Toyota vs SxS

[PredatorSlayer]

For sure. Raptors are wide. I meant there was zero difference in scratching them up if they cost the same.

And I think the mental mindset is the biggest thing with a truck. If you are willing to treat it like a sxs and scratch the shit out of it, a tacoma or 4 runner will take you anywhere you want to go.

I thought that would get a laugh.

Those cages are pretty light duty.


Used to carry insurance on even the dirtbike. $120 a year. Pretty easy to have a bike pulled outta the pickup.

With the ropes on a SxS probably better than a plastic truck or car.

For a collision with a another vehicle? I'd love to see any wreck statistics on that, but the ropes on a SxS are not designed to handle higher speed collisions. You have nothing to absorb the impact the way modern vehicles are designed and no airbags. If you get T-boned by a Tesla, head on with a Kia or rear ended by a Camry, you're chances of walking away unscathed are slim.

Where are we hunting at? It’s a lot better when you dgaf about the body, paint, or armor

your point?

 

[WeiserBucks]

your point?

I think the point is that we willfully engage in dangerous activities. Everyone has their own risk tolerance.

your point?

Talking about how safe it is driving on a sxs on the road

I don't think anyone who rides a bike is under any illusions of safety in a collision. I'm going to assume most SxSers are of the same mindset.

Thinking that a SxS is going to be safer than a "plastic" modern vehicle in a collision is pure delusion. Hence the response.

I don't know, man. The people that drive RzRs in the woods don't seem to be too worried about collisions.

Totally agree, and that’s not even counting the chance of someone rolling on a quad.
Some guys ride like there is no tomorrow, I’ve had hunts where everything was lining up perfectly, and then a random ATV showed up out of nowhere and pushed game completely out of the zone

We hunted out of my 2006 Tacoma for years then gave it to my daughter when she turned 16. I bought a bigger truck, trailer, and SXS. After using it for a year, I miss the Tacoma. A few areas we hunted this year were so dusty the SXS was miserable to be in for a full day. We ended up driving to the closest town to take showers at a truck stop. Sure you can get around faster, but I think I will end up back in a Toyota.
