I drive my ’02 Dodge Durango. It was the first new-off-the-lot car I have ever bought. With the off road and towing package, it keeps the “sports” and “utility” in the SUV tag.
I washed as recently as sometime in 2011, as best as I can recall.
It has been remarkably reliable for me. It also tows my PUP (which is heavy, as far as PUPs go) just fine.
Since 2008, I have used a different vehicle (a coupe) as my daily driver. No plans to get rid of either vehicle. That’s how I roll.
I’m still in my 02′ Explorer Sport Trac, 115,000, lousy gas mileage and just runs and runs, as well as being paid for.
Has been completely reliable with zero issues other than standard maintenance. I did install new bearing hubs, rotors and brakes at 100,000, but that’s just me being anal about taking care of my “stuff”.She who must be obeyed has a 2009 Honda CRV, great car.
My other sled is a 1960 Austin Healy 3000 that I did a ground up restoration on many years ago. A true throw back of a classic British sports car and an absolute blast to drive although the police in my area have scolded me a few times.
My black lab Crusher will ride shotgun and with my fishing gear in the back seat we go off in search of a quality spot to wet a line. Great way to spend a fall aftn. before archery season opens.2012 Tundra. Gets 12-17 mpg. Usually about 12. Just drove 1600 miles round trip to the Keys and not a single gas station was passed.
I found that I usually get better gas milage if I turn off the traction controll system all the way off. Press it once, then press and hold for three seconds until you see a light come on. Then press and hold for another three seconds until you see that other light come on. Yes, pressing a button three times seems like overkill, but it is the only way to turn it completely off and turn it back into a normal truck.
