What do you drive?

Recently acquired a new mobile:



2024 Toyota RAV4. AWD Hybrid. In my favorite (non)color. Planning on installing a GMRS transceiver soon.

Mama's 2024 Highlander, after driving the RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid, Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, this is what she settled on. Not a bad vehicle at all, has good road manners and a consistent steering feel.


And of course I got the hand me down '17 Arcadia

Looks nice! We took a week long trip to Vegas last week and my rental was a 2023 Limited. I drove it for a couple days complaining about how gutless it was compared to the 450hp/935ft lb's my truck has, until I figured out how to get it out of eco mode. Then it was a bit better, first other car I've driven in a couple years other than the powerhouse so I'm a little biased. I'd like something like this for a commuter but dang, they aren't cheap! Nice rig!

That's a 4runner, they are a little under powered. Mine is the bigger one the Sequoia, 437 hp 583 lb-ft. It should tow my sxs like it's not even there.

Ok, that explains a lot for me,! It looked cooler than that rental. I like the Sequoias, plenty of room for my 6'3" person. Those are respectable numbers from a gasser!

I wanted to like the 4runner but I'm a big guy too, no bueno.

Drove an empty Ford Transit 250 with the Ecoboost 6 the other day and I have to say the High School reckless Burt of old came out a bit. That box has some guts.

We had a few of those for plumbing vans, 150K without issues and would lay waste to all the other service vans.

Yeah my Promaster is the smallest one so not pushed much weight with the Pentastar6, but wowza that was fun.

I forgot to mention it needs a good bit of TLC, & it's similar to driving a war-torn Heavy tank

Sure, before all the damage. lol Traded it for my 98 2dr Pontiac GP GT, for the migration out here.

Rough as that nasty looking Inslee wife, but runs like a bat out of hell indeed. Fresh rebuild on the 350 just prior to me swapping for it

Some have done diesel swap and CUCV axle swaps along with CUCV parts on these Suburbans. Might be useful to at least get CUCV brush guards to keep antifa hoodies off the grill (joking...)

SO NICE! Especially on the right. Sporting a total Burban boner, now I do wanna do some thing's, to my 2 tone terror(Watchlist)though

Yup! The Suburbans, K series Blazers and K3500 (1 ton) pickup stayed old school until 92, then they were beaten into submission of the new body style...

Yes indeed. I got lucky landing the 89, year after the changed from the GIGANTIC UGLY square HL, to the 2x2 req

Somehow I missed the "1500" in the first post, which was a dead giveaway. Had an 85 for a while, how I miss that rig!
