Man, I just want to know how many Hiroshimas each combustion detonation must be...

Well, it’s probably also the torque peak.  These engines don’t rev up and down, they run at a rated speed.

Although you’re not wrong, the effect of the change in unsprung weight in a vehicle of this type and size is negligible. If we were talking about a performance vehicle, then I’d be right there with you, but for a large truck or commercial vehicle, the change in suspension dynamics wouldn’t matter.

What DOES matter is…

The cool thing about ladder frame construction is that, if you don’t have an exhaust, drivetrain and fuel tank taking up the space between the rails, then all of that volume is wide open for shoving in as many battery packs as will fit. It electrifies the truck to a significant degree. So often the complicating factor…

Normally, there are so many comments here complaining that there isn’t an “affordable small truck that is great for honest work” anymore.

As an aircraft engineer I’d have to disagree.
Your system is still a redundancy system but now has codependent redundancy systems working together which are very unlikely to function better than an entirely internal redundancy system. Simple markers on the road with a second set of cameras would work as well or better…

Here’s a concept: inter-vehicle sanity checks.

Or, you know, just crush the junk car they bought for the express purpose of portraying as crushed in their commercial, because what the hell are they going to do with an old junker after they’re done shooting? It’d just go right into the crusher anyway.

Long time lurker but I just had to make an account tonight to post this hot take:

This truck sat for 17-16 years with Loren rotting away, life gets in the way but at no point could anyone be bothered to.... get the title fixed ...search for a radio on ebay ...seal off the hole in the floor ????

Guy got more money for his Jeep than he was asking. Cool Commercial was made. Beer was likely bought. A new Jeep was made out of the Steel from the crushed Crushed Jeep and David can save in 30 years. Circle of Life.

Many of us would have:

This is how I used to change my wiper blades, then one time when I needed change them again I went to the auto parts store but couldn’t find just the rubber strip they only sold the whole wiper arm.

As a Miata owner, I am contractually obligated to point out that while Miatas are front-engined, they do have perfect 50/50 weight distribution. MR2 Spyders are rear-biased, 56/44. That definitely changes the handling characteristics, but whether or not it improves them is, I would suggest, purely a matter of personal…

That is why you never want to own a diesel fueled vehicle.

“it doesn’t seem to leak much”
You’re still operating in Michigan Mentality. This is TUV Territory

You need “It absolutely does not leak at all”  

What happened to Jalopnik? Where are all these hand-wringing hothouse flowers coming from?

7 years?  There’s just barely the beginnings of a bit of dry rot/cracking on the sidewall (I’ve seen more on much newer Michelins before).  It’s fine.

The US needs weird old Soviet shitboxes far more desperately than we do K-car based diesel sadness.

still think one square Cherokee with a 5 speed and 4.0 is enough. the extras could really have been a really nice flat fender willies truck. hell the drive train of one of the Cherokees could have been used to make it usable on Moab.

May not be wise to admit on a public platform that you’re likely still not in compliance. Particularly if the compliance officer was otherwise willing to look the other way.

I feel like Subaru is just being stubborn at this point. The advantages of the flat four just don’t outweigh the disadvantages for cheap cars.
