Holy fuck, I wonder how much money Mazda gets for each one sold, and how much Toyota and Toyota dealers get.
In the past they'd at least put new panels and interiors, maybe even engines, and just share the chassis and suspension and such, but this is literally over 99% a Mazda.

Which is what I've been saying for the past few months now, you either do your own fucking thing and host what you want to do or don't host. I'm going to be hosting in a month again but I'm doing it on my terms and on my general.

>>13845249
Nah, I already have a series and tracklist in the works. I'm leaning towards racing vans and SUVs on city circuits just to be a special snowflake.

I live in Colorado and want a 4wd truck (maybe SUV). I have a few things I need it to do:
>haul street bikes to the race track
>haul dirt bikes to the trails
>go off road for fun and to access hiking trails
Jeeps are super overpriced here. Japanese mini trucks are also stupid expensive. Japanese SUVs are also relatively overpriced.
This leaves three options:
>full sized pickup, preferably a Ford or Dodge because solid front axle
>domestic SUV like a Ford Exploder or Chevy S10 Blazer
>domestic mini truck, S-10 or Ranger
My main question is would a full sized truck be a terrible idea off road? It would be the most practical for moving motorcycles, but also horrible on gas.
Any input, what would you look for?

An early 90s ford with a straight 6 isn't too big, reliable, and capable of fun.
(PS. I hate ford) can't believe I'm recommending one.

>>13845454
Dang ol ranger seems to be the best choice s10s of any year are trash
Stay away from cologne engines they tend to have problems
I got the 3.0 Vulcan in mine and it may be a little under powered but it does fine off-road also get the 5 speed the Mazda trannys are weak slush boxes
Also stay away from the carbaretted rangers they tend to be a pain too

Is there such thing as a bike that is like a car?
Kind of like what Richard Hammond drove but smaller and works better? With a trunk, windshield and things? With a fast top speed?

I had a magnet implanted in my right and left index fingers because I was working as a mechanical engineering student and was shadowing someone do there was a lot of hands-on work with metals.
After about a year, the plating was eroded by my blood in my fingers, and they developed little pus pockets that I ended up cutting out with a pocket knife, some gin, and some gauze.

Hey /o/. I see a lot of threads about trucks and 4x4's but they all primarily focus on fuckhuge fullsize trucks. I'm in the market for a new 4 wheel drive mini truck, like the toyota pickup, s10, hardbody, etc. My current daily/weekend warrior is a tired rusty nissan 720 that has taken every bit of abuse I've given it in the woods and still gets me 40+miles every week day. I need some opinions on the most reliable little 4x4 truck, I've heard really good things about the pickup/hilux but they tend to be more expensive and a lot of them are beat to shit where I live. I'm inclined to stick with nissan since my current truck has served me well but there's less of them around. No experience with 4x4 rangers, s10s, or dakotas so any advice would be appreciated.
tl;dr What is the most reliable 4x4 mini truck for me to beat on out in the woods and still get me to work the next day

just take s10's and dakotas off of the list from the start. they wont take the abuse that you expect out of them after owning a nissan. the ranger is a great little truck, our 4x4 ranger work truck has 325k miles on the stock drivetrain, is overloaded daily and gets beat on pretty good without problems. the tacoma is probably the "best" but like you said, they are overpriced for what you are getting

They're pretty rare around where I live, even if I could find a 5 speed 4x4 I'd be in the same boat as the 720 with finding parts for it
