The Tundra and all the other trucks have roll cages, they are just integrated into the roof structure. It looks like the solid axle up front helps a lot by distributing some of the impact to the passenger side of the frame and back along the driver's side frame rail; independent suspension...
Interesting how the first two had the lap belt ride up off the passenger’s pelvis and into the soft abdominal tissue, bet that’s the main reason they got a low score
How important is folded size for you? The chair-in-a-bag ones are smaller but I don’t find them comfortable.
I think these are the ones we use now, the side tables make dinner in camp much easier.
from Costco:
Those will be their first priority to fix if that’s the case
So many people in here are overreacting, there have been 71 fires out of 1.3 million affected vehicles; your chances of catching fire are 0.00005%
I don't see how they could continue with the current engine options past 2030 and remain compliant. Regardless of the current political landscape in the US, powerplant development is going to impact global sales across Stellantis brands.
Part of the problem was Toyota drinking their own kool-aid and thinking they could do nothing wrong; part of the NHTSA investigation included the corporate culture endemic to Toyota from the 1990s and onward. They found a corporate culture of not being the bearer of bad news, people knew about...
It's too early to tell on the newest Tacomas, but it was an issue on the Gen1 and Gen2 models. The rust is one of the reason Toyota went with a weaker c-channel chassis behind the cab instead of a fully boxed frame; it was an attempt to prevent water from collecting inside the frame rails.
Being in an impound could mean anything from "it was parked in a red zone and towed" to "the previous owner has a DUI on their background check now", it doesn't mean there's a problem with the car.
Mine lives there permanently because the garage is full of motorcycles, the motorcycle lift, gym, and parts. I don't think I could squeeze the truck in there if I wanted to - and the LJR would take priority anyway.
I might start parking on the street away from the other cars though.
I remember seeing a photo of someone who did red bedliner in a Sting Gray Rubicon - a red that almost perfectly matched the Rubicon red accents. It looked fantastic, made me wish mine didn't come with the factory black bedliner just so I could do it in red.
What I would like to see:
A shift towards quality and reliability
Gladiator to get a full width engine bay without the Wrangler flying fenders
Gladiator to get a unique front end inspired by the J10/J20 or Kaiser
Full float axles for the Wrangler platform vehicles, at least as an option
What...
I'm Gen-X too, but I'd rather do all the negotiating by email - not because I'm scared of dealing with salesmen; it's a strategic decision that negates most of their manipulation tactics.
“I’m always speeding and never gotten a ticket.”
it’s not a problem until it’s a problem. The doors are designed to last a lifetime hanging from the hinges; I’d rather reduce the risk by doing that instead of hanging from the inside of the window frames and putting pressure and weight where it...
