Last May we went Boston to Big Sky. One of the places I wanted to see was Going-to-the-sun Road. Another was Glacier NP. It was still perhaps a little early in the season and we didnt have time, given all the other places we wanted to see. I'd like to put together another ride out that way of...
Then it looks like I will be looking at 2011 and prior....
Actually, was it a full on switch at 2012, or gradually. Like only in the CrossTreks at first, then the Forester, then outback and so on
Something like 36- 37 gallons! Nice!
I had two '90's big Chevy Blazers, k1500, Silverados. Those had 30 gallon tanks right where a pickup truck spare is, inside the tow hitch box. For a truck that got 16 mpg on the highway, that thing had respectable range and was far easier to park than my...
Well, I've nothing against something developed decades ago. Chevy 350 engine, Colt 1911. And so on. As long as it was good when developed and stayed good.
Yes, my preference would be manual transmission, which are harder and harder to come by in new vehicles. So I want 10 years old or so for...
@tjZ06 ...
Thanks for this thread. Now of we could only get people to SEARCH A BLASTED TOPIC before starting a whole new thread on the same topic, just asking questions that anyone could Google.
Like you, I find this site very informative and helpful and friendly. I'm happy to chime in or to...
Maryann. That's all there is to it
Jean short shorts and plaid tied shirt? CHECK. And she could probably cha ge a tire.
Ginger? High maintenance pain in the arse, and doesnt look NEAR as good in the morning. NO THANKS.
Might as well ask of Indiana Jones:
Karen Allen, who can out-drink those...
I think pound for pound, size for size the Subies aren't great on gas because they are all wheel drive, right? My girlfriend has a 6 cyl 2013 GMC Terrain Denali, and that gets the same fuel economy as my 5.3 liter v8 full size Sierra! We could have opted for a 4 cyl engine in it, but not in...
I am very seriously considering an older Subaru Forester for my DD. Some Geolandar AT's, small roof rack for the kayaks, and very minimalist gear inside. Keep the GMC Sierra, which is my current daily, at home except for the big hauls.
Either that or an older, early to mid 2000's Toyota Tacoma...
I will say this, though. I can get 420 highway miles out of my 25 gallon tank easily. Often more than that if I'm gentle on the skinny pedal. I do have a Trac Rac on top of my camper shell, but I'm talking with nothing on the rack. I try to keep everything tucked in under the shell. As others...
Not bad! Even my gas 5.3 liter '14 GMC Sierra can top out at 29.9 mpg on any given 25 mile stretch. Thats not the norm, though. Longer term, it does tend to dip a little lower, especially since I daily drive it to work and theres slow traffic half the way
Would like to do this and also the second battery for my GMC. To have both options. For one reason or another over the past year, I never got to either project. Watching
Scout (the Beagle, the Thunder Beagle) has a Kurgo Tru-Fit harness which can plug into the seat belt receiver with the included tether, or wrap around a seatbelt with a second tether with a swivel carabiner. Crash tested. Stainless "nesting" hardware like linesmen use, as opposed to plastic...
For me, on my Leer truck camp shell, I put stickers of places we've been (Badlands and Yellowstone for example), gear we use (Bilstein shocks, Kurgo dog harness or example) and sometimes places where I've made purchases (Hilton's Tent City, previously of Boston now in Cambridge).
Im not all...
