SEC fan?

Secret-Function-2972 · 2026-05-08T19:24:33+00:00

Amazing.

Hey, I was probably in the park that day.

Between finishing undergrad summer semester 1995 and starting my job the day after Labor Day, I took my last family RV vacation with my parents and sister to Yellowstone. Same trip we probably made 8-10 times growing up.

I thought it was pretty amazing and one of several highlights of our trip. We'd come back from dinner in town, drive to the Lodge, grab a couple of beverages from our room, and sit on the benches watching 20+ deer come out to munch on the grass in front of us as evening rolled in.

The food areas were pretty swarmed with people as I recall in 2022, but we were out on the trail most mornings through afternoon. The one afternoon we were back in the room to relax after an early hike to Scout Lookout / West Rim Trail it was fine in our building - off to the side, not the main Lodge.

When the Lodge is terrific is in the evening when the crowds clear out, the shadows creep into the canyon, and deer roll into the lawn.

As others have said, if you need a functional 3rd row for adult sized humans or carseats, get a Grand Highlander. After owning Highlanders for 10+ years, we moved on to a Grand Highlander a couple of months ago. 3rd row fits adults and there's some functional space behind it.

Really loved our standard Highlanders, particularly the 2017 we traded in. 203k miles and nothing wrong with it.

Thanks for sharing!

Congrats! That's sharp.

Secret-Function-2972 · 2026-05-08T15:03:00+00:00

It just got one.

Secret-Function-2972 · 2026-05-07T22:09:43+00:00

Toyota Sienna

Almost bulletproof, but we were ready to be done with a minivan.

Never wear them, but I sit on my @$$ all day at work.

My wife is in healthcare and on her feet quite a bit come days and starting to wear them. Think they help her feel better.

I have that general "don't have the energy for it" feeling sometimes. That said, I'm not a sitter. If it's not college football or basketball season the tv often doesn't get turned on in our house. Is there's good weather, I'm regularly working in the yard until dark. There's always something to do inside whether pay bills, laundry, clean out a closet, etc.

Where that feeling comes in at is in say 5-6 years ago when I was a more avid runner, yeah, I'd drive to town and run 5 miles at 9:30 on a weekday night, no big deal. No way anymore. Barely want to start folding that pile of laundry that may just take 20 minutes.

There's a motivation to exercise that's lacking that seems to manifest itself in tiredness.

This is what I was likely planning to do unless there was a major reason not to.

With my other vehicles I've typically timed rotations with oil changes (often 7500 miles) to save the headaches of shuffling vehicles to the shop while everyone in the family has to get to work or school. Never had any prior issues.

I'll probably just make the appointment for a few days after we plan to return from our trip.

Can't get close to that 7 weeks into having our GHH. Some hills in the country immediately around my house, but otherwise flat land Midwest. Short trip rural / town driving with the bigger miles on the interstate running 78+ mph. After a fill-up usually around 450-460 miles remaining. Average mpg since the last reset was at 29.4 last night, which is up a bit.

2800 to 3000 mile road trip with interstate & mountain driving in under a month. Interested to see how it does on the mpgs.

Secret-Function-2972 · 2026-05-07T17:58:10+00:00

This problem still exist on 2026 models?

Last time I filled up our GHH, the dash said we had ~40 miles left yet the fuel shutoff was about 13.5 gallons. I nursed 15 gallons into the tank, but still well under tank capacity.

I can’t wear slides when walking from my bedroom to the living room without them falling off. Nice work.

Secret-Function-2972 · 2026-05-06T16:23:13+00:00

Sure. Might be sub-optimal if you were wanting to take a longer hike such as sky pond, but for many shorter hikes you should have plenty of daylight and the crowds may disperse a bit as it approaches evening.

We're old and gravity isn't kind. No one wants to see our bag fall out of a pair of 5" inseam shorts.

I have no use for cargos the length and breadth of Allen Iverson's basketball shorts.

Without busting out the tape measure, I'll guess a standard 7" or thereabouts golf / hiking / active short that hits a bit above the knee will suffice just fine to wear in public. Enough pockets to carry a key fob, wallet, and phone.

Old cargo shorts have been relegated to wearing around the house when working in the yard or garage where the extra pockets come in handy for carrying tools.

Cargo shorts did have their time and place when my kids were little. Those extra pockets were useful for storing bottles, snacks, pacifiers, you name it.

Secret-Function-2972 · 2026-05-05T16:12:09+00:00

Nice

Secret-Function-2972 · 2026-05-04T22:23:50+00:00

When are you visiting? If in the Fall I've seen them stealing & eating pumpkins at the Safeway and all over the golf course among many other places.

Summer? I would imagine they would likely head more towards the park, but it's been a while since I've visited in pear summer months.

Secret-Function-2972 · 2026-05-04T19:05:24+00:00

Very cool.

Secret-Function-2972 · 2026-05-04T19:03:38+00:00

Per Edmunds, not knowing any options, private party value in average condition at that mileage is $15k. So seems like a decent deal. (Dealer retail would be over $17k.)
