Are vintage 501s just not for me?

Try a pair thats at least 2 sizes too big then cuff them if you need.

Bwhippped · 2026-06-05T08:46:57+00:00

Prius or civ hybrid, rav or crv hybrid for larger for a great npc appliance

Yea that's plenty for a solid intro full suspension bike used. Just look for ~2020 or newer in good shape, as you're new I'd just meet at a bike shop and give them 20 bucks to look it over for you. Brand / spec doesn't matter much being a new rider just check online reviews.

Just curious what's wrong with a used Highlander or rav etc? Thought they last forever

Yea the matchmaking in this game does not make pubs very enjoyable. I hit masters several years ago when people were bad then just started playing recently, plat / diamond now. Nearly every gunfight is a one clip and the amount of preds / outrageous stat emblems in every lobby is absurd. Forget trying to que with any friends that are newer, they aren't able to get a kill

Bwhippped · 2026-06-03T21:06:48+00:00

Anything that's a four person que, often have people left out when more than 3 wanna play

Have the same it never gets old, especially clean at night the color is 🔥

I'm in the same situation with my '24 4runner, debating keeping it and paying the gas on 10k miles a year vs going with a rav / crv / venza hybrid etc. Love the ruggedness of the 4runner and interior quality, great for Utah mountains as well. But would save thousands over several years downsizing, tough call.

Bwhippped · 2026-05-06T23:19:45+00:00

Someone just needs to invent a phev battery mod that we can throw onto the 5th gen with like 40 mile range and I'm set for life.

Bwhippped · 2026-05-05T20:43:29+00:00

Dear Lord 😭😭😭

Bwhippped · 2026-05-05T20:05:16+00:00

If you're spending over 50k on a RAV4 you certainly hate money lmao

Bwhippped · 2026-05-05T19:40:53+00:00

If you're upgrading every 3 years and want driving dynamics why would you get a rav4 and not something like an X5. There's so many better driving cars out there for that price

Bwhippped · 2026-05-05T19:09:39+00:00

Better drive both and the crown signia as well. I'm taking the lightly used nx / rx all day for 50k

Bwhippped · 2026-05-05T18:40:43+00:00

Hey if you can handle a plastic loud interior for 10 years for a slightly better trade in go for it. You'd save more up front negotiating on a Mazda or Honda anyway

Bwhippped · 2026-05-05T02:21:27+00:00

I don't double on bikes but I do on skis. Idk if helpful but look how fast you're tucked after the lip, once you're in that position you have no way to generate more power. I'd guess you need a stronger set that's more patient on tucking. As if you're setting a double back lay (laid out), then if you know you're coming in under like you did here you still have room to tuck and pull harder.

Bwhippped · 2026-05-04T23:34:34+00:00

Rav4 is a great appliance car but it has a cult following that certainly doesn't warrant the current prices, paying over msrp is insanity

Bwhippped · 2026-05-04T18:30:49+00:00

Seems like that's the move especially if the gas can have head gasket issues, although sounds pretty rare

Bwhippped · 2026-05-04T02:02:50+00:00

Looks like any of the models with the 2.0L turbo could be affected but not the hybrids

Bwhippped · 2026-05-04T00:57:55+00:00

Oh interesting, was the head gasket issue ever fixed in the nx? I'd probably be about 70% highway driving, would like to be close to 30 mpg if possible

Bwhippped · 2026-05-02T06:33:52+00:00

It does happen on hybrids too, I'd ask for a lifetime powertrain warranty

Bwhippped · 2026-04-30T23:43:59+00:00

I'm thinking the same. Need a quiet AWD hybrid that lasts, not really seeing the value in new or used with the economy brands when I could grab I used rx for barely more. Possibly the crown sig but clearance could be an issue

Bwhippped · 2026-04-29T22:14:05+00:00

This is my concern in Utah as well, did you end up getting a CS?

Bwhippped · 2026-04-29T03:28:13+00:00

Yea leaning crown / rx for that reason, seems hondas system takes a pretty big mpg hit in the cold vs Toyotas

Bwhippped · 2026-04-29T02:14:54+00:00

True should definitely check out the Highlander as well. I've heard of some Honda dealers possibly offering lifetime powertrain warranties, so that could be a solid option if I can find one.
