Thats a toyota thing the Tacoma is the same way. I guess some people like having their knees up high?

Exactly, how the automotive journalists don’t see this is beyond me. Pretty much the same with the escape vs fusion.

exactly, its really basic. Last year I took the new fusion and the escape for test drives. I believe they are on the same platform, they have very similar driving characteristics and the same motors/options. I ended up getting the escape just because it is more versatile, easier to get in and out of, and only had a…

Thats pretty much what the lidar supply said, the sensors seen her but the software that uber developed was not good enough

Exactly, alot of the boating accidents around me are from boaters not at the helm while on autopilot and then they end up on one of the 8 reefs around my area

Your considerably better gas mileage will only cost $1000 over the next 5 years

I agree with you, you should buy the vehicle that meets your needs, wants, and budget. For me and most of the other truck owners around my area, a relatively small city, I see trucks being utilized more than others may observe in more larger city/suburban cookie cutter house areas.

Look at your most popular trim, LT, Guess which one you will get out the door cheaper after all incentives? Which one depreciates less? Whats the better buy?

It is true, but they are available if you want to buy them.

The new ram is lower entry to the cab

Even the short beds will fit 4x8 sheets with the tailgate down. Whats the difference? Why deal with the extra weight and turning radius of a 8ft bed when a 6ft does the same job?

Yes fully loaded but you can get the work truck trim for half, which has the same bones but still have power windows/locks, cruise and air conditioning.

No they are not, especially if you want to tow anything over 3500 lbs. That was my biggest problem and why I ended up just getting a crew cab truck. By the time you option up a crossover to tow anything comfortably you will usually be over what a truck will cost out the door with incentives.

Exactly, and the crossovers have no power to pull anything

You beat me to it.

If you are over a certain width aren’t you legally supposed to have clearance markers, IE the ford raptor has the 3 amber high mounted lights and one on each corner.

I own a 2012 which I purchased new, at the time I could get a new truck cheaper than a slightly used one and had it narrowed down between an extended cab z71 silverado with the 5.3 and the crew cab ram Hemi. After driving the two trucks back to back it was a no brainier. The 5.3 even with a better transmission than…

I do wish that the Chevy’s 6.2 was available in all trims and not limited to only the LTZ+.

“V8 Hemi’s performance and pulling power adequate but not exceptional” Hard to believe that we live in a day in this age where 395hp is just “adequate”

I was pulled over for not wearing my seat belt while wearing it as well by a state cop. I was 18 at the time wearing a frat-bro lime green polo driving my 87 trans am with a blood red interior and matching seat belts. Never got a ticket but had to argue with him for a while.
