Apologies for the late post, Gentlemen, but I just found this on another file.....please feel free to use it as wall candy, if you are that way inclined.

My sensible main driver is a Toyota Camry 4 cylinder. My other ride is a 2013 Toyota Tundra. I love my truck, but my 13 mpg 5.7 loves gasoline more than I do. My car hovers around 30 mph.

I have a 2012 F-150 with a 3.5 V6 and it was getting in the high 14's. I was using the stock Goodyear Wranglers with a mediocre load rating with 35 max PSI. I had damaged a tire on a rocky numbered road in Nevada. It had been plugged and patched but sitting over several months would have a slow leak. My wife hated and mistrusted that so I just put four new BF Goodrich's on with a more substantial load rating 55 PSI Max, I set mine now at 45 PSI and did a 200 mile jaunt out to the coast and went to the mid 16's on mileage. I have a longer trip in mind in July so I'll put the PSI to 50 or 52 and see what that does for mileage. I am just over 28,000 miles on the vehicle so It did not really need tires, but nag nag nag!

When you get new tires of course it will act like a new vehicle, but PSI has always been important to mileage so getting tires that will accept a higher PSI might help.

Of course you probably don't need ties yet.

Not that anybody cares about "malaise-era" vehicles, but my DDs have carburetors, manual windows, and a KILLER exhaust note...
Could I say "eFF Portlandia" any louder?
BTW, the 93 F150 behind the Lebaron is also mine. It doesn't have a carburetor, but it does have manual windows. Ironically, the 79 Lebaron is the only one with factory a/c... and it's crazy cold.

Likin' the wheel treatment on the Chrysler, jonnyuma.
Sets that car off very nicely.
...nuthin' wrong with carburetors, either.

The Willys truck came from a farm near Sherwood, Ore.

I drive a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara.

 

[DeanMk]

I wouldn't mind owning one of these!...

 

[seaprowler50]

What a cool ride!

I didn't see any mention of rod holders and down-riggers....................

I guess those are aftermarket add-on's.

This was me and BIL yesterday in North Wales, driving up the Horseshoe Pass near Llangollen in my 2002 Porsche Boxster - you'll need to turn the sound way up to get the odd howl that comes from a point just behind your ears....

It was almost 80F, BTW, for those of you who can't get your heads around Wales and sunshine in the same sentence.

A 2004 Ford F-250 long box Fx4 4x4 with a V10 that has been regularly maintained and not washed once since I bought it new at the dealership... I care about how my stuff works, not about how it looks.

 

[DeanMk]

Regular bathing lessens chance of body cancer and make repairs on the underside of the vehicle easier.
