I really kind of like that blue, but for reasons I already said. That blue might get old on a car, never on a boat.

Tell your friend to go off road ASAP, what a waste. I have had so much fun with the LX it's not even funny and there's not one single ding or scratch from any of that fun. Mud and grime wash off... Just drive in the rain and your undercarriage will wash right off too (but who cares to begin with?).

But, who am I to tell anyone what to do. I can appreciate how he is keeping it spotless.

 

Yeah, I doubt that will ever happen. That truck is so clean, it sparkles

 

So does my LX, and it's got a flagship Lexus paint job. I just take it through the car wash and it's fine lol. Looks brand new. If I sold it (I wouldn't) and lied (I wouldn't) and said I never took it off road, nobody would ever know.

I just couldn't imagine buying a vehicle like that and never having the fun it was designed for.

Back to the CT.... I wouldn't take it far off road, and I know I'm a broken record but I think it's just a cool vehicle to not take too seriously. Of course it's not going to replace ANY truck, that's just laughable.

 

except for hate of Elon and Teslas, why not?

I have sold many Land Cruisers in my previous life, most owners don't take them to anything more serious that a muddy/sludgy/snowy dirt road full of holes. They go where their Rav4 is dubious to go, and mostly not for some crazy trail hunting like on youtube.

Dont see a reason why they would not get a CT or some BEV SUV. They have electricity in their winter homes and dont travel a lot around. It is pretty much perfect.

 

Except for hero worship of Elon and Tesla, I don't see why they HAVE to buy the CT.

 

Get your facts straight before you spew all this crap. I never said I hate Elon, nor Teslas. Please find where I said that. You'll be searching for a lonnnnng time. I like Elon, actually. He and I share certain views.

What does that even matter? Keep your CT, let's see in 20 years which vehicle is still going. Also I sure as hell off road mine so what do I care? I've said so many times it's stupid to not use a vehicle for what it's designed for. CT is designed for looking cool and attracting attention and being fast. Off roading it's pathetic. Let's call a spade a spade here. Range is also terrible, especially with the cover open.

You don't in any way see why someone, a truck person, wouldn't pick up an $80,000 Sierra Denali or F150 Limited over THIS? Please, join us back in reality. Have you seen these, especially the insides? They're basically fuil zoot luxury cars, the Denali in my family is at least.

 

I have a moto....don't ever **** off AJT 🤣🤣

 

Lol nooo. But people are saying the CT is fit to take over all trucks which is one of the most ludicrous statements I've ever heard in my life.

Fleet work trucks and all.

 

I was pulling your chain

 

Hah. I guess I shouldn't tell you that I'm known as the guy that's hilarious to screw with (lightheartedly). I've had people/friends mess with me just for their own entertainment before. Jerks lol.

 

You mixed in few things here. So people buy trucks to offroad them, for range and then also as luxury vehicles?

Truck suck at all 3, and if you believe that people should use things for what they are built for, then trucks should be used for hauling things.

But as you know, most people dont actually buy trucks for that.

Just like they don't buy new vehicles to keep them for 20 years.

As to CT offroading skills, i bet you gonna be annoyed come next winter with all youtubers talking about it.

 

1/2 ton pickup trucks are not suited for off-roading either lol

 

I've taken mine into some pretty gnarly places.

 

I Think the gnarliest place my friend took his Raptor was an alley he cut through. Those expensive off-road tires really helped 🤣

 

What are you talking about? People buy trucks because that's what they like. Trucks are so ridiculous now they're basically luxury cars.

They're not just built for hauling things. They're massive inside. People like the driving position and toughness. America is doing something right because 1500s have been the best selling vehicles for 40+ years. Everyone may not tow and work a truck to death but I'd say at least 95% of pickup owners have utilized the bed for some convenience...

Of course it's not the norm, but more people keep vehicles for the long haul than you think.

I'll be laughing, actually. I already am, I saw some video of a CT going up a muddy incline my rwd LS430 would handle fine and the owner was trying to call it "off roading".
