    I'm not knocking your thought process/decision, but I've been using Kroger gas for years. I've never had any issues with Kroger gas. Though my local Kroger gas station employee(s) always seem questionable.

    Always a trade-off I guess.

    I've never had any issues either, but lately, Kroger gas even with the 3 cents I get off per gallon is the same as the QT a mile away. Every once in a while we get 10 cents off but never anything more.

    How much travel time on a ferry? My claustrophobia and anxiety would be tipping the scale being packed in there like a pack of sardines.

    Great detailed information. I need to do the Kroger Mastercard to get the additional .25 per gallon.
    And I like to use the big $1.00 savings on filling up my 38 gallon F-150. On a regular fillup I use the Shell station down the street because they are typically $.20 per gallon cheaper, and they always give me the Kroger $.10 per gallon.

    I will tow my cargo converted off-road trailer. In addition I have more already added to it, skid plates, covert bumper, winch. Then comes in gear, equipment and so on. Also, oem radiator is kind of weak. I have seen a comment here, bout how one of the users of the csf radiator was not happy about it. It leaked. We will see. If it fails, I will get the koyorad one.

    What is cool about this radiator that it has a transmission cooler built in it. At the bottom. I dont think it would work as well as the separate one, but time will tell. I am about to post some more pics of more components.

    What's the weight of your trailer empty? I tow an old military trailer and so far I haven't noticed any abnormal engine or tranny temps. That's with 3 people, dog and fridge in the truck and with the trailer loaded with gear coming in at around 950lbs.

    I have used scan gauge tool. Every time you put more weight on your vehicle or tow something, temperatures in your transmission increase. I wanna take good care of my tranny.

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    I had to gas up this morning on my way to the stealership for my 10k service.

    This is how much I saved in gas thanks to Kroger. 22 gallonsfor $42!

    Out with the old, in with the new. From 2017 4R TRD Pro in Cement, to a 2022 Lexus GX460 Blackline in Nori Green.

    I loved the 4Runner, but after 160k miles I wanted to reset the odometer with the same thing, but different.

    I just applied for mine. You get .55 cents off for the first full year. Add in your weekly Kroger points and you're likely to get $1.00 off every week. I'm heading west to Montana from Ohio this week and I'm not sure how far Kroger goes west but I'm going to do my best to use them as far west as I can.

    That green reminds me of the green Toyota had on their Tacomas in 2010s. I believe it was called Spruce mica
