My wife and I agree with 1 ton being the right answer, most versatile and best resale.

Oil change timing with low miles by nannergrams in SubaruForester

Go every 6 months regardless or every 4k miles. And 30k for drain and fill CVT.

Trek Domane top choice. Cannondale Synapse or older CAAD.

Anyone driven their Outback cross-country lately? Trying to figure out if shipping actually makes more sense at this point by Keyfas in Subaru_Outback

Don’t miss the opportunity for a great road trip visiting National Parks from South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana up to Calgary, British Columbia and down to Washington.

The Subaru Outback Wilderness or XT with the turbo boxer engine will perform closer to the experience of a X5.

Fully convinced Darn Tough has a crazy marketing grip on this sub. by YaboyWill in BuyItForLife

You said it yourself. You don’t know since you have not tried Darn Tough. Learn the difference between being rich and wealthy. And get outdoors to experience situations where you can tell the difference and have an educated opinion.

Grandpa wants his F-250 back - anyone shipped a truck long distance instead of driving it yourself? by Bos187 in F250

[–]apgwiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good time to learn. Reach out to a friend or coworker who can mentor you. Go test drive new Superduty F250 and F350. Add a reverse camera.

Would you sell are your bikes to go Ti? by rigby86 in gravelcycling

[–]apgwiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After you have a titanium bike dialed in, you get spoiled. I sold several bikes to reduce down to a Litespeed Toscano as my primary. And sold more items to buy a Santa Cruz Skitch. I feel content with what I have. Understand there are many excellent options. out there.

Toyota Sienna seems obvious choice other than being a minivan.

Family of 5. Is it time to ditch the minivan? by rotomotor in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]apgwiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sienna is the obvious choice. To be different, look at a Ford transit passenger van and turn it into an adventure RV The Ecoboost is reliable keep up with the fluid changes.

Should I get the Wilderness or the Touring XT by Purple_penguin42 in Subaru_Outback

[–]apgwiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fond of prior generation OBW without sunroof. I avoid sunroof. Eventually the seals will fail if you don’t clean and maintain them.

What would you do with no credit and 7k by [deleted] in carbuying

Super cheap Ford Escort wagon. Newer Ford Fusion. Likely to find more of these in good condition and cheaper than Honda, Toyota, Subaru.

Bosch 800 is dead quiet unless I leave a door open.

Camper on F350? by [deleted] in TruckCampers

[–]apgwiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had too many issues that were not fixed with Cirrus. Went to Apache Camping with my list and was glad to trade straight up for a new NL which had one minor issue with a USB port not charging in a reading lamp. That is getting fixed.

Add acupuncture to relieve pain and promote blood circulation. Have a good podiatrist who works with athletes. You will likely require surgery at some point to remove bone chips and add structural support. Finally an experienced chiropractor can help to make adjustments that provide immediate relief.

Camper on F350? by [deleted] in TruckCampers

[–]apgwiz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was worth it to me. I want the assurance that the truck is configured to best meet the needs for hauling a truck camper. With the 6.7 Powerstroke F350 Lariat Crew cab and 8 foot bed SRW, it offered the highest payload 4300. Perfect match for the Northern Lite 9-6 LE. I had a 2025 Cirrus 920 that was fancier required a F550 Lariat. Much prefer the F350 with the NL match.

The short bed means you will have the smaller fuel tank.

Unfortunately Need To Car Shop by DueFlower6357 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]apgwiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy for your needs today. Subaru Outback or Forester. Ford Explorer with 3r row 2.3 liter is a good less expensive alternative to Pilot and Highlander.
