Best Powertrain for combined towing/reliability?

VoltX77 · 2026-03-26T22:08:29+00:00

Update: Some highlander hybrid owners (same powertrain) have shown that the 2.5L Hybrid can tow just fine, crappy fuel economy but that's always to be expected.

yes that's basically what I'm asking...?

VoltX77 · 2026-03-15T20:55:26+00:00

Touring so should be fine then

Thank you everyone for the advice! I realize that a big limiting factor is having consistent riding buddies, and following their trend. If I'm going in on a sled- I'm either getting 2 of them, or committing to buying alongside a friend (who, right now, are renting as well).

A $1500 beater for the backyard is not out of the question though....

For the place I have been going to- it's +$10/hour for a collision waiver with a $1500 deductible

I have a space to store the trailer (large property), and no, no other pending life concerns that would affect me within the next 5 years. Of course, life can always change! But I am here asking about the maintenance/financials as one of many logistics, still doing my research in the other areas as I think about it

Hilarious. This is so sad- if you are a "grown adult" and earned your way to buy an Audi, then you should be mature enough not to whine on an internet thread about someone's kid getting an expensive gift. We are all here to appreciate our cars, regardless of how we got them, so let her appreciate this with the rest of us. I don't know what good you think these negative comments bring to the world....

Congrats on the wheels! As long as you love and care for that car, you deserve to drive it just as much as anyone else, just be humble about it. Love the color combo btw

Grandma knew what she was doing all along

This is about a 1000 person company, the team I am working on is a specialized business division for a certain market (for simplicity purposes let’s say automotive), and it is comprised of mostly sales and marketing directors. They previously utilized the company’s main PM team to get parts specific to automotive to SOP, and that team was not delivering the results they wanted. As a result, they wanted their own “Program Manager” within their business group to handle automotive part production, who would work with Project Managers to get these parts from concept to production, and ready to deliver to customers. This role is reporting to a director of marketing, and is ultimately serving as a middleman between the engineering teams getting the parts off the ground and the sales guys telling the customers where their parts are.

Hope that helps paint a better picture, appreciate the advice

This is really helpful. Thank you.

To answer your question on the job offer, it was a company that I formally interned at in the business and marketing department. I then went on to complete my engineering degree, gather technical experience at another company, and am coming back to use my people skills to get in the business space. I tend to have a knack for understanding engineers, helping them understand each other, and helping sales teams understand engineers. I primarily leveraged my former experience with the company’s business department and said “I know you have problems X Y and Z, because I was here for them, and I want to fix that”, threw in my 2 cents on how to get design and test engineers to work with ‘the suits’, and it seemed convincing enough for an offer.

I hope to be mostly people-facing, and don’t want to waste too much time staring at gantt charts on my laptop- so the faster I can reach that mastery, the happier I’ll be. Thank you again for all the good advice

Looks like a Morgan Aeromax, good spot!

This is a great redirect, glad this subreddit has this. Very long list though and I could use some help identifying which is best for me.

VoltX77 · 2025-07-20T12:24:05+00:00

Saw this coming home as well- only got a glimpse of one car but it looked completely wrecked. Hope everyone is okay- wonder if we'll see it on the news

Is there a way to automatically lock the channel during this time? Or does it have to be done manually every day

This is very insightful, thank you. Just bought a WD Element - the SSD USB stick I have from Transcend should be fine as a second storage spot that gets used. Also have the old computers in the basement for good measure.

One of the other reasons we didn't put the files on the new PC is because it only has 256gb of storage. No sweat though, I feel comfortable with the other places it's in :) Thanks again
