    I drove a 22 Offroad DC for a week, didn't use it to really move large items though. Nice truck but was more than I'd ever have a need for.

    My wife's Rav4 has the 6 speed and it was a little different from the 4spd I'm used to but man, that thing can get nearly 30mpg even city. Highway I've gotten 35ish.

    As a former office maintainence person, I can tell you some stories about the women's bathrooms that would make you sick.

    I think Toyota is still killing it in reliability in some countries. just not here.
    the 2024 Series 70 Land Cruiser looks like it could drive across the desert. any desert.

    Land Cruiser -vs- Range Rover? lol! :rofl:


    see clip below: "007 just out for a little family drive". I don't think he ever clicked into 4x4 in this scene. Note also that the truck must be equipped with the secret "Toyota No dent Body and bumpers" option. Impressive! Not a mark on it.

    After having 2 Frontiers die under me, every day I climb into my 2013 Taco is like having a new truck.
