Mod to bigger, knobbier tires. Remove any stock air dams. Add roof rack. Add heavy gear… mpg will fall
I’m at 19-20 with my Trailhunter, stock tires (shitty off-road, but good mpg), and roof box. Expect 18 w real tires. Lower if I move spare tire to rear
would love a kit to put a tank where...
I agree… the design seems annoying in this regard. I slid the attachment points all the way back in my Thule XXL box. It overhangs forward a fair bit. I keep that in mind when I load things in there. The door only barely hits it at the top I’ve set the door to stop just shy
Was just going to start a thread on this. I had a 5 tire rotation done at the dealer. After they got over whining that there’s no point to a 5 tire rotation, I get it back with a warning light that popped on a day later for low spare tire pressure.
i was also one of the victims of the early...
I’ve started hearing there are more differences… larger rear diff that maybe has a different ratio. Presumably the front diff would be different too. Curious how different the suspension components are, beyond just the shocks (knuckle arms look way beefier than my buddy’s 5th gen, which he...
Hi all,
Anyone have a Starlink Roam plan? I’m curious on how you mounted the antenna and routed power. Would love a way to have it powered from the hybrid battery and available while driving.
if you get the Roam 100GB plan, you can place it it Standby mode for $5/month. In this mode, unlimited...
Will compromise off-road travel if not disconnected.
Rear sway bar primarily affects front handling (and visa versa). While this makes sense for a track racing car, I don’t see the allure for our vehicles.
I've noticed that I get a message on the main screen saying something like "Settings successfully loaded" when I shift into Park... typically at the end of using the car... Is this normal? Why is it noting this at the end of using the car??
Perhaps related: I'm not sure my personal settings...
I like the benefits of a tune that increases power and smooths the transmission shifting, but I'm wondering if there's a tune that additionally changes the way the hybrid powertrain is used.
Watching how the hybrid assist is used, here are my observations:
- Electric assist used heavily for the...
It’s not going to benefit 90% of driving, but the cases when towing—this is when you create lots of heat in the transmission. If not cooled well, this is the downfall of transmissions. Within 100k miles, very unlikely to cause issues, but if you’re interested in beyond that…
I don’t know what...
