Yeah off-road enthusiasts will will continue to buy available models with the benifets. Personally I don’t need BOF but no choice with the 460. RX is too small.

We went from a 4Runner to the GX...I’m sure it’s all in my head but I just love how solid body on frame vehicles feel.

Good article. I am doing my part to keep them alive - 2 in my household.

Thinking about this more in depth, I wonder how BOF trucks hold their value opposed to crossovers? Just by judging on the names on that list I'm pretty certain that BOF retain their value more than crossovers (including the American names, except for the Expedition & G Class???).
