    Help Me Decide - 2018 Lexus GX or 2018 4Runner Limited

    I looked at the GX before buying a 4Runner last year. I liked the v8 I didn't like: the 3rd row seat for little people, the rear seats that didn't lay flat, the cattle gate rear door that swung the wrong way, 2nd row captains chairs that leave gaps in cargo area when folded down, premium fuel...

    Let's here from the women out there!

    "Here from the women." What does that mean?

    Thoughts on this rollover road rage video: Ford SUV vs BMW

    Yes. And it's definitely not a SUV. It's some sort of front wheel drive crossover.

    Do I dare ask . . . Grand Cherokee Trailhawk

    I have a hunting buddy with a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the hemi and all options. Really, really nice. I have a 2016 SR5 4runner. The 4runner has more room. The Jeep has broken down twice and had to be towed to the dealer. Once was bad battery and once was bad fuel pump. Each time it...

    One banjo bolt washer or two?

    A banjo bolt should have a double washer which is held together with a strap between the two washers in some cases to make it easier to install. I have them on my power steering connections. In any case, you need two washers. One on each side.

    Would rock sliders help in an accident?

    Miata, yes. Dump truck, no.

    Oil Changes Are Ridiculous!

    I change the oil myself. About $40.00 for Mobil 1 and a Toyota filter. I don't want to spend the time it takes to go to and from the dealer, not to mention sitting around waiting for someone else to do something I can do during TV commercials and know it's done right.

    Bolt on sliders

    I have the Shrockworks dimpled sliders which have square main tubes. I weighed one before it was installed and it was slightly over 50 lbs.. That is one heavy duty piece of steel. I am certain it will hold the weight of the truck.

    Tow plug inlet in wrong place

    Sorry to hear this has been going on for 8 years. I just got my 4runner earlier this year and planned to do some towing with it. All the engineers at Toyota must drive the Prius models.

    Tow plug inlet in wrong place

    Why is the inlet for trailer plugs way off to the left instead of near the hitch receiver? None of the wires on my trailers reach this thing so I had to get extensions and then zip tie the wires so they don't hang down. I quit using my 2016 4runner for towing after losing a couple of adaptors...

    I'm getting an Explorer now!

    Exactly, the new Explorer is not a SUV!

    Bicycle racks?

    I put the left rear seat down and roll it in rear wheel first. I have removed the rear center head restraint and draped a a towel over the rear center seat for it to lean on. I have no third row seat or roll out tray. The bike is a light road bike. I like to keep it inside the vehicle to...

    4wd vs 2wd?

    Grew up in the Midwest on a farm. Learned to drive in snow, ice, mud, rocks and hills with 2wd. No one had 4wd. No one had a suv (they didn't exist). So, I don't need 4wd. I live in Florida now and go off road about 100 times a year. With 2wd I have only been stuck once in the last 35...
