looking to get a small truck for my biz. I want the smallest truck that can tow my foxbody and still be able to go offroad and be fuel efficient. Budget is 3k but I can wrench.

Is there any reason to get an s10 over a ranger? I'll consider others but the parts availability is a big deal for me. Any years/models I should avoid? I also want to build a hydraulic lift for loads like pic, because it would be cool.

its within official capacity for the 4.0 v6, and I just want it to be possible, not comfortable; and if I'm being honest I will probably be putting bikes in the back most of the time instead. I've towed it with an edge with no issues.

A small hand full of cool cars from the 70's. Most were big, ugly, slow and gay grandma barges. Drum brakes, a/c was optional and you might not have power steering. Truck suspension and leaf springs. No thanks. Factory AM radio. Extra special edition had 8 track.

Those are BBS wheels. BBS did deals with manufacturers like BMW and Mazda to sell their wheels as an add-on. The link above should help you find them. If not, google "BMW BBS wheels" and you'll find a ton of them.

Going across country with a modded car.

My car has a high flow cat, headers, intake, and an exhaust with a burble tune. It's really not that loud and the burble activates high in the rpm range.

If I drove across country, what are the chances of me getting into legal trouble with it? As long as it's not loud and a have a high flow cat should I be fine? It's just a normal Corolla, but the exhaust looks aggressive.

Owned a 2020 corolla 6mt for a bit, whatever you do DO NOT aggressively use 1st gear, the wheel hop disconnected my steering rack from the subframe, sold it after Toyota couldn't diagnose it until the 5th visit (was under warranty still, or would have gone elsewhere).
Suspension was nice and supple though, which was probably why it hops so bad.

I've only spent $1200. I could get all chassis stiffners, motor mounts, shifter bushings, coilovers, tires, track brake fluid and good brake pads for the remainder. It will definitely feel like a more purpose built fun car with those mods. I wouldn't trust the GR stock on a track.

>>27842460
The rear motor mounts are super soft and they are pretty much all broken after 100 miles. It's about $70 and really easy to do. Highly recommended.

>>27842337
Same chassis, body, and interior? Idk man, I just see the GR as a cash grab. It's nothing but fluff. The EPA is still cucking your "rally" car. Also your rear diff is going to overheat on the third lap. The 2 liters can run all day and stay cool.

>I just see the GR as a cash grab. It's nothing but fluff.
Hard disagree but to each their own. I'm just saying you can enjoy modifying your car or whatever but to say it's funner then the GR is mental.

>Same chassis, body, and interior?
Body and interior yes, but the chassis and suspension specifically are a rally world apart iirc. Between that and power boost it's the funnest Toyota hatchback ever created. No amount of tuning to the base models can achieve, without totally usurping the cost. We should have been offered the Yaris GR here in NA, so the Grolla is a compromise, but still

The tip is the only reliable thing on that car.

>>27842100
However an even MORE important thing you need to remember if you buy it is to NEVER under any circumstances let the car idle to warm up to temperature. Just get in it and drive. If you don't, you'll definitely be replacing the engine.

Esp for the UK that's kind of a lot of miles, plus awd, plus tip means it's prob not going to be as fun as you think it is.

>how often should i change my tranny fluid?
Never, there is many cases that it is damaging itself and the used fluid keeps with the damaged slivers resulting in it going longer. Depends on the tranny. in Many cases it is best to keep it until it finally stops working as swapping the fluid may result in it just dying at that point.
You should just let it go as normal until it begins to slip or outright dies. After that just replace it with another that is newer with less mileage/wear and tear.

The #1 issue for EVs isn't reliability, range, Tesla, etc. It's that most people don't have anywhere to charge them. You basically need to own a house in order to own an EV, and this is getting harder to do in the US, not easier. Most apartment buildings don't have chargers, most offices don't have chargers, most parking lots don't have chargers - and even if they did, you don't want to have to randomly charge you car whenever you happen to be at these places.

most people who have houses also have condos
single family detached with enough garage spots for every car is almost a statistical roundoff
any way you slice it the requirements of everyone having an EV is 700 quadrillion dollars that dont exist because the average american is a slovenly useless retard and trending downwards to a 75iq shitskin
EVs need mass adoption to become cheap enough to be viable so they will always stay at boutique bullshit for rich people to pretend theyre saving the environment until battery tech becomes exponentially better
