    This time, no lifting.

    Think I stretched in the wrong direction. It's when I was drilling the holes in the ceiling to put up the hanging light.

    No slip disk, nerve damage.

    Yeah they're gigantic. That was certainly a downside. But if someone needs a decently capable, comfy family hauler and doesn't mind a bit of a pig, its a pretty good choice. I've never been in a Sequoia but I suppose that's the closest thing to it.

    No fun. Herniated disc here, sucks when it acts up. Too many people in the med field have told me to not do the surgery if I can at all help it so when it acts up I just try and really chill out for 24-48 hours.

    Oh damn, never knew.

    Sorry to hear that.

    My issue is nerve damage, and it only got worse as time went on.

    I've always liked Nissan's 4WD lineup. I don't have a good excuse for not getting into one. They were always in the running when I was looking at vehicles but I'd take the route I knew more about/was comfy with in Toyota. Looking back I probably should've given a Titan a go when I was considering one. If the new Armadas weren't so expensive that could've been great. Though I'm over MPGs in the teens right now haha.

    Yeah I don't wanna think about what it's gonna cost to fill this pig up before we return it lol. Probably won't be worse than filling my truck up with 91 at least

    I have sympathy for any/all lower back issues man. Its such a bitch and the weirdest and smallest things can make them flare up, that's one of the most annoying parts! Nerve damage doesn't sound good though.

    Ha, yeah I bet its on par with it. 14/19 mpg and a 25 ish gallon tank I think. Not a cost-cutter fuel wise

    Yeah I've heard Sequoias are just as bad. We are looking into getting a 3 row SUV for family hauling soon and trading in my wife's RAV4 but I personally hate feeling like I'm driving a boat around town. Gotta try and find something that fits the bill both ways if possible

    Three row is a tough one. People seem to like the Subie Ascent and Mazda CX9. I've seen a lot of Kia Tellurides around here lately too. At least they're all a little smaller and get decent mileage.

    Ah yeah I forgot about the Mazda. My wife's aunt and uncle have one of those and it hauls, doesn't feel as huge as the Armada either.

    Yeah and I'd want to be as comfortable as possible in something like that. Mazda would prob be on top of my list to try

    I've never driven an Armada or QX80. I like our Titan. Though it feeds my need to drive fast and I would most likely get tickets or burn mass quantities of fuel if I drove it on a regular basis. It just costs so much to build one compared to a Toyota. Maybe that isn't such a bad thing so I would leave it stock.
