If I've understood correctly they have smaller crash bars, might try that it's cheap and not too hard. I am no expert, but I can't imagine having tire rub that wasn't temporary. To clarify by temporary I mean from the tire store to home where you do something to get rid of the issue...
The Ridgeline makes a ton of sense very practical, but damn I just couldn't even consider it because of how it looks. Honestly if I'm gonna go practical i'd buy a minivan. I have a 2006 F150 with an 8 ft bed if I need to haul anything. My wifes old minivan would have hauled more in the back...
So gas where I am is 86 88 and 91 all with ethonal. I can find 86 ethonal free and 91 ethonal free. Short easy trips to and from workmost of the time. What would you run?
The side by side is a good plan, less chance you tear up your 35k dollar truck. The side by side is not cheap, but it's made for off roading. The truck for off roading is going to cost you.... you'll want at least a leveling kit for the bigger tires. hmm need a winch, gotta change the bumper...
I think the economy will spring back, but I think we'll see the social distancing things stay in some ways. At check out lines no one ever liked being close to each other. Handshakes which i like will probably never be back and that's probably good. I guess alot of it depends on how bad...

The issue we have now is we don't know who has it, except for those that we know are exposed or those that have symptoms. We are still waiting days for test results...
I work at a 500 bed acute care hospital. I'm not in direct patient care, but thankfully my team and I are deemed "essential". We are preparing for the worst, hoping for the best. It's been pretty crazy and very fluid. I'm not sure what the answer is PPE could very well become a problem...
I have a stock FX4, getting 18.2 combined. This is 80% City, with 2.7 miles trips to and from work where I have a couple of stop lights, max speed is 45 on one little stretch. That's probably gonna be around your 16 avg. It's also probably the worst situation for gas mileage. I was a little...
.You have the powertrain warranty. You could sell it at yr 4 if it looked like the 2.3 was going to be an issue or had been an issue.. You'd like get a good price on a 4 yr old truck with around 50k miles and a year of powertrain warranty.
