So who buys a full-sized pickup for fuel-economy? That's like buying a yacht and expecting the fuel-bills of a small outboard engine.

I have a lot of respect for 4Runners and their durable mechanicals, but one does not buy them for econocar-MPG either.

Acurazine is also owned by IB. I wonder how they're getting around that policy. They actually have a forum titled "Religion & Politics".

Never been to Acurazine, but P&R turns into sewer quickly. There was a P&R forum on CL, it's got real bad during covid and shut down.

Yeah, I'm not saying it isn't a "**** show", but they seem to be allowing it.

AcuraZine is RIDICULOUS with the trolls. They are literally losers in basements that sit glued to the computer 24/7. They even dox people that don't agree with them.
