I don’t really care since I won’t ever buy one but here are the top 3 vehicles imo


Tacoma
Raptor
Jeep Wrangler / Gladiator

 

That looks great!

 

Best truck is a diesel Dodge, bet off-roader is a jeep, best 4-door is the new Camry (XSE?) Best compact is the Civic. Best motorcycle is a Ducati, pick any of them.

 

Compared to a matchbox sure. I'm happy driving instead of walking too

 

I’ll take the Ducati

 

I’ve known plenty of people who drive Jeeps. I drove a grand Cherokee for a couple years. Never left me stranded and and one of my best friends hasn’t been stranded in the 10 or so years he’s been driving wranglers daily.

 

Anecdotal

No such going as a reliable jeep. (insert Pinocchio.gif)

I had a Cherokee that lasted for years, my mother bought it new and I sold it 12 years later. Thought a new one would be great. My 2011 jku left me stranded for about a month every year I owned it. The last time was to get a new motor at 30,000 miles. Not buying another one until they get a hemi in a 2 door gladiator with one ton axles.

 

had many bikes, my fav was a Ducati. Something special comes along with being an owner, the brand did really well at developing status and loyalty, it was more than just about the bike itself. Even going to MotoGP at COTA and visiting Ducati Island, know that a lot of people were there to oogle but you had one in the garage felt special. I kept it the longest out of all the bikes ive owned, just sold it last yr to a fellow TW member.

 

No matter what they do with it, it will still be a Fiat. I liked the Gladitor the first time I saw one. Then I realized that it was FCA. I bought a Tacoma.

 

That's pretty standard for a Wrangler. I could buy a Cherokee, but not a wrangler

 

I had a 15. With the Pentastar V6 ran great, did well off-road and was very comfortable. I’m interested
To see what they are going to do with the next gen. I think ALL car companies can make shitty cars. If Toyota had no issues they would have no service departments. Yet every time I’ve been to the dealer they are pretty full. No real issues with my taco outside of some recall crap. My wife’s Venza when we had it I think the only issue it had was blowing the fuse for the 110v outlet it had. My friend is a Toyota but but his Prius is always in for something. Go figure lol.

 

Dukes are bad bikes. When I sold my GSXR it came down to a Ducati and a Busa. The Ducati just screamed passion the Busa was a fast as hell ride but they suck in the twisties. I ended up holding off and now I’m too damn old to be riding a sport bike.

 

The Gladiator is a cool truck but to get one like I would want it optioned would be super overpriced. It’s going to be new truck time in the next year or so but I don’t like the engine in the newer tacos and I will probably go full sized this time so we can tow a travel trailer.

 

You up late tonight

 

Good Morning Maner and Crew.

 

Morning Maner and friends

 

Good morning my fellow Manerites.

They use to be great, had one with straight 6 and love it. They went down hill though. Got rid of another I had last year. Biggest pile ever.
