in my state, it’s classified as an antique!

it has an M10 4-cyl, it’s vintage

vintage BMWs are best BMWs

They’re useful too

Are there aftermarket options for a front locker?

When viewed in this context, $75,000 for a new top of the line pickup doesn’t sound too bad. They’re more powerful and capable (not to mention more comfortable) than 25 year old medium duty trucks.

Ford’s only diesel engine offering in their (2017) medium duty F-650s and F-750s, is the 6.7L Power Stroke. Why would they put an engine into medium duty truck, as the ONLY diesel engine option, if it was not up to the task?

You’re welcome, to be honest I didn’t know the difference either until a few years ago when I did a wiki walk that ended up on compression/jake brakes. Fascinating stuff.

Are you sure about that? Last I checked, they only had exhaust brakes (as opposed to compression brakes).

The 6.7L Power Stroke and 6.7L Cummins are both considered medium duty diesel truck engines (just like the Navistar DT series), and are in fact used in medium duty commercial trucks. Dunno about the one GM is using.

I actually saw a HD pickup towing a two-level, 5-car trailer yesterday.

A brand new F-450 could already physically tow 40,000lbs at highway speeeds. It would slow to a crawl up a modest grade though, and be out of control on the down grades.

80,000lbs is the normal cap for GCW in most states, so if the truck weighs 10,000lbs by itself, it only needs to tow 70k.

At this rate, in 10 years we’ll see Ford/Chevy/Dodge pickups being used instead of Freightliners/Kenworths/Peterbilts.

Who needs wealth & family when you can be perfectly happy and fulfilled with video games?

I bought a 1987 Z24 Cadavalier, not unlike this one:

Just because you think trump is a racist, doesnt mean you’re not biased. It means you’re biased against him because you think he’s a racist.

Yeah, outrunning them does no good if you’re driving a prototype car that’s not supposed to exist on the road yet. Unless you’ve got an enclosed transport truck with ramps that’s just waiting a few miles up the road to swallow the car and get it out of sight, you’re SOL.

Oh yes you can, as long as the next exit is before the next cop.

Would have been a much more powerful message if they didn’t include partisan remarks about Trump; Hillary’s no saint either. If you want to motivate everyone to get out and vote, leave bias out of the message.
