Yeah, just found a description for eco plus tires, a different tire but same contenintal technology. They're big on description but low on technical information.
They say ecoplus on them. Aren't they supposed to get better fuel economy or at least help a little bit? How can you prove that they do or do not I wonder.
Ok. So went and found some online discussions about this.
First point that a lot of people were making is the increased number and power of cell phone towers. Something with those increasing causes interference with the satellite signal coming down.
Also really do wonder if they're cutting...
It's got to do with the fact that you're getting a Satellite signal from the sky and the angle that you get the signal to your antenna depends on where you are at. Not that there is anything that you can do about it, but you can check to see what satellite you're pulling signal from.

Didn't know that about Alaska, I guess you either have to wait 6 months for everything to thaw out or take the whole car wash process indoor in a sealed and warmed environment.

Good points on the early all-steel trucks. In my mind that's the truck that I think about first when I think about a "truck". There may have been advancements for the newer vehicles, but they're just keeping up with technology in the rest of society and other appliances and parts of our lives.
This last weekend I test drove a new Sequoia and I was pleasantly surprised with it overall. It drove well, had a lot of power and it's really just about the size of a vehicle I need.
Now, I do like to do some light off roading from time to time, sometimes it can get to be moderate off-roading...
No camping close to the east coast right now. In the past we loved to go camping with the kids.
We have been to Ocean View Campground, Baker's Campground, and Timberland in years past.
