Nobody is paying $70k for a luxed half ton. Real world they’re paying in the high 50's.

You indeed are a very small sliver of buyers. My wife leases a ‘17 LX. Looks are subjective, but I’m a fan of the spindle / predator grille.

You leave a lot on the table with them though. I have a friend who is TUNDRA 4LYFE, buys a new one every year or so. They’re loud and suck fuel like no tomorrow.  I can’t think of a single thing they do better than anything from the big three.

The new Explorer will tow over 5k.  

I think we had the same parents. If I’d have kicked my mom’s seat she’d have reached back swinging.  My dad would have pulled over and whipped my ass on the side of the road.  

4th Gear:

Apparently you haven’t been paying attention

No phone number, no way. I don’t deal with craigslist people unless I can actually talk to them on the phone. 

Looks like you got greyed out, brother.  

Diversity hire

Well, the cat part should be “pussy,” but OK.

Until snowmobiles come out.

I’ve been toying with getting a beater C3. Something to drive to the bar every once in awhile. I prefer the 1979-1980 years myself.  White with red interior, please.

“Too luxurious for America”  -  Bull.  The car is cool in it’s own right, but it’s certainly not “too luxurious for America.”  

Maybe it’s a regional thing or your boss had a very particular build in mind. F-150's with a 5.0 are aplenty in my neck of the woods.

It won’t. Take it to the bank. 

You guys forgot to shit on GM today

I have a 17 Continental that has them.  Love them.

My wife and I are looking at pulling the trigger on one in two months, and that is the biggest question I’m wrestling with. This will be her vehicle, and she likes the Expedition more - strictly for styling reasons.

Half price? Are you joking? Full-size domestic SUVs have fantastic resale value.
