Made sense in Australia where all sorts of creepy crawlys are ready to get in your tent with you and kill you. In the majority of places in the US, not so much... But damn they look good in the Starbucks drive through line.

True; maybe the only reason the admins are still looking the other way. Some of the real trouble makers have been banned also...

Yesterday, installed my new aFe washable dry filter after realizing how disgusting my factory filter already was after ~20K miles. Happy to see Ford got things right with ease of access for the 3.0 V6 (still remember the horror of my Land Rover Discovery Sport requiring about 7 screws to be...

Over/under on how quick this thread gets locked? ;) I think in the next 12 hours, but perhaps I am too optimistic.

More power to you. I always get bored with vehicles by around 5 years. I'm hoping to maybe keep my Raptor at least 6 to 7 (or more if nothing else similar is on the market and I can keep mileage down by getting a third vehicle), but we shall see..

I hope you don't plan on buying any more cars in the next 5 to 10 years at the rate we are going...

We took our older kid on a 3 day, 2 night trip on White Rim when he was 4 months old in late October (best trip I ever did with my 2016 4Runner) . People thought we were nuts, but we had a down bunting for him to sleep in (sub freezing lows) plus brought our dock-a-tot with us as a bed solution...

This is why I'm convinced that you see very few Land Rovers more than maybe 6 to 8 years old on the road now. For instance, when was the last time you saw a first generation Evoque (or hell, even a second generation Evoque). Same for Jaguars; I'm seeing very few F-Types on the road considering...

In general BMW is viewed as probably next to Lexus for reliability these days from what I've seen of the premium makes. More amusingly the X-series vehicles are more American than the vast majority of American cars (given the South Carolina assembly). Most of the people barking about BMW...

Yes on the Rover. Over the years I had flirted with getting one twice, but never pulled the trigger (a LR4 back in 2012 and then a Discovery Sport in 2016). We had really wanted a Defender back in late 2019 but they were running behind getting them out and the timing didn't line up. Ultimately...

A few years back was looking at premium compact(ish) SUVs. I honestly found the Stelvio to drive just as good as a Porsche Macan. Ultimately the crappy packaging (terrible cargo space, tight interior compartment) were enough for my wife and I to rule it out however. Ultimately got a Land Rover...

I'm late into this thread, but get it with white or light gray paint (most resistant to brush marking) and you'll be fine for wheeling out west. My Raptor's width has only been a liability for me maybe twice and keeps me off of perhaps 5% of trails with some prior research (mainly trying to...

As a proud former owner of a 2016 Trail followed by a 2020 TRD Pro, I completely endorse this statement! I liked my 4Runners but they were deeply flawed in many ways and after 100K miles in a 5th generation I couldn't wait to move on. I love my Raptor.

Agree with others, great post and thanks for sharing. Michigan is one of the few states I have actually never set foot in. May need to visit next year when we go cross country during the summer to visit relatives back east.

How is it different than a 2.7L 2 Door Wildtrak equipped with HOSS 3.0 other than appearance?

Nope.

Middle of day 4 of my recent Moab trip during the Southwest weekend of rain a couple weeks ago. This was after coming out of Arches via the Willow Springs 4x4 Road on our way up to Mineral Point (after 3 days of running through muck). Had way too much fun hitting flooded road at 40+ mph with...

Thanks for sharing all the pics everyone. Would have been there but was on day 4 of my Moab trip :). Full trip report coming up soon once I have time to offload our damn SLR and post some info up :). It was a fun one despite the wonky weather.

And added $1500 to the MSRP.
