    Tent Security for wondering child

    Sure, sleeping across the doorway is a good idea. Putting your bag in the doorway, I like that too. But no, wife will not likely enjoy a tent to herself. If they have a child together that suffers this condition, she likely wants to be right there with him and wont want to trust anyone else to...

    Bronco vs 4Runner

    Havent touched the new Bronco but drove a current generation Toyota 4Runner 2600 miles to Fla and back. It was a great ride. 3 people, a Beagle and our luggage and gear and no complaints about the vehicle at all.

    Tent Security for wondering child

    I second the idea of a small padlock for the tent double sipper door flap, especially if you are inside the same tent and have the key. Another thought - and not so easy - get him a dog. If you are able to invest in, or qualify for any special entitlement to it, getting your son a specially...

    2022 Silverado ZR2?

    Wait a minute...did you just say that the SSR set a bar? Sorry. I can not agree with you on that one. SSR? I think the GMT400 truck platform certainly set a bar for design, and that's modern history, and was a design change well before Ford made thiers. The original Chevy Blazer hit a bar so...

    2022 Silverado ZR2?

    Ah, yes. Well, wants vs needs, ok. So, you have a Bronco, or test drove one? Sounds like a great truck

    Pathfinder

    Only you know the mileage, condition of the frame, and how the thing is running. You are better off looking at local listings for similar vehicles and plotting where yours fits in, and coming up with a price that way

    2022 Silverado ZR2?

    @ 9:36 "...with the Silverado, there's a cluster designed for everybody!" Or so there goes your proof, ha ha!

    2022 Silverado ZR2?

    Look, I'm right there with ya.. ive said it many times: my first truck was a 90 or 91 Chevy K1500 single cab, short bed, bench seat, 305ci, 3 speed in the floor. But these screens are how data is being presented these days, thanks to the iPad generation driving now. I dont like it any more than...

    2022 Silverado ZR2?

    I liked the Trail Boss when it came out. It seemed like going back to what the original Z71 used to be. But it was clear it was no Raptir competitor, but great for going on mild trails and camping. I wondered when they would get serious against the Raptor. Seems like the engineers wanted to blow...

    2022 Silverado ZR2?

    Firstly, I was excited to see the commercial during an NFL game where the GOAT pulled yet another trick out of his hat at his age. But after the excitement settled down I realized I am of 2 minds on this. I'm still glad for it. Taken in a vacuum, this Silverado ZR2 looks like a blast! I sure...

    2022 Silverado ZR2?

    While I am not a Doge fan, I'm not 100% sure you are right on this. The Hemi Wrangler had been long pined-after. Win. And thier infotainment systems (U-Connect?) Is award winning. I can see why. We had a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon (6 cyl) as a rental a couple weeks ago and the infotainment system...

    I have 3 options. Which should I start with?

    I'd leave the 2021 Toyota 4RUNNER out of it, even thought it's a great option. Reason being its brand new so has a warranty and needs to be your wife's daily driver. The venerable '90 4Runner sounds like a great vehicle to use as your daily. I'm a big fan of those, really cool. If its stock...

    Gear for starting out? (Check my list!)

    Hitch basket IS sub-optimal, I agree. But if one isn't putting it on the roof CORRECTLY, better off a lower center of gravity. Sub optimal solution with a bad departure angle, is all I'm thinking.
