Short commutes are what’s best in a Wrangler, you don’t want to do long highway drives in one.  Plus the electric motor is probably great off road - instant torque.

Not everyone has trash pickup.  My last two houses I had to drive my trash to the trash center about a mile away.  But my new house, man it’s nice to have them take regular trash away (I still have to haul the big stuff and oil myself.)

In my area it only 30 cents more than regular right now.

I think on MPG lists you should do city mileage only.  I think that would be a much better representation of the daily use of most cars.

No, WayDude.

Surprisingly, the 4.9 six has a higher towing capacity than the 5.0 V8.  That long stroke really does help.

That’s how I drove my 88 Ford F-250, and it had triple the mileage with no fuel pump problems, and given that it had a 351, it wen through a lot more fuel. Shame I sold it at the low point in it’s value a few years ago.

A truck and a car are both vehicles.  Truck isn’t a subset of car.

As a former owner of this generation of Isuzu P’up (but with the larger, fuel injected 4 cylinder motor) I can assure you that it is in fact a truck.

That would be the last (maybe) truck, not the last car.

Since my truck is primarily used for towing and hauling stuff, the 3.92 gears were a requirement for me - I have other more fuel efficient cars available if I don’t need to drive the truck.  My Hemi only screams like a banshee if I floor it, and I very rarely need to do that while towing.

What gears did you have in the Hemi truck? If you had the 3.21s, that might explain a lot. I have the towing package with 3.92 gears. I have no problem getting my load moving at all (and my boat weighs more than your car and trailer) and maintaining pace with traffic. I’ve been on the highway towing a big load and it…

And that’s why it’s getting harder and harder to update the radio in modern cars.  We need a new law like they had back in the 70s that consumers weren’t locked into the factory radios.

I have a Hemi Ram 1500, and love how it pulls trailers (I have a boat/trailer that weighs around 7000 lbs.)  What you describe about having to rev really high actually describes the Lincoln Navigator I replaced with the Ram.  The Navigator had a 32V V8, and even towing a 5000 lb load it wanted to stay over 3500 RPM at…

Yeah, a company tried e-bikes in my college town pre-pandemic. They pulled out after a couple of months due to excessive damage to their equipment, which most ‘customers’ would throw down in place when they were done. At night it was common to find the e-bikes in the middle of the street, blocking the sidewalks in…

Delivery driver here.  I’d have to blow into it like 100 times a day.

Probably due to the fact that America has much fewer public transportation option, especially away from large cities.

Ford Flex has some of the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat in.

We had a problem in my city where the switching yard was located in the middle of town.  Guess what - when it was built it was on the edge of town, the city grew around it.  It caused major traffic problems because they built the train (constant slow speed backing up and going forward) during rush hour.  So it blocked…

I’ve driven on the Merritt one time, and my main thought was how are there not 100 car pile-ups here on a daily basis.  I think traffic was moving at 70 when I was there, and it was literal bumper to bumper.  One mistake by anyone would have been disaster.
