Transparently, not yet. I haven’t had the spare time for any tinkering (too busy with a move & holidays) though as soon as I’m able, I plan to swap out the m.2 with a 4tb and split that into a dual-boot. Sorry I can’t give any advice on that right now! 😓

So we actually ended up moving forward on a used Gold-certified ‘22 Highlander XLE with a pretty clean carfax and somewhere between 45-50k miles. Has a V6, AWD w/o rear diff, electric tow hitch. Clocks in at 1390 lbs cargo capacity. Gonna have the shop take a look at it as soon as we can get it off the lot once it’s ready.
We are ditching the RV idea, though in the future this should leave room for that if we really wanted to settle down with that much further down the line, within the discussed constraints. So thanks again for your input! What I’m curious about is the electric dongle you’ve attached to get those readings — Do you recommend one in specific? Not sure if they come universal, or need to be model-specific.
Yeah, what’s funny is during all this we noticed our Malibu’s cargo capacity is rated at almost 1,000 lbs in the door jam sticker.
Now, obviously, as you say it’s definitely not translatable to a tow hitch rate, and we’d never attempt something stupid like attaching a hitch and towing with it. But we found it funny that (aside from interior space) for cargo travel alone, we’d be better off with what we already have than a 4runner! (again, generally, obv there are a select few base models that do a lil better.)
I just don’t get why the 4runners are getting rated so low for what seems to be their most attractive feature. We saw the land cruisers seem to be a lot bulkier in the undercarriage.
Thank you for the little history lesson! (not /s)
😬 That’s some serious softwaregore. Whoops!
Thank you for the link! Will definitely check them out. The last 2 days have been so frustrating because I basically depend on gum to distract my AuDHD brain enough to get through difficult social interaction outside of the house. Had to stop myself more than once from finishing off the trident in my purse.
I understand where you’re coming from! OCD tendencies can spawn myriad little habits like that that can be near impossible to kick. Kudos to you for understanding your own limitations
Like another response stated, the big concern to me was the ambiguity that companies are allowed to have behind “gum base” as an ingredient, and this article dove into that more than others I could find on short notice.
I have no buy-in to the source, so please downvote and report to remove it for infactual information! I will leave it here to foster thoughts and discussion around unusual sources of unexpected materials we may unwittingly put into our bodies.
I’ll admit lately I get more than freaked out anytime I hear about potential microplastics getting into my system orally. It would be a relief to know this is a false alarm, though I’ll still personally be looking into alternatives instead of grabbing whatever off the checkout lane next time.
Yep, one more thing added to the pile of never again 🤢
This is awesome!! And I love the extra idea with the potatoes! Thanks for sharing :)
