Can we all admit a lifted diesel truck is the best all around

Epic thread OP

B8 thread, but you're kind of right. No one really needs a lift, and they degrade the drivetrain quicker. I'd probably want something lighter for off-roading with a better weight distribution, but they ain't bad. Diesel I'm kind of eh on.

>>17574314

Not that safe, prone to rollovers.

Wheelbase is too long and they're too heavy to be good offroaders, yeah you can make it across bumpy dirt but there's a reason people buy Wranglers.

I don't have a thing for overweight inbred country girls, maybe you do though.

Torque doesn't matter when a 200hp shitbox can still outrun you, yeah they can be legitimately fast when you swap the turbo but any car is fast with enough mods.

Sure the block/head will probably last 300k, but good luck getting the rest of it to without expensive maintenance.

Never underestimate a tuned brotruck. It doesn't take a lot to make them stupid fast in a straight line.

What's the point of lifting a truck without portal axles?
The ground clearance is barely changed at all.

I assume it's ironic cosplay.
There is no other reasonable explanation.

This costs the same and does way the fuck more. Subaru's have shit ground clearance, drink fuel like a V6 or even a cylinder deactivated V8 and awd is shit compared to 4x4 with lockers in slippery conditions. There's a reason why trucks out-sell them 7-1.

>>17577925
>there's a reason trucks outsell subarus 7 to 1.

Yes, and that reason is that you're comparing the sales of an entire class of vehicle to a brand.

>>17578003
Pick any specific pickup then and compare it. It's not even close. Trucks are superior.

Lifted anything is idiotic. You're wearing out your drivetrain and suspension and you've compromised the handling.

>>17574314
>lifted truck, must be a cuck

>>17576230
And you'll get more for it when you go to sell it because it hasn't been touched by some idiot too.

>>17577925
>There's a reason why trucks out-sell them 7-1.

That might also be because subarus dont market to deuchebags who just want something big for the aestetic. I grew up in northern MN and passed dozens of 4x4 trucks who couldnt get up a hill in just a foot of snow.

>>17577925
Colorado still uses considerably more fuel though unless you want to drive the piss-weak four cylinder, so it does in fact not cost the same. If you get 20 mpg instead of 25 mpg you'll spend hundreds of dollars a year extra on fuel for capability you may not even need at any point in your life.

>>17578054
You can get trucks with 2'' lifts from the factory, You can go a little higher than that if you do it right.

A a baby truck is 400lbs heavier than a outback and gets """roughly"""" the same mpg's thanks to 8 speed transmissions (don't subies still use a 4 speed auto? lel). And Subaru wonders why they get their asses kicked by trucks.

I constantly pass subuies, awd's, brotrucks, all with winter tires in my fwd car with all seasons in the winter. Winter driving is mostly skill. An idiot can put any vehicle into the ditch.

Diesel trucks have twice as much power and torque as its gas counterpart. Better MPGs for weight.

A 3/4 ton+ can tow as much weight as you can put behind it.

I just picked up a clean 2001 F350 SCLB SRW 4x4. 7.3 diesel with 266K on the clock.

Clean as fuck for a Wisconsin truck with just some slight bubbling on the cab corners. Seller was asking $6500 but I got him down to $5800 since it blew a brake line during the test drive. I was able to limp it back and fixed the line after 2 hours and $35 worth of parts.

On Monday I find out one of our mechanics (I drive buses) paid $4000 for a 2004 F250 6.0 that was completely rotted out and had a blown trans. Needs a new box, fenders and cab corners at the very least. Literally the only reason he bought it was because the head studs and EGR delete had been done already.

Wouldn't get a diesel, personally. I think half tons are the perfect all around vehicle, NOT 3/4 and 1 tons. Modern diesels are extremely finicky and even the smallest problems can cost you 10s of thousands of dollars. Older diesels are nice though, even if they are a bit underpowered.

Lifting fixes your approach and departure angles, and allows you to fit bigger wheels which increase ground clearance

I mean, a lifted truck with bigger wheels and tires suited to its terrain can be one hell of a vehicle and super practical - but I often get the feeling that, atleast in the US, the absolute majority who drives a lifted truck don't use it for work or any actual offroading

How dare you reply while my photo was uploading on my potato internet?

They're alright trucks. Underpowered when you're driving on steeper roads with a heavy load or a 1+ ton trailer (101hp, 240nm), but its very logically put together, solidly built and they're quite trouble free

Are they worth the extra compared to something like a Mitsubishi L200, or the Nissan Navara/Frontier? If you get an L200 and a Navara that works fault free for the entirety of its ownership then they are better trucks, but thats a big if

>>17582487
Not quite
I prefer SFA, sure - but compare the IFS Hilux to its IFS competitors like the ones mentioned above, and you will see big differences. I'm not trying to be a fanboy here, but the meme of the Hilux being the best built truck and unkillable has does pull some straws from the bale of truth

This is a very general description of how the different models have survived over the years, with me having tested a lot of 13-17 year old trucks while searching for mine

Navara/King Cab - YDD25 engines were all recalled for main bearing replacements as they wore out too quickly and fucked the engine, the rust protection is sub-par, stock clutch seems to not like the cold, AC is really ineffective. Ride is better than the Hilux

L200 - a decent truck, but they feel lazy, and the aged 4D56 diesel engine is very "meh". The ride is better than the Hilux, but not as good as the Navara. The automatics offered with them are nearly all worn out.

Hilux - often abused and ragged on. Usual spots of rust due to some bad design. Not a lot of power, stiff ride and limited options. Still, they tend to be in much better mechanical shape

These trucks are used the same kind of environments, and in the same kind of work and so on. We have all three models, several different years, at my work place, and our 3 Hiluxes (2 x 1995, 1 x 2006) are the ones that see the worst treatment and roughest use; but they're also the ones that have the least trouble
