Comanches are not body on frame.

The Tesla home charger is 10kW. Your average central air system is between 3-4kW. The Tesla charger literally draws double to triple the power of central air.

I have been riding motorcycles for 9 years, and I still bicycle as well. People pull out in front of me all the time. Maybe they didn’t see me or judged my speed wrong, or maybe they’re just jerks. Who knows - not worth getting worked up about. That’s why I just stay alert.

Both of them are idiots. Driver should get some kind of traffic infraction ticket. Biker should be charged with vandalism or destruction of property.

How in the world did Tesla/Solar City manage to get NY to pay for majority of this factory? Tesla can’t rely on greenfundung forever.

What junkyards have EcoBoosts already? All 5 of my local yards are just starting to get trucks with LS-based engines, let alone EcoBoost V6 motors.

...why would the V6 fuel economy magically drop 10% between generations, while the V8 stayed the same?

Then why does the carry over V8 have the same fuel economy as the last gen?

The EPA methodology for calculating gas engine MPG has not changed in the past 5 years. A 2012 Chrysler 300 V6 is still rated at the same 31 MPG as a 2017 and all the parts are exactly the same between them.

It’s a shame Ford had to purposely ruin the V6 Mustang just to make the EB look better. The last gen Mustang V6 was rated at 30 MPG highway and had 305HP.

The V6 Mustangs are lighter than the EcoBoost ones. The previous gen V6 Mustang was actually rated at 30 MPG and had 305 HP, but Ford clearly purposely made it get worse MPG this generation to make the EB look better.

The Toyota R,S and F series engines all fit that description. As does the Ford 4.9L I6, EFI 302/351/460 and the early 2V 4.6 V8. The pre-vortec TBI GM 305/350 engines will also easily go 250,000 miles. Any LS engine will go the distance. The Nissan TB, VG and VQ engines used in the Patrol and Pathfinder and countless…

Almost. There are engines like early 2.5 DOHC Subaru engines, Ford SOHC 4.0, etc... that had inherent design flaws, but for the most part, a modern engine can be expected to last 200,000 miles or more.

...and 00-01 Jeep 4.0s have issues with cylinder heads cracking and valves not rotating causing almost every single one I’ve seen to have a rough idle. Yes some engines have “issues”, but the vast majority of modern engines can be expected to run for 200,000 miles or more without a major failure.

No doubt, but Toyota, Nissan, etc... also had lower-cost engines that were just as reliable.

Yeah, but once again that’s not anything special. That applies to almost any engine made in the last 20 years. My Ranger has 250,000 miles with the old 4.0 OHV V6. The old Toyota Camry 5S-FE engine has been known to go 300,000+ miles with nothing but regular maintenance.

Yeah, but you could say that about any engine. Pretty much any motor made in the last 20 years will go 250,000 miles as long as it doesn’t have a glearing design flaw.

Cherokees eradicate themselves by how rapidly they rust in the North East

I agree, I really don’t get where it comes from. Yes the Jeep 4.0 is known for going 200,000 miles, but so is just about every other engine made in the last 20 years.

I just want to know why automakers think it’s so impressive to show a wheel off the ground on “Off-Road” vehicles. It’s far more impressive when your suspension has enough travel to keep all four tires on the ground even over rough terrain. Even FCA loves to show the Grand Cherokee lifting a tire off the ground -when…
