Cars 5 years old or less Roll Call

[CKN]

I know the vast majority of forums members drive older vehicles. I am wondering who drives newer vehicles. This will lend perspective and clarification to several recent threads-about new cars, electronic safety features, touch screens, etc.

I will start-2020 Ford F150 Lariat (4WD) Crew Cab 3.5 Eco-boost
2022 Toyota Highland AWD XLE

I sometimes drive my wife's 2020 RAV4. Radar cruise control is pretty cool. I should use it more often.

My wife drives the Outback mostly. We could have got all the whiz bang stuff, but stuck with the base model, and no regrets on that at all really. My wife's commute is basically like a car commercial drive through the country side, so no need for radar cruise or blind spot stuff or whatever else there is now, with near zero other cars on the road.
The main features are, its comfortable, quiet, good mileage, AWD, heated seats, can tow something, and the built in roof rack works well for us too. It has the base screen but does everything we need with apple carplay, but if it had no screen I don't think we care. Certainly if the screen breaks and costs more than $1-200 to replace we'll just live without it as long as the radio works.

‘20 Fusion and ‘21 Sienna. I like the all new bells and whistles. Life is short - buy/do what makes you happy.

'19 CX5 GT with all the gizmos minus the turbo engine; I'm fine with less power on a non-sporty car. Give me all the buttons!!!

2019 Ram 1500 Classic Tradesman

The van is the van, it’s great at holding all 4 children. The truck doesn’t have much in the way of fancy, but it does have Bluetooth and that’s all I need. Wife wants all the fancy tech in her next car, and she’ll get it lol

2020 C43 sedan- it has most every option and I absolutely love it. It's great to be able to switch from a comfortable cruiser to a rowdy hard-edged sport sedan at the push of a button.

22 Explorer ST, pretty much every feature offered.

The 20-21 years had some issue's but the 22-23 seem solid. It's a really fun SUV. 400HP/415TQ. A tune and intercooler can put it around 450-475 WHP. Had it 6 months and only have 3500 miles so not willing to void war yet.

22 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid.

It’s a loaded up Touring-L package as the Pinnacle was an additional 6 month wait when we ordered it. It’s the family hauler and my wife likes all the fancy gadgets on the vehicles she drives.

[Blueshound]

2018 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD 2.5 (normally aspirated) 50,000 miles. Only complaint is the "leather" seats are not the most comfy.

2021 Ford F150 Crew Cab XLT 302A 4WD 5.0, 30,000 miles. No complaints but there have been several minor recalls.

We have no plans to change out either vehicle any time soon. Currently no other vehicles.

 

[RhondaHonda]

2023 Tesla Model Y Performance
2021 Z71 Suburban
2017 Corvette Grand Sport (wow, actually 6 years old now, but close)

New vehicles have their own issues at times but I don’t miss scrambling to fix an older car just to get to work the next day. The safety and various options are big factors for me.
