There is a styling difference between the two. A fleet buyer or cheapskate wouldn’t care, but a personal buyer will choose whatever brand’s styling he likes better.

It’s probably more a matter of them trying to maintain the differential between the Sierra / Silverado. They and their competition certainly know how many trucks they’re building.  

IDK if this is such a great idea. Your average dipshit will probably destroy their tires sooner. If the tire doesn’t go flat, most people won’t bother checking their tires for a foreign object. Continuing to drive with some metal lodged in the tire is eventually going to hog out the hole to the point where it may not…

It’s a big pushrod engine. I think Ford’s really aiming at the commercial market with the 7.3. Think cutaway chassis and baby dumps.  I don’t think it’ll give the thrills you’re looking for in a car.

It’s more about towing than off-roading. The 6.2 can be anemic when towing. The 7.3 is a good option to get decent power without dropping the coin on and dealing with diesel headaches.

Well, my wife did. Her reasoning was mostly size. The LX is bigger and has much better visibility. Also had nicer leather and a better sound system. Lexus dealer here is much better than Benz too. It sucks fuel like no tomorrow and has all the handling dynamics of a couch.

You passed on it because you didn’t like the car, not because Hertz has a few thousand Fusions in their fleet.

Really? Has anybody passed on a GTR, or a Mustang, or a ‘vette because that brand also caters to fleet sales?

Picture if you will a skirt and blouse. Women’s clothing, right? Now, if I were to don said outfit would they no longer be women’s clothing?

So it’s Uber’s fault people are dumb? Nobody is forcing anybody to do this. 

Had a 1995 Jetta GLX. It had heated leather seats.

If his FICO is 615 he doesn’t have a clean credit history.

In your zeal to see how many times you could use “cis” in your article you came up with this gem:

This car appeals to just about nobody. Completely underwhelming and overpriced.  Will we even see a 2021 version of this before it gets the ax?

Eat the money for an FJ Cruiser.

The standard to initiate a traffic stop is reasonable suspicion, not probable cause

It’s called a payday.  

Electrical gremlins and rust, rust, and more rust are all these are good for. I think they rust out worse than Toyotas.
