That truck was 1,200 bucks 20 years ago. I got prolly 10-50x the u haul worth over two decades from it with side hauling alone minus the towing and the construction work i uaed it for for a couople years. But again, those were my experiences only and a u haul would not have been cheaper for me.
I will disagree with you.
… But someone wanting to buy a 70k F150 cuz its sexy and they might go visit the lake or something is a different story.
These are not the problem trucks. I WISH you could still buy something this size. Everything now is gargantuan.
I never think of that. I rented a Turo in Vegas a few weeks ago and still added some insurance like a dummy.
You can buy 4cyl 4x2 short bed trucks brand new and they are very popular amongst working people.
Turo is different. Most auto policies cover rentals, but many policies apparently won’t cover Turo. I called my State Farm agent and asked and even he couldn’t tell me for sure.
I couldn’t get a straight answer from Geico about Turo either. I rented one last week bc I needed something to carry 7 people on short notice and it was the most convenient thing to do and still cost-effective even with the minimal insurance.
I think most people’s car insurance doesn’t cover their own car, just liability. I assume the insurance on the U-Haul is for damage you might cause to the U-Haul
Huh? Anyone who has an outstanding loan has coverage on the car, and even if self-owned most people whose cars are worth at least 7K likely have at least Comprehensive if not also Collision.
Yeah just looked it up and I guess it’s more like 20-30% who don’t have Comprehensive or Collision. Thought the number was higher
Took my first decent trip in the Ioniq 5. I left at 80% charge/203 miles. I drove 120 miles roundtrip. I got home at 14%/34miles. It’s very cold here today. Temperatures ranged from 5 F to 15 F. I assumed the range estimates took the cold into account, but now I assume not, as it way underperformed it’s range estimate.
I think it is dynamic so it will change as you add more load on the battery. I haven’t done a long drive in my Ionic 5, but I have seen the number change as I turn the heater up or down. I know the charging time has doubled since I got the car in August and it was in the 70’s to now when it is in the 20’s. I probably would have looked for a charge before heading home.
Minivanmaxers,
Any consensus on the best? I’m earnestly just starting to look because I never really thought I’d be buying one. Naturally I assume Toyota and Honda are well made, but my neighbor has a Chrysler and, well, does Chrysler make anything else now? It has to be decent.
I have a Chrysler Pacifica. No complaints. The one unique thing about it is that on the full ICE version, the second row seats can fold into the floor, which makes it really convenient for hauling stuff. We like this functionality when it is needed, but it actually hasn’t been that often.
I’d assume Honda or Toyota are superior from a reliability standpoint. Ours is under 4 yrs old. Zero probs so far, but it’s young.
Yea I think from a reliability standpoint Chrysler is usually rated somewhere near dead last. My sisters both have/had Honda Odyssey’s and loved them.
I have two Honda odysseys I use to transport people daily. One is 2007, one is 2008. They have like 230k and 175k miles respectively.

Is this just for 2023 vehicles? How does one know yet for reliability when the vehicles have juat barely been on the road?
I think that charts just for 2023 models and it’s just a survey of the number of problems per vehicle surveyed. But you can look back through multiple years and see a pattern that Toyota, Mazda, Honda, generally rust to the top. Chrysler, jeep, almost always end up at the bottom.
Low mileage cars. My 2002 GMC Safari has 320k.
