The Toyota Champ is going to be my next utility truck. I'll have to buy the sides to the bed to keep my feed where it belongs, but being able to fold down the sides as well as the tail gate is an awesome feature for a rancher. Being able to forklift a pallet of feed onto the truck from three directions is a great idea.

@jeffreygibson1629 7 месяцев назад

I have a 2014 SRX4. The 2 wheel version is probably faster but I have accidentally laid a 4 wheel patch. The only thing that has gone wrong is that the sunroof drain clogged and flooded the trunk, shorting the tailgate module and pump. Parking facing downhill worked until it could be fixed. Fixing this car is pretty easy and I'm not a mechanic but I have fixed everything that has gone wrong so far. Thanks Scotty great video.

Scotty, sorry but I need to correct you (rare). The replacement XT5 sells so well that GM has tried to discontinue it since 2021 but can't because there's so much demand, they just extended it to 2025. I think you're thinking of the XT4 which is a smaller vehicle. I'm a 50 year Cadillac owner had great ones and no so great (70's were not so well made) and can tell you my 2020 XT5 is my favorite. Better than any BMW or MBZ I've owned.

@joemelissabucik7689 6 месяцев назад

I have 2 Buick LaCrosses with the same engine. 200k on one and still going strong. GM recommends a Dexos approved oil (synthetic oil) on these and they are right. I change the oil every 5,000 miles regardless of percentage oil life left with Dexos approved full synthetic and both cars have treated me well without any major issues. I bought a Cadillac XT5 as well with an updated version of this engine. The Buicks have 305hp and the Cadillac has 325hp. All are “zippy” and fun to drive!

If you fix a couple defects, they aren't bad engines. As long as you don't kill any computer modules. And as long as you dont mind taking the entire engine apart and making sure to put all new gaskets on everything that needs to be removed like when replacing the starter. I got the intake manifold off (,the starter is under it), then i noticed the valve covers leaking and had to get a special pulley remover for the water pump pulley (which needs to be removed to get the valve cover off), and don't forget you have to take, basically, the entire front end and radiator off, just to replace the alternator. Stuff like that. Lol

I have essentially the same car, 2010 Equinox with the 3.0V6. The ONLY thing I wish I had done as part of the maintenance was regular (40K) transmission fluid exchanges. I didn't do that and the trans failed at 149K miles. I've used either Mobil 1, Penz Plat, Amsoil for oil and have changed it every 4-7K miles. It just turned 176K miles. I took it to Orlando and back in a day, probably a couple hundred miles at least and was getting around 26mpg.

One would have thought that those at GM/Cadillac would have learned about downsizing with the Cadillac Cimarron debacle back in the 80's. but I guess not.

@dcsteve7869 7 месяцев назад

Later model GM V6's don't have the same issues with the timing chains as the earlier GM HF V6s. The problem was traced down to consumption of oil through the pcv system due to design flaw in the valve cover gasket and ventilation system. The revised system uses a different gasket with an integrated baffle to prevent as much oil from being ingested and the newer engines use improved hydraulic tensioners. An older engine can be easily retrofitted with the new valve cover gasket. However timing chain stretch and wear could be avoided in ANY of these engines by simply checking your oil level regularly as it was oil starvation that causes the excess heat leading to chain stretch and the damage to the tensioners. FYI the replacement to the SRX is the XT5 and it's actually a little bigger, comparable in size to the Honda Pilot/MDX and they've actually been selling well. Still think they are around $8-12k over priced in my opinion

@jackpalczynski7884 7 месяцев назад

I'm happy to hear that hopefully GM has upgraded the 3.6L. I've been considering a Cadillac and both the timing chain stretch and cylinder deactivation had me thinking that I'd buy a new one and either dump it before the drivetrain warranty ends or buy the factory extended warranty. For the moment, I'm sticking with my Subaru Legacy.

@lkjh00on89 7 месяцев назад

What year did they fix the timing chain issue?

@EBIndy 7 месяцев назад

2012ish. Timing chains can still be an issue with poor oil changes.

