I think the auto market at large has really steered away from practicality, fewer and fewer hatchbacks and wagons, nothing similar to the Honda Element. Instead the market (esp at lower price points) is flooded with compact SUVs which carry people well but not much else.
I think the strong...
Update here:
I ended up putting a 9 inch hitch extender on. It allows me to maintain the ground clearance and open the tailgate without interference. It definitely makes the overall vehicle length pretty long but I don't run the rack full time and this is best compromise I have figured out...
Does anyone know if the seat heaters draw off the 12v battery or the high voltage battery? I'd assume the 12v but an not positive.
Also, it seems to me the seat heaters warm a person with less energy than climate heat but I suppose that's probably hard to measure.
Similar question: any recommendations for a on-road focused all season snow rated tire? I don't need off road capability but I do do a fair amount of snow driving
Kuat NV has same interference issue. I'm currently debating putting a hitch extender or lowering adapter on the remedy, though I don't like either option.
There's another thread where someone successfully mounted one of the One Up models without interference
I was waiting for the author to make a case that buyers should buy as small as possible due to material consumption (both raw metals and fuel) to which I would have to concede is a good point if you're against the planet boiling in the reasonably near future.. however I agree with you they...
I've had a hitch mount bike rack (Kuat NV) for the last few years and love it. I had planned to keep using it but it turns out that when it's installed it interferes with the tailgate opening. (Tailgate can't lay flat even when bike rack is in flat position).
I didn't grab images of this...
I just received my XLT, I heavily considered going xl because I hated the orange and to a lesser degree thought the blue would look cheap.
I was very pleasantly surprised. The blue interior looks pretty dang good and I don't even hate the orange.
I had a 1993 Eurovan and a 2018 Fiesta which made a good combo. Then I got a dog, then I sold the Eurovan because it kept breaking down, then I had a child. The Fiesta didn't really make sense anymore. I wanted something that could carry a muddy dog and a family's worth of camping gear, mountain...
