A few sand bags will hurt nothing except a little gas mileage. When AWD kicks in, the extra weight will provide better traction. As previously mentioned, it can help if you get stuck.
Will you be satisfied with a 2-channel dashcam? I am looking for a 4-channel system because I want to be able to record the front side windows in case of a traffic stop. Also, did you get an estimate for the labor to install your dashcam. Some dealers have labor rates approaching $200/hr., so an...
The dealership I used allowed $2K on a credit card, but they also allowed any amount you wanted above that provided you pay the 3% VISA fee they would be charged.
My thoughts exactly. Maybe a moderator can explain why such posts are allowed. Toyota has countless websites available for their fans, and I'm even a member of one being a 4Runner owner also.
Perhaps.
Yes, if there's no time limit, anything can be cut off; these thieves depend on a quick hit because sawing off a converter makes a lot of noise. It takes literally 1-2 minutes to jack the converter and be gone. If they have to cut through a 1/4" steel plate, they'll probably go on to...
They don't always crawl under the car, they bring a car jack, mostly travel in teams, many carry firearms, and can be in and out in 60 sec. or less. The demand for cat shields is huge, I can't believe some enterprising entrepreneur hasn't seized on this opportunity.
The Tremor is a uni-body crossover that is capable of some light off-roading. There's no low range, and the locker is a facsimile. It cannot compete with a 4Runner. Lower your expectations and you won't be disappointed. The Tremor is a great little vehicle offering much utility.
You see the over-hyped headlines (clickbait) on YouTube, and you'd think the Maverick's demise is only days away. Then you learn any serious competition to Maverick is still years away.
One part of the problem is the narrow parking spots Walmart offers, designed to squeeze as many vehicles as possible into a fixed space. Another other part of the problem are Walmart's customer base. Folks driving 10-20 year old cars don't seem to care if they scratch your new, pristine vehicle...
I've driven both and bought the Tremor. So far my driving has all been on road, and I attribute the smoother ride with the Tremor being due to it's softer suspension and longer travel. I found the ride in the FX4 to be more harsh when traveling over bumps and road imperfections. With no weight...
UAW is another union that should be broken. They add $2,000+ to the price of a new vehicle due to legacy costs, and the only real beneficiaries are the union bosses. US auto manufacturers are near bankruptcy, and Ford just took a $5 Billion loan from the government to stay afloat. Manufacturers...
Maybe there are cameras in the parking lot that store security will examine to see if the perp can be identified. This is why I'm currently researching options for dash cams that will help identify and prosecute such vandals should it happen to me. There are a lot of demented low-life...

If you live in a hot weather state, putting groceries in a cargo net in the bed is not an option unless it's canned goods. I covered the back seat with a full cover and got a couple of medium sized storage bins, so groceries stay in the air conditioned cab.
