    I will never buy another new vehicle again. Low mileage used for the wife from now on. Older trucks for me.

    To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    Just sold our 2014 Durango with 84,000 miles on it that looked rough (Wife loves to hold onto her key ring which has about 3000 key rings on it and 2 keys, as she walks down the side of the vehicle. Talk about death by a thousand papercuts. Add to it a 4 year old and 10 year old who believe the inside of a vehicle is their own personal testing ground for how much shit can we just drop and it was really bad) for 22,000. Used the money and bought her an Expedition

    I don't have any experience with new Toyotas. But the 80s/90s/2000s Toyotas are built like absolute tanks. Far superior to domestic trucks and SUVs of the era

    I was hoping this would be the Hilux videos from WD. Imagine how long that thing would last under “normal use”.
