I am in Louisiana and looking for a small compact suv with good gas mileage. I found one listed at 15k with 100k miles. Wonder if this is a good car.
We are expecting twins and trying to figure out the car situation. Right now we have a Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima. I am 6ft 3in and normally have the seat all the way back. Will 2 car seats fit in the back of these cars of a compact sport utility vehicle (ex. rav4) with the seat all the way back?
Hi all!
I was wanting to get any information from any of you who have done similar to the below:
I want to start with getting a set of 15" rims, correct width, and enough room to increase tire size.
I want to throw on a utility rack on the top of the car, and also a uhaul hitch to tow a small trailer. (Probably a 4x6 or 4x8, nothing too big, as it only has a Tow capacity of 1500)
And possible a trunk cage that holds onto outdoor equipment like a shovel, gas canister, emergency tent, etc.
Anyone have any experience with this?
It seems to me that all SUV nowadays are all just for moms who don’t want minivans or “grocery getter’s” as I like calling them. Nothing you’d take into the woods or do actual work with. Does anyone know of any suvs that are still suvs and not luxury vehicles?
For context, Im a guy who owned a 2002 Ford Explorer up until recently and was looking for something newer and found everything made in last 10 years seems to be made for a soccer mom.
MSU Halo has one of the only off-road autonomous vehicle proving grounds in the world, where they’ve been testing Ouster lidar. The team had three Ouster lidar units on their vehicle - one to scan the horizon for objects and potential obstacles, and two to map the terrain directly in front of the vehicle. The horizon scanning lidar on top of the vehicle fed data into a neural network used to classify objects and generate a 3D occupancy grid. The other two lidar sensors were mounted on the front of the vehicle, tilted on two axes, to ensure that the beam paths are fairly normal to the ground and that all of the beams intersect the ground in front of the vehicle. Using the data from these three lidar sensors, the team could precisely model the terrain in front of the vehicle to complete traversability estimation.

I think that an all-electric mobility is not sustainable if everyone has its own car for private use.
The only way to be sustainable in the long term is to replace private ICE Cars with electric public transportation (trains, buses, car sharing etc...)
Looking for a used [something] in the under $30k range (could possibly go a smidge higher but would rather not). Hard requirements are: 3rd row seating, 4WD/AWD, 4000lb-plus towing capacity. Want something somewhat utilitarian that I wouldn't feel bad about hauling a few bags of dirt in or climbing into when I'm all sweaty after mowing a yard, but that still has some creature comforts to make it comfortable for long road trips for a family of four. Planning on taking this on camping trips, while I don't need real offroad capability I don't want something as low to the ground as a Ford Flex, either. I don't want to go as large as a Suburban/Escalade/Expedition. Needs to have good legroom for a tall driver. Want something I can drive for a number of years, reliability is important.
Right now the top of my list is a 2016 Toyota 4Runner, but they tend to sit a little above my price range when specced with third row, and I'm worried about their legroom. (I haven't made it to drive one yet, I'm trying to find someplace local that has one specced like I'd like.) Currently in contention: 2018 Dodge Durango (this would have normally been my choice except for its abysmal reliability ratings - I'm actually upgrading from a 2004 Dakota I loved), 2016 Kia Sorento (very comfortable, good reliability, maybe a little _too_ posh). Possibilities I haven't driven but need to: Ford Explorer, Buick Enclave (not generally a GM or Ford fan, though), Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, VW Atlas, Hyundai Santa Fe.
Are there any good options I haven't considered? I would love something along the lines of Nissan XTerra with third row seating, but those don't seem to exist. :-(
