I saw enough to see your MPG is close to zero. That’s kinda familiar territory for me.

So, I'm at the point where I'm ready to make a move. Sure, I'll miss South Florida after all these years but think the time has come where we need to go. Our other daughter would still be a bit over 2 hours away but think we'd see them more as I won't be working once we move so we'll have more time. And my wife will keep her current clients if they choose to stay. Think it'll be a good thing to explore a new area.

Confused about one thing though. I know Chevy also has a Trailblazer vehicle. Looks to be similar in size to the new Trax so what really is the difference? Only thing I could come up with is maybe the Trax is small SUV while the Trail blazer being a small CUV. Haven't driven a Trailblazer yet so nothing to compare here. Also curious if both vehicles have a 4-cylinder engine or does one of them have a 3-cylinder one. Don't understand why they'd go with a 3-cylinder like the Mitsubishi Mirage? Just too small I think for any vehicle to drive on a major highway. In the city with all the stop & go traffic, sure. But on an interstate? Would not want one.

And in first gear! I know, but could only do what I could do. I was just happy that my wife was willing to let me take the photo.
Also, yeah, we were going up a hill at the time, so the economy meter was letting us know…

I could probably deal with a standard cab 6.5’ bed half ton. Other than being so wide with an overly tall hood.

Yes, that's what I meant. The double cab is what makes it look ungainly.

I’ve mentioned this before but it still applies.
I talked to 2 contractor guys, one at each of the big box lumber yards a few years ago. I told them their truck looked out of place these days and they both asked me why. I said, “your truck only has two doors”. They both replied, “ I need the bed space (8 feet) more than I need 2 more doors”. Since they both said the same thing, I’m inclined to believe they’re right.

Had “my” 1st not so great experience at the Toyota dealer’s service department. My service advisor is out on personal leave indefinitely. I called up Monday to make an appointment for the Camry on Wednesday (1st service/radio issue) and the Highlander Thursday (oil/tire rotation/ slow leak on. Tire they installed last time). Got a call today saying the service (tire rotation) was performed, but they couldn’t replicate the issue I was having with the radio. Ok fair enough.
Since my wife was on the other side of town with the Highlander, I figured I’d just have her pickup the Camry & Drop Off the Highlander. Figured since I called up and made the appointment this would be simple. I should have known better. The service advisor (not my regular guy) is telling my wife that the car needs an alignment, the tires need to be rebalanced, the ac drains and sunroof drains need to be cleaned out. She called me. I said, just the tire rotation and the tire with the slow leak. Then it took them forever to pull the Camry up.
Again. Just a slight blemish on an otherwise stellar record since 2019.

though on the way home she did pivot back to I should just get whatever I want because she does not drive much, and could always drive the truck if needed, but I would need to make her use that a bit first to make sure! will probably be nice and if we finally get something new, I will make it something she doesn't mind driving. And she did say she didn't care about it being a manual since she does know how to drive one.

I’ll field the other side. It is disquieting to pull a truck into a parking lot full of normal size cars who can’t seem to center themselves in the lines.

Easy fix - just park where the other big rigs park.

The worst is Citizens Bank Park. I hate taking my truck there but have not always had a choice. A lot of pickups and the spots are narrow. I always have to fold in my mirrors.

The Kia dealer has always been easy to work with. The Ford dealer was ok when my son’s Fusion needed work but very expensive. Thankfully this is all warranty work.

Farmer, which ford dealer do you use for service?

Interesting. Does it only apply to loans or leases as well?
