    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    I just went back and forth to work the last couple days. 50 miles each way. My 50 mile best is 25.3 miles per gallon. My truck switched to V4 mode if I was at highway speed but not under load. I set the cruise to something between 55 and 62mph. When I checked Range vs Trip Meter, I had 330...

    Does not exist for the GM K1500's. It DOES exist for the Ford F150, though. Generally these are made for the 2500/250's

    Overland Dogs

    We were in Yellowstone last May. Gardiner entrance and rode through southbound to the Tetons. Stunningly beautiful. Trying to plan a return for this year because there is SO much we listed but couldnt get to for time constraints. Dogs really make the trip, the hike, the camp. The life

    Does she drive standard? Older ones (not TOO old) still have some manual trans

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    With about 6 inches less width over all. 7 inches less hip room and about 10 inches less shoulder room and a bit of tow capacity less than a typical "full size" GM truck just to name one manufacturer... I am no mod, nor am I a gatekeeper of any sort here, and not to be elitist...but the...

    Washington to Montana via Canada

    Last May we went Boston to Big Sky. One of the places I wanted to see was Going-to-the-sun Road. Another was Glacier NP. It was still perhaps a little early in the season and we didnt have time, given all the other places we wanted to see. I'd like to put together another ride out that way of...

    Subaru Forester Overland

    Then it looks like I will be looking at 2011 and prior.... Actually, was it a full on switch at 2012, or gradually. Like only in the CrossTreks at first, then the Forester, then outback and so on

    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    Something like 36- 37 gallons! Nice! I had two '90's big Chevy Blazers, k1500, Silverados. Those had 30 gallon tanks right where a pickup truck spare is, inside the tow hitch box. For a truck that got 16 mpg on the highway, that thing had respectable range and was far easier to park than my...

    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    Well, I've nothing against something developed decades ago. Chevy 350 engine, Colt 1911. And so on. As long as it was good when developed and stayed good. Yes, my preference would be manual transmission, which are harder and harder to come by in new vehicles. So I want 10 years old or so for...

    If you're going to ask "what vehicle is best..."

    If you're going to ask "what vehicle is best..."

    Maryann. That's all there is to it Jean short shorts and plaid tied shirt? CHECK. And she could probably cha ge a tire. Ginger? High maintenance pain in the arse, and doesnt look NEAR as good in the morning. NO THANKS. Might as well ask of Indiana Jones: Karen Allen, who can out-drink those...

    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    I think pound for pound, size for size the Subies aren't great on gas because they are all wheel drive, right? My girlfriend has a 6 cyl 2013 GMC Terrain Denali, and that gets the same fuel economy as my 5.3 liter v8 full size Sierra! We could have opted for a 4 cyl engine in it, but not in...

    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    I am very seriously considering an older Subaru Forester for my DD. Some Geolandar AT's, small roof rack for the kayaks, and very minimalist gear inside. Keep the GMC Sierra, which is my current daily, at home except for the big hauls. Either that or an older, early to mid 2000's Toyota Tacoma...
