71 years old here. I believe in changing oil with a warm engine and have burned myself under my Silverado many times. Ramps just take a minute, no jacking; I like the extra room.

Yes I did do the math and based on the .7 mpg loss I have read it is more like $10/month. Should depend on driving speeds and distances. I do not believe there should be any difference around town. Yes I do or did count Pennies.

Every time I go outside and look at the air dam, It is still on, I think about taking it off. It is ugly but at $6.00/gal I want the .7-.8 mpg gained. I changed the oil with air dam on, no problem. Used 6 inch ramps to make it easy.

I do not know if it is true for all trims. But if I run my rear window washer. It washes the camera. A lot better than my 2015 Silverado. Where I have the habit of swapping my finger over the camera every morning. I live in Portland Oregon where it rains all the time

I'm not an aggressive off-roader but I believe it really depends on what you are doing. If you find yourself with only three wheels on the ground it might put the fourth one down.

Under 49 CFR 567.4(g)(3) and 49 CFR Part 110, vehicle capacity weight (payload) is not a fixed number but is determined by the manufacturer. It represents the rated cargo and luggage load plus 68 kilograms (150 pounds) multiplied by the vehicle's designated seating capacity. I read that for most...

What I am wondering is does that little yellow sticker measure only things that are not bolted down. My non-premium trd off-road i-force max has a yellow sticker that matches the weight of the rubber floor and cargo mats (not bolted down/kind of). A Pro has a curb weight 230lbs more than my...

What I understand from the manual is that the GVWR includes the curbweight + optional equipment (anything bolted down) + trailer tongue weight + Vehicle capacity weight “payload” “Occupants + luggage” (things that can move around) 895lbs (1160lbs Limited). So those skid plates, roof rack, rock...

I just googled the payload capacity of a Honda civic. It is 850 lbs. I still feel that the payload number is something to satisfy government regulations.

I think the payload number is a bs number. It seems based on a government regulations, I think 49 CFR 571-100, that has to do with tire and rim selection. If I remember it is calculated as 150lb per person plus cargo. I think the Limited, 6 passenger, has a bigger payload than a pro. Again if I...

I finally got the aftermarket mirrors installed. I broke one spade in the OEM passenger mirror. Took a pair of pliers and a lot of wiggling to get the spade out of the connector. The drivers side (I did it second) was no problem. I did a little gentle wiggling and it came apart easily.

OK, who has some skill with connectors. They hate me. I bought some SUMA side mirrors; without turn signals. I went onto ALLDATE where Toyota says to just pry the mirror off. A little scary but not too much trouble. Now there are two connectors. One little connector with a lock I assume is for...

I do not believe they can meet CAFE Standards with a manual transmission. I drove manual for 30 years but 8 on the floor would be a pain.