@dcsteve7869 7 месяцев назад

@@lkjh00on89 right around when they came out of with LFX series engines. In some models this was as early as 2010 but mostly this was resolved by 2012 mid way through the 3rd generation runs. These problems were pretty much remedied by the 4th generations that came out in 2016, but as stated there can be issues in vehicles where oil changes were neglected. for the record I had an ATS-V with the LF4 V6. Fantastic car, it was a monster on the track and felt much more responsive than the M3/M4.

@robertfrank886 7 месяцев назад

I have one of these at 121K miles (2012 MY)- engine is fine, so long as you change the oil regularly- timing chain stretch comes from prolonged oil changes- I was doing them every 5K, now at 4K and no oil consumed between changes. Lifetime tranny fluid? Nope- changed that at 60K and I just drained and filled that at 116K miles. Runs perfectly. The key as usual is proper oil/fluid changes. I recently had the O2 sensors changed (all 4) and it’s FWD- AWD is a pain as the subframe needs to be removed to get to the rear O2 sensors on the cat.

After that it was one issue after another radio touch screen failed, sunroof shade failed what did the car in was at 36k both front struts started to leak and it started to have transmission issues and I was like F**** it traded it in for a 2022 Mercedes Benz GLC and never looked back never have any issues with the Benz. GM can't build a car, truck or suv that can make it more than 50k and they don't last more than 5 years.

Cadillacs are garbage. My parents bought one brand new in 1983 a Seville with the bustleback trunk. In hindsight it looked retarded. But back then it was just so elegant & classy. Within a year my parents had to take it back to the dealership multiple times for repairs because it was always breaking down. That thing was more trouble than it was worth. Luckily my Dad was able to finally sell it to one of the lawn guys who cut our grass. Talk about a depreciating asset.

He did a video on the minivan. See if you can find it. But he also said they typical for under the dash electrical problems and in that video he said he was going to fix it for the client. But , he did not show how he going to fix it in that video.

Scotty says to stay away from the 6 cylinder Subaru, only buy the 4 cylinder. I have a 2004 Dodge Caravan, although Scotty isn’t fond of it, it has been trouble free (no fancy electronics like the new stuff out there)! I do the basic maintenance myself, brakes, fluids, plugs. I would tend to go with a Honda 4 cylinder non-turbo after listening to Scotty.

Ohh you mean the glorified Chevy? Lol yea just like the Lexus. It’s a glorified Toyota. I’d rather just by a Chevy or Toyota. Forget about it! If you want a pure luxury vehicle by a Mercedes or not so much. A BMW. But actually just get the Mercedes. 😊

It's a real shame toyota or mazda didn't make the hyundai elaantra n line with a manual. There is one for sale near me. It is a gorgeous car and goes like stink. But I fear it won't be reliable. I'm sure the original owner beat the tar out of it. He/she got rid of it for a reason. The n line models are only 1 or 2 years old

@big0bad0brad 7 месяцев назад

Wtf does Toyota or Mazda have to do with Hyundai?

@texaslegend5076 7 месяцев назад

Stay away from all new Hyundai vehicles. Although I would take a chance on a 2008 Sonata if it was taken care of.

@ryanbrandt5404 7 месяцев назад

@big0bad0brad what I meant was I wish a car company that made reliable cars made a car like the elantra n line. Instead of a company that makes horrible vehicles. Toyota don't have a front or awd manual at all. Mazda has the 3 in manual. But it's no n line

@big0bad0brad 7 месяцев назад

@@ryanbrandt5404 I've got a mazda 3 auto and its manual mode is enough to make the brakes last over 200K miles if you do it right. I got no complaints with it. But I've got the '13 without AWD, but I prefer it that way because it's less picky about having tires matched front to back.

@ryanbrandt5404 7 месяцев назад

@big0bad0brad I have driven many automatics. Including my dad's 7 series BMW. I have been massively dissatisfied with their operation compared to all manuals I've driven. I would rather drive a manual 1987 escort gl than a brand new car with automatic. No matter the maker
