17" sure weren't near the 33.5" mentioned by BFG. I do...

    Hypothetical F250 build

    I'm not saying 3.5 EB never had timing issues (especially as one friend is on third chain and second phasers or something ridiculous) I'm saying the non turbo versions don't have the issue so it's not inherent to the design necessarily

    It is indeed a chain. In the NA cyclones they never had timing chain stretch or failure issues that I could find. Certainly not at the mileage boosted engine owners had. Ford doesn't list proper intervals for all sorts of maintenance items unless you look at the severe service schedule. I live...

    Hypothetical F250 build

    Well loaded up for a 5 day camping trip and having to take my best friends camp chairs, screen tent, cooler, and paddle boards, on top of all the usual stuff we have and the bicycles and rack, I would be in the same boat with a PP 2.7 F150 as I am with the WK2. Unloading all the work stuff and...

    Correct as usual.

    The Grand Cherokee went from SFA on the WJ to IFS on the WK because it drastically decreased the assembly time, IIRC. I'm sure road manors were a small factor in the decision as well, but not the primary. I am not opposed to IFS, especially when done right. However still prefer stout solid rear...

    Imperial going for the mainstream crowd

    If Obsessed had a magazine for camping trailers I'd subscribe to it. Thankfully he provides his findings for free! I don't know who and how these people are all buying 70-150k trailers.

    Hypothetical F250 build

    It doesn't make tons of sense here unless u want LED headlights and non chrome bumpers from the factory without all the jazz and extra cost the same equipment requires on an XLT. A plain Jane XLT equipped otherwise identical (sans LED headlights and body color bumpers) is still low 70s CAD...

    Huh. 47k USD is like 64k CAD. Why the hell is everything so much more expensive here still?? Nothing but crew cabs in the 80s around me.

    Thread for those that have their money down.

    Still seems like way too much money for way too much compromise and way too little concrete information. What do some of you do for a living you are buying vehicles at this price point anyway? Long finance terms?

    1/2 Ton vs 3/4 Ton for Family Adventures?

    No doubt the Expedition is the vehicle for you, but it's not an F150 wagon. Too many differences outside of the "cab"

    Woody, or Woodrow Hairrelson if you want to be formal. He is a rescue from a northern reserve. Seems mostly German Shepherd with some Husky. Very good boy so far. Still need a work truck plan, but for the time being I can just pay attention to this handsome boy. He isn't good with stairs or...

    Thread derail: why make payments Ona Super Duty when this handsome boy can suck up the funds instead!!!

    That's why we haven't moved. Even the modest houses we are looking at will give us a 150-200k mortgage again at 6%. No thanks.
