do these have a 4-lo setting? I figure with the awd on all the time there wasn't a 4-lo setting.
help me brainstorm what to get for my next vehicle

Drive an F150 Supercrew before you buy the Chevy (coming from a former Chevy guy)

Do the f150s get decent mileage? I only checked out Chevies because the 5.3 motor is so bulletproof. I know nothing about Fords. Which Ford motor will get me the best MPG?

Yeah, they sure do... and they're quite capable.
Yep, still have 4 low and a center diff locker to make it true 4 wheel drive.

what's your average MPG in a v8 runner? 14-17?
My wife drives it like an old lady and the computer says she averages 17 around town. I know on long trips down to New Mexico I average 18+. There is nothing that can express the joy of cruising at 75 mph @ 2 rpm and never having a real down shift on a hill.
Disclaimer: When I first bought it for myself and was tracking the mileage I was getting 14-17. I drove it like it was a wild hooker asking for more.

since we've covered about everything else... What about a Sequoia? My wife's gets about 17mpg.

sequoias aren't out of the question. The price matches the demand here since everyone's wife wants to drive one.

Yea, I like it a lot more than the mini-van she had before. Not much available that I've found for lifts though, seems like spacers or Bilstein shocks are about the only ones talked about.

I would assume the 1st gen sequoias share components with the 1st gen tundras, which share suspension components with the 1st gen tacomas.

The 4runners are sweet my wife drives one. I don't think I will ever let it go. The only regret was not getting the v8.

40 is over rated! Live for today!

I loved my 09 F150 supercrew. I averaged 16 MPG city, 19 HWY in it. I had the 5.4 v8, and 3.15 or so gearing. I thought is was geared high at first, but the 6 speed tranny was great. Plenty of power, cushy ride, good mileage for a long heavy truck. Of all the vehicles I have ever owned, that is the one I wish I had back.

Have you driven a Honda Ridgeline yet? Has anyone mentioned one?
IFS, IRS, no low range. I'm sure it rides nice.

I would love to see this happen for so many reasons.

The Ridgeline got shredded over it's AWD system, I wouldn't want one for even random backroad exploring.
