You hate pick ups but your heroes have always been cowboys??? Missing the sarcasm tag or forget your meds this morning?
I really liked the old pilots. The new ones a a lot smaller.
“I absolutely adore Texas, just like SUVs and hate pickups”
Just curious; why do you “hate” pickups?
Europeans adopting white supremacist pickups! - mainstream media
Try a Honda Ridgeline pickup. Very good fuel economy and very roomy.
Don’t forget to look at the waterproof trunk!
Had a 2003, 2005 (totalled) and 2007 Honda Pilot.
We are very happy with our 2016 Pilot - seats eight and the AWD system is superior to the ‘03-’15 Pilot AWD.
Check it out!
Best!
“I really liked the old pilots. The new ones a a lot smaller.”
The NEW (’16 on) Pilots are enormous inside and get very good fuel mileage, especially for a vehicle that seats eight.
For years, pickup trucks made a fine little two-passenger coupe, with a great deal more utility. The addition of a rear seat and extended-cab and four-door models greatly blurred the distinctions between what the pickup had become, and the common two and four door sedans, with a great deal of practicality in terms of handling tough situations and durability, as well as somewhat improved visibility for the driver.
More than anything else, pickup trucks project POWER.
Something to do with male sexual apparatus, I think.
And you can never find your car in the parking lot when it is next to a pickup or SUV.
So what the heck am I trying to project with a van? Besides the number of children I have to cart around in it.
It looks like a carnival ride car.
Wife was chossing between a 2017 crv and a pilot. The pilot was a crv extended enough to add a 3rd row of seats. She didn’t like. Chose the crv.
...and they have something dinky hitched to the back of it!
I love my Chevy Silverado LTZ. I've owned pickups most of my driving life.
It all depends on whether the van is a crossover from a passenger car model (most minivans fall into this category) or if it is based on a pickup truck, with body-on-frame, rather than unibody. At one time I had an Econoline Ford passenger van, and it was about as tricked out as Lincoln Town Car. My daughter did not mind going to the prom in that one, and it would haul a boat - it even had a ball hitch on the front bumper so the boat trailer could be driven down the ramp, rather than backed down.
And dual fuel tanks. The days of excess are long past.
This is the basic passenger van on the one ton truck body. Needs to be with the horrible roads here. It has been lifted so that we can go over most of the rocks and bad potholes. The V8 gets us up some really nasty hills also.
Not the smoothest ride in the world, but it has only been stopped once here in Freetown.
Only if there's a halftrack option.
Tag axle? That’s some mighty payload capacity.
It’s too bad VW screwed up so badly on diesels. Their 3.0 TDI V6 would have made for a great powerplant in an Amarok.
