    Finally Got a Chance to Detail the Taco

    Since people wanted to see my video on the detailing process, I finally got it together and it went live this morning the HDR version should be up by tomorrow morning. It takes 48 hours to process that for some reason, but let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy it. BTW just crossed 500...

    Ask the Toyota Engineers, Tim

    Yep that's what I'm seeing too. It's unfortunate especially for the brand that's all about off-road and overlanding. But I've made my choice, and I do really like the truck so far. So I guess that's what matters!

    Ask the Toyota Engineers, Tim

    That doesn't really make sense to me though. So I can just magically raise the gross vehicle weight rating by putting a new sticker on my truck? If your frame is meant to far exceed what the they put on the sticker, what's the point in the rating? There's more to this story, I think. Second...

    Ask the Toyota Engineers, Tim

    The manuals for the Toyota Hybrids are available now. Here are the payload numbers for the Trailhunter and Pros. So where is that 1700 lbs claim they made and how do the much heavier hybrids have the same payload as the much lighter gas only models??

    Tim's Wife With Great Thoughts on the KIA EV9

    Several states already charge a yearly fee for EVs for registration so that is already happening.

    Hey Tim, I really hope you are able to get it all figured out and get back to feeling great everyday. It is a long process, especially at our ages. I know just to recover from the holidays every year with all the extra crap I eat and drink takes about a month before everything is back to where I...

    Tim's Wife With Great Thoughts on the KIA EV9

    I enjoyed this video and its' kind of a cool test for EVs in rural areas too. I'm surprised that the range for the EV9 isn't over 300 or even closer to 350 miles though. Tim, see if you can get the Silverado EV that has over 400 miles of range and do the harder day test? That'd be interesting...

    Interesting 🤔 Truck News This Week. EV Toyota Trucks?

    This was all interesting @testerdahl, but my question is....Are you shop for an exhaust for your new Ram? Interesting ads on your site! On the Toyota news, I can see a PHEV Taco or smaller pickup. Not sure about a full EV though.

    My 2024 Ford Ranger review posted to Consumer Guide Automotive

    It's strange with the gladiator as they basically had a 🔥 sale last year. Some of the discounts were crazy. 15-20k on some models. Now they're more expensive again. They're supposed capable, but all of the Jeeps TFL showed were 64k+. They'll have less expensive models, so hopefully people will...

    How about the new 2 door Wrangler coming in at 64k in the top trim? That's pretty nuts.

    Finally Got a Chance to Detail the Taco

    My understanding is that the new film coatings are quite good these days, as far as what the dealer adds, I'm not sure, but the aftermarket vinyl is supposed to be quite good for rock chips and light scratches as it self repairs. But I have not had it on any of my vehicles to give a great answer...

    My 2024 Ford Ranger review posted to Consumer Guide Automotive

    Well, I was talking the build I was looking to buy for both them and that comes to $52,855 for the Ranger. That would be as real world as it gets for me. So they were quite close. Ranger: Tacoma:

    My 2024 Ford Ranger review posted to Consumer Guide Automotive

    Cheaper yes, but they're within a like $1500 maybe, so not crazy different. When I priced out the Lariat's I was about 52k and the Off-road was 53k.

    You need to try some jeans with a bit of stretchiness to them! They're fantastic!
