Cool. Thanks for the update. 👍

Australia has crazy high taxes that make owning a new vehicle a challenge to say the least.

Tesla has “stores” where you can see the cars and test drive them.

I disagree. I LIKE going to the dealerships. I tell them I’m from service and they leave me alone.

...The truly terrible cars ... have all sort of given way to a base quality across the board that you can mostly trust. I mean almost any new car today will be... fine!

I’m really curious to see how it will sell now that people have adjusted to them with the Baja and Ridgeline. (The Rabbit-Caddy and the Rampage failed utterly.)

This would be an acceptable amount for that configuration.  Thank you for pointing it out,

Thank you, good sir.

Why not both?  Ford can afford to do it.

Have you thought about going around to everyone’s desk chair and lowering them all the way?

Exactly. That is why I was using the tow rating from my 2011 Ranger. That rating came after the measuring method was standardized.

LOL! I saw your avatar and just assumed. My mistake.

But you work for Jalopnik? How can this be? Next you’ll be telling me that beautiful A-List actresses aren’t calling you left and right.

Ok. I’ll be that guy.

Ok. I’ll be that guy.

5,000 lbs with the optional class 3 trailer package. I mean hell, the old Ranger had that. Can’t be too hard ya know. (Unless it’s a unibody, front wheel drive ute. Then 3K is ok.)

Alright tough guy, prove it. Step on over to your favorite Ford dealer and throw down a deposit.

So you’re saying Car and Driver, Road and Track, Automobile, Truck Teens, Four Wheeler, Edmunds, Consumer Reports, all five Fast Lane channels, Pickup Truck and SUV Talk are all idiots for using MSRP when reviewing the truck at hand.

Boomers and leaders are “buying” them and I was going by MSRP not dealer discount.
