Drove it 2500 miles over 2 weeks with about 2000 of those miles towing. Ran great, towed like a beast. We invited our son's girlfriend along because it would cause him to at least act like he's having fun some of the time. It worked. She is 2 years older than he is, and wise. She called him on his shit every time and was a general delight to have along with us.

On trips like this we remember why a pickup will never work for us - at least not while we're hauling kids. We needed all 3 rows for people, and the dog had 2/3 of the cargo area to herself.



A great campsite in New Hampshire:



Another great one on Lake Champlain:



And apparently the warm hood is a great place for drying umm... clothes.

Sorry if I "irk" you. Not sure what I did to offend you. Was not intended.

It's not you! And I'm not offended.

"cold air intakes" are mostly hot air intakes that are worse than stock in everything but sitting on a dyno with the hood open and a fan blowing on it.

in the real world of daily driving in traffic, they don't seal to the fender well sucking hot air from under the hood and the metal tub heat soaks from sitting on top of a 200deg radiator.

I think that's what he means by ugh.

Good insight. Thanks!

Yeah….pretty much the only thing you gain with a different intake might be some more noise when you rev the motor, but there will be negligible, if any, HP gains. The OEM intake is a pretty good design.

there's 2 I know of that have a snorkel down as sort of a ram air. both have a completely enclosed box too, but over 500$ each.

the Volant and the gale banks.. I'd personally lead towards banks being more legit but he doesn't offer one for mine. but I think he does for the normal ones.
