Ned Yost in an idiot.

How is drunk spelling or drunk texting still a thing? Even when I'm goddamn ruined all of my texts are spelled and punctuated almost as well as they are when I'm sober.

Do other people still believe this or..?

you must party like a bitch bro

Gross. My company looked at a bunch of SUVs for use as a fleet/commercial vehicle (sales travel + during heavy delivery days). That Nissan gets horrendous gas mileage (under 15 MPG with city driving) and the interior in the 2015 was not something you'd expect in a 2015.

We ended up going with the Mercedes Metris (cargo van) so no real help.

I wouldn't get an off-road vehicle for a fleet vehicle either.

sounds like the best bet for what you're looking for

Yeah, I think it is going to boil down to one of those or an Xterra. Depends if I want a winter family car or a proper off-roader.

I haven't worked on the 2015 xterra's but I have worked on earlier models. Not impressed with their build quality, or interior, for me they were very uncomfortable, not the most reliable things on the road either. Lots of weird electrical issues on those things.

The 4runner would be the better option, however if the tacoma won't fit in the garage I doubt that the 4runner would. The 4runner is a massive SUV, though it has a lot of utility.

Honestly, if you're looking for just something leaning towards more of an ecnobox/grocery getter that is also fun to drive I would get a Subaru. Even the sporty STI's have higher ground clearance than most cars due to its rally heritage. The forester is always a good option, if you want a sportier car and don't want to spring for an STI or WRX you can always get the Legacy. Decent handling, good get up and go for an economy car, four door vehicle with plenty of room in the back, and of course AWD. It also has a performance model that won't set you back as much as an STI if you are so inclined. The outback is also a good option.

The Mazda CX-5 and CX-3 are also good options for inclimate weather, it has 4wd options on it, and I find them to be very solid vehicles. I know several family friends with these cars and they haven't given them any problems, and they get good MPGs. They also don't look to bad while doing it.

The Ford Edge is also another option. My father owns one, and it's been a great car, though you should avoid the ecoboost engines at all cost. Ecoboost engines offer good performance but are riddled with problems due to the lack of tools to deal with the carbon build up. You can get them in awd, they are comfortable, have good power, and have decent ground clearance.

Now... that being said avoid the Toyota Rav 4 at all cost. It has 4wd system but it's superficial at best, the new models are also riddled with problems.

Thanks, good comments. The 4runner actually does fit. I just have a length issue, and the Tacoma only barely doesn't fit. My only issue with the 4runner is that it is quite pricey imo, as are most Toyotas, and more than I am willing to spend new, but used is an option. The Xterra I would be willing to get new, or save a ton used over a Toyota.

I was already looking at the Mazdas (used to own a Miata and loved that car), and I will look at the Edge too. I see them in the same category as the Subarus, AWD CUVs, not proper 4x4s.

get a subie, put a trailer hitch on it, and buy a decent trailer for it so you don't have to rent a truck anytime you need to haul something

We can't all be perfect like you. Hell, autocorrect fucks me over when I am sober.

Here is that message again:

Not a bad idea at all. Never owned a trailer, so would have to learn how to drive one, but I imagine it can't be that hard if you aren't super retarded. Hitched and moved boat trailers around before, so not totally foreign to me.

my father in law has a hitch on his corrola and i'm always amazed at how much he manages to haul with his trailer.

April Wine has never won a Juno award.

you ever have one of those days at work where you have 10 things going on at once, everything seems to be slightly fucked up and stacked against you, and then your wife calls. Now of course you cant answer the phone because every other person in the company needs you RIGHT THEN AND THERE also. You call back 20 mins later and she gets pissed because "you never answer my calls"


am i wrong to completely cuss her out? can i punch her when i get home?

I once ignored 4 calls at work from Romowoman and she needed to go to the emergency room. The guilt is real.

lol why do you have two thumbs down?

Anyhow, I'm assuming you live near the Seattle area right? What are you planning to do with your vehicle? going to take it off roading? Or do you perhaps just live closer to the mountains? Out of all the vehicles I mentioned the 4runner is by far the most off road capable, and most reliable of the lot, even in its stock configuration. It's a heavy duty body on frame vehicle, with good ground clearance and really beefy components. You look underneath that thing and it looks almost like industrial equipment. This SUV would give the Jeep Wrangler a run for its money off road, yet it's also more comfortable. Another option for the Toyota's are the FJ Cruisers, not the best gas mileage, but very reliable, and comfortable. They're sort of a modernized version of the FJ40, I believe they stopped making them in 2014. The interiors are a little bit funky in these things.
