    Husky Liners installed!

    Look nice! Living up here, where there's usually snow on the ground from November through March and sometimes October-April, impervious liners have been my go-to through many vehicles over the last 3+ decades. I will need to consider the Huskys when the time comes.

    Finally, A Test Drive and Decision Time: Which Style?

    You're quite right; I actually have placed a deposit for a Luxury, as I wanted the real leather but not the extending/retracting running boards that come stock with the L+. ( I had those on a Navigator, and they were a complete PITA after about four winters of brined/treated roadways.) My dealer...

    Finally, A Test Drive and Decision Time: Which Style?

    I'm hoping to sit down with the sales rep I've been talking to at the end of this week, to really look hard at what the "+" brings to the table. OT/OT+ has the most appeal to me, as I all I need is 5 seats 99% of the time. Best,

    Finally, A Test Drive and Decision Time: Which Style?

    While I do like the decision by Toyota to eschew the EEV route and go with a classic hybrid, I, too, don't like that extra battery hump. On-ramp acceleration does matter, and while the hybrid is OK, the 6-cylinder ICE's low-end torque is noticeable and welcome. I know this might sound a bit...

    Finally, A Test Drive and Decision Time: Which Style?

    I'm leaning now towards the OT+, but I'm still very open minded to either the Premium or the Luxury.

    Finally, A Test Drive and Decision Time: Which Style?

    Good points about the memory! My late wife and I shared her F-150 Lariat, and the driver's seat had two memory functions; it was easy to press the button on the side of the seat before getting up and in.

    Finally, A Test Drive and Decision Time: Which Style?

    For several months now, I have been looking for my "Twenty-Year Ride," the vehicle my sons will ask for when it's no longer a good idea to let me careen around town alone. I've looked at/driven the Mercedes GLS450, Ineos Grenadier, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Grand Highlander and Land Cruiser, and...

    Undercoating for winter climates

    As a longtime aircraft owner, I know ACF-50 well. It’s really a great product.

    Car & Driver: Overland and See: 2024 Land Rover Defender 130 vs. 2024 Lexus GX550

    Bob, That's exactly the color combo I'm seriously considering. Which roof rack is that? It looks low profile, which, coming from highly modified Wranglers (Lifts, Rhino racks, etc.), looks much more comfortable when I'm in a parking garage. Best regards,

    Greetings From The High Plains

    On the one hand, I think that Toyota corporate engineering made the right call in focusing on a traditional ICE-Battery hybrid powerplant over the EEV/EVs, which continue to display issues that were predicted. OTOH, the execution on the LC chassis and the modeling shown on 550s makes me happy...

    Greetings From The High Plains

    Hello from scenic Fargo, ND. I'm a "serial" Wrangler (JKU/JLU) owner, and I'm currently shopping for a "20-Year Ride," the one my sons will take the keys from me in about 20 years, maybe more if I'm lucky. Naturally, Toyota products are high on the vehicle longevity list, especially in the...
