new daily driver\trail rig

[muskrat]

Well, I pulled the trigger on my new daily driver that I intend on wheeling.

2015 Toyota 4Runner Trail.

I know, It's not a EB.

After getting bored with car shows, I did start taking the 74 LUBR on the green trails at Gore and RC. Blast to drive on the green trails.

Now, I've got two to wheel!

Certainly wasn't going to go with a Heep!

The 4-runner is a great platform. I think it would actually suit my interests a little better than my EB does in ways... but I should not buy any more cars, I have 3 and the EB gets neglected too much as it is.

Yes, rice burner. My father in law is a died in the wool Ford guy. Been selling Fords all his life on the big island in Hawaii, but the new explorer is not an SUV, its a car, regardless of the family discount.

Other than the 4 door Wrangler, there are no more body on frame SUV's built by American manufacturers. The Heep Grand Cherokee is a unibody now also.

I suppose if I was an auto executive, I might not build a body on frame SUV either. The car chassis cross overs are bigger and ride nicer for all the suburbanites that drive around the malls. Plus, other than me and a few others, who actually takes their newer SUV's off road?

I seen a few folks take their new vehicles like an FJ off road. And scratched/dented it up pretty good whoops

Hope your new DD works good for ya brother

Glad to see I'm not the only one

the Wife's FJ gets road pretty hard. My oldish (2008) single wheel diesel tow unit has been places that folks left there wheelin rig and walked.... Part of the reason i went with a dually this time, I'm less likely to say "yeah I can drive there" it just doesn't fit... hahahaha
