depends on your definition of off-road. Handles all the forestry shuttle roads just fine, but you're not going to go rock crawling or mud bogging. My highlander handles all the shuttle roads fine as well

but I don't think it would great for city driving.

spending a lot of $$$$$$ is never boring, ergo … spend money

We just brought a Nissan Pathfinder first new vehicle it had 0% finance tows 5000lb seats 7 made it from park royal to on the chair at blackcomb base 2 in 1 hour 40 in the rain without feeling scared seems ok on gas. The pretend 4x4-i seems pretty useful in more conditions the lock mode works no Bluetooth audio on the s or sv though

Just took a look at the new ones. They sure have changed, had a 1994 SE. The thing was bombproof. Got 250K out of the original clutch. Was so tight mechanically and drove the shit out of it. Saw it on the road last year, still going.

I feel like there's a cultural difference in trucks between Van and my neck of the woods. Out here a "regular" truck doesn't signify anything, apart from someone thought a truck was the right vehicle for them. In Van it seems like people feel a need to make an excuse to buy a full size truck or have to defend the choice because there's something wrong with buying one.

Vehicles like the Ridgeline seem to slide in between and let a Van buyer get into a truck without the guilty conscience. The new Ridgeline is a much better looking vehicle than the original one and with unibody design and Honda engineers you know it'll be a smooth ride. However, I know my next vehicle will be a full size with more options and features than I'll know what to do with.

A Dodge with the big V8 and air ride suspension is a damn fine driving truck.

Lifted trucks like that are common in northern Alberta and northern BC.

What about the RR Evoque?

And on the Sunshine Coast

I wasn't so lucky with my 93 XE. By 2006, the had frame started rusting from the inside out (apparently, a not uncommon problem in that era), and got so bad I could push a screwdriver right through it in some spots.

Other than that, it was great…accessed so many climbing and skiing adventures on sketchy FSRs with it.

I had some floor pan metal replaced by a welder friend at one point, it was my vehicle living in Whistler so probably was rotting. Was super reliable and was a great off road rig. Good times.
Heres one:

I had to get the drivers side front floor pan replaced as well. That was the beginning of the end.

With our first kid on the way, we ended up replacing it with a 7 seater 2007 Santa Fe, which has been great for family stuff, but not so much for non-paved excursions. I did manage to get it up the Chance Creek FSR to Tricouni once, when the road was in better shape than it is these days.

Once my girls are old enough for backcountry adventures, I think the eventual replacement for the Santa Fe will be a proper 4W4 pick up of some sort.

Doesn't the taco with 6 spd standard ONLY come with the short Box?

Toyota seems to change what Canada gets year to year. A few years ago I thing the 4-door only came in auto with the longer box???

You guys are saying the same thing, so yes. Long box double cab only came with the auto, manual double cab only came with the short box.
