    On Toyota Tacoma's, what is a locking rear differential?

    I was looking at used Tacomas and I noticed that models with the pre-runner package offered a locking rear differential. What is that and how is it useful? Also, is that feature exclusive to Toyota Tacomas?

    Which "small" SUV has the better reputation? Toyota Rav4 or Honda CR-V?

    I'm thinking about trading in my 4 cylinder 2WD Ford Ranger for a 4 cylinder 4WD CR-V or Rav4, but which model has the better reputation in general? I really like the 04-05 model of each and everything matters to me. Resale value, durability, road noise as I like a quiet cabin, gas mileage (huge...

    Do Toyota Camrys really get 31 mpg?

    I was just reading an article stating the new 09 Camrys with the 4 cylinder automatic transmission get 31+ mpg highway. Is this true? I once owned a cheap 2002 Chevy Cavalier that was also a 4 cyl/automatic and my average was about 26-27 mpg highway and that was driving with an egg shell under...

    Are Honda Civics too small for someone who's 6'5" tall?

    I'm asking this for a friend at work who doesn't have internet access. He's about 6'5" and he's in the market for a Honda Civic. He recently bought a certified used 2008 4 cylinder Honda Accord, but he's really disappointed with the gas mileage for such a small engine which he says is about...
