I doubt you'd notice any benefit from ANC for wet tire noise. ANC only works for very low frequencies in cars, for example at 50 hz the wavelength is 20 feet so the system can use a feedback microphone to cancel and it works even though the feedback microphone isn't close to your ear (like it is...

It depends on your reference point. Nobody is trading in their Lexus ES350 or Mercedes S class for a 4Runner to get better ride quality. Maybe the better question is how does it ride for a truck?

Most motorcycle owner's manuals recommend never using a high pressure wand because they can cause damage directly through high pressure or longer term by forcing water into places that would normally not have to deal with water like sensors, electrical connections, bearings, ...?

Came in handy when I learned why farmers use tractors and not SUV's. 🙂

The Limited also has A-TRAC doesn't it? I don't know how people feel about it but on my 5th Gen SR5 it's a nice option for the rare occasions I've used it. Not as good as a locker especially for frequent offroaders but better than just an open diff when 2 wheels drop into mud.

My main thought is that the right answer for you may well be different than for me. I'm near 10 years wirh my 5th Gen and also live in Michigan and I just do not mind shifting in and out of 4WD and if I bought a 6th Gen for myself it wouldn't be a big consideration. But for you a few things to...

Yes. I've never used the tie-down points in my 5th Gen. If you pull on them they are pretty solid. Ratchet straps might be just fine in most cases especially if the cargo is soft and can deform. The risk with ratchets is that one click can take you from too loose to too tight. Just seems like...

If you were able to clean it in a day I bet your rear window wasn't down. :oops:

Thule or NRS are popular with the canoe and kayak crowd for a reason...they never slip. NRS (nrs.com) gives you some choices in length and width. Ratchet straps should never be used with canoes/kayaks because they can easily crush any boat just like they could easily pull the anchor points right...

Unless you or someone you know has had excellent customer service at this dealer there is absolutely nothing "extra" you want to have done by a dealer now or in the future. Find a specialty shop with a good reputation...and start looking for a local mechanic with a good reputation. I don't even...

I like to mix them so EVERYONE can criticize me. I shoot for 2W/24.

About 12 inches to bottom of running board. In about 14-16 inches the front end gets light like a boat and steering goes away so the speed needs to be just right (like below 15 but above 0) and drifts are a bit of a thrill.

I read the TireRack ratings and they look just like the ratings for my Defender LTX M+S's. They look like a fine choice to me.

I recently met an architect that told me that Milwaukee was the best brand for light battery operated tools. Given that I have no good way of choosing and he's spent a career working directly with builders I would go with Milwaukee if I hadn't already bought Ryobi tools (which I've been fully...

You might want to look at a Passport Trailsport. Your wife will like the ride and it's a great street vehicle plus it will handle gentle offroading AND you could live in one even with no modifications. With rear seats folded flat you have a huge open space in back.

People want to pamper their vehicles. There's plenty of superstition so lots of variation in what folks consider crazy. It's not hard to find YouTube videos that suggest doing things differently than the manufacturer recommends. It's a topic where one will never know if frequent oil changes...

Congrats. Beautiful truck. In my simple mind all you need to do is go poke around offroad. I think you'll find that your vehicle is comfortable doing things that may make you feel uncomfortable. So go crawl over some relatively small obstacles and drive through some shallow water and climb a...

If you're going to use logic I also wonder how many followers the YT "experts" would have if they just said "follow the manufacturer's recommendations". That's what AI says too. Hmmm.

I have 3 Ryobi 18V mini chainsaws (1 of the smallest -like handheld trimmer, 1 little one on a long pole, 1 next size up from smallest) and all work very well and have been troublefree. They are all brave little tools that do a lot of work...but it depends how much work you need to do. Even the...
