Yeah, turning radius was one of my spreadsheet metrics to compare. At one point I looked at a Tacoma w/ 6' bed. The radius was basically an F150... Mav 40' Ranger 42.5' Taco 44.4' 6' bed Taco 46.6' F150 (5.5' bed) 47.8' Since I'm going from a XL Mav to a Lariat Ranger, I'll have front/rear...

I'm going Ranger - just can't handle F150 size in many of our campsites. Would love the F150 ride on long drives, and larger fuel tank. Similar mpg as Ranger too! Wanted towing tech and ground clearance. Ranger came out on top of a long, detailed review of options.

Go past zero. You won't go to jail or owe $200. and your fuel pump will be fine

$200 dealer profit is the only thing being tracked :poop: Hate that BS

Level kits are looksmaxxing for your truck.

Nice. Best way. Wow, funny but they probably want it back. BS money waste to spy on customers.

Dealer financed?

Yet more evidence that gas prices are not too high yet. (If you don't understand, slower = higher mpg)

Maintained by the book (aka OLM now), is perfectly fine for everyone and I wouldn't ask for more on a used vehicle.

I'd go AWD hybrid 4k, if buying today. Probably Lariat for the pro-trailer stuff too. My XL FWD hybrid gets 40 mpg combined for it's 30k miles so far. (and cost $24,940 in 2023)

What does your Owner's Manual say?

5.12 *update* - after a road trip to Yosemite, I'm at 29,999 miles now and 37% oil life, with 5400 remaining estimate = 14,500 for potential oil change interval. So it went UP, with some high speed freeway driving, medium speed foothills and a few short trips around the Valley.

The 1 year recommendation is also made to cover all vehicles and has so many compromises / assumptions built in... It covers the daily short tripper, the third vehicle that rarely drives, but goes on longer drives when it does, that one outside in the SW heat, or the one garaged in the NE, etc...

But it's got a hoodscoop!

You obviously have no "clue" about the scientific method.

YouTube influencer vs automotive engineer. One gets paid for clicks, one for designing engines/vehicles/etc. Gee, which one is the authority to listen to?

The big deal is the alarming clickbait YouTube video posted. Look at that frame grab in the OP. It triggers you to click it. That is annoying AF. Oh, and the thousands of others just like it. Its all just a waste of bandwidth.

cue the: "bUt tHeY DiD TesTING!!!" Oil analysis showing higher wear rates isn't real world impacts - show me a long-term study. Show me that 50 engines with early oil changes, lasted 200k miles vs 50 engines without that needed a rebuild at 100k.

Until I see a study that follows multiple engines in two groups - one with early changes, one without, which then must show a detrimental impact to HP/MPG/lonngevity/etc for not changing the oil early -- I don't see the reason. Glitter in the oil doesn't mean it is doing harm. The oil filter...
