    Oh, and I forgot: payload capacity. With our stock armor and new tires, we only have ~ 700 lbs (which gets eaten up fast with two adult humans and a 150lb dog)!

    If you’re worried about mileage you could buy a Corolla…

    Like one of these, with a $20K markup?! I'll pass! The sad thing is, they actually sold them at those prices!

    lol that’s a GR Corolla bro lfmao
    They are AWD and make 300 horsepower out of a turbo 4 cylinder. Toyota made that car to compete in rally competitions.

    I bought my wife a 2021 Corolla SE fully loaded for 25k. She loves it. Makes about 30 mpg if you keep your foot out of it.

    Nothing wrong with Corolla it’s a great option if you’re looking for an economical car.

    Yes. They sell an expensive one. Just like a Subaru Impreza is very different than an Impreza WRX STi. They are not the same

    Reason why you can't do a simple bulb swap for the driving / fog lights, and instead have to replace the whole assembly...

    none
    Cold weather creaks from the upper right and left windshield corners.

    I've never heard a windshield creak - how cold are you talking about? -40F?
