60 vs 45 is obviously hyperbole. But, you will be paying about $5k more for the Glad vs an equivalent Ranger. And you’ll be giving up amenities at every level in favor of offroad capability (considering FX4 isn’t on par with the Rubicon upgrades). It’s an expensive truck.

I’ve been toying with the idea of finding another clean square-body Blazer (full-size), since I still have a soft-top for it. I love the ability to use it as an SUV or a truck, depending on my need. I’m going to look hard at this Bronco when it’s released, but I feel like it’s sure to start at over $35k for a 4x4.…

I have zero faith in the current POTUS doing anything with Americans’ benefit in mind. That said, I’m not all that quick to jump on either side of a bunch of Billionaires fighting over which of them get to keep the most of our money. Everything the auto industry execs say are taken with a pillar of salt.

Yeah, this is more fed from the Manf. end. I get why; Each drivetrain option is expensive for them, so they want to minimize the range to what sells ’best’. Automatics sell better per-trim that they’re both available on, so they only put the manual on one trim (usually Base stripper), and then say that Manuals only…

That would be great, as long as Mazda is able to inject some fun back into Subaru, instead of having fun sucked away by the CVT Least-common-denominator vehicles that Subaru makes now.

Canyon buyers really have to be committed to only buying a Canyon. Even leftover 2018's have about $6k (advertised) cash on the hood. Whereas the Silverado/Sierra can have 13+ grand sitting 8ft off the ground above that massive grill. An equivalent Full-size works out to about the same price as the (not-small)…

“that came out wrong”

I had a 1st Gen Probe (‘90 LX) in HS. I’m super conflicted. Sometimes it was a lot of fun. Other times..: 2 failed transmissions, every single exterior latch failed to either engage or disengage, the exhaust rusted through (in NM!), and the PS pump ejected it’s shaft. All before it reached the mileage of this one.

Thanks Harley

Go full Eff-It  and throw in an LS, too. Bonkers budget Rally-Fighter.

Wow. I had no idea that existed. First thought: I wonder what the salesmen say if you ask to see one and you’re not a woman. 

In a city where your destination is measured in blocks, sure. But the United States has a vast majority of land not contained in Urban areas. For we rural and suburban commuters, having the ‘puter take care of the 20+mile drive (each way) would be great.

Yeah, the article that he linked to actually says the opposite of “That button does nothing”. It specifically points to differing levels of control, depending on cycles and intent, including your situation.

We’ve got 20 votes for NP now. 

Point of fact:

If they aren’t going to have real names either way, the numbers at least make more sense than a smattering of letters. 

Pulling the interior out of an old Buick Wildcat, found an old switchblade, the kind that came straight out and could be turned into a blade shooter. This was back when knives like these were illegal pretty much everywhere if I remember correctly. My cool uncle found it and gave it to 11yr old me. Mom confiscated a…

Another benefit of full-electric drivetrain: Very few moving parts, relatively speaking. It’s theoretically much easier to make them reliable. 

I’m not really sure who this makes sense for. You can get a brand new f-450 with close-enough to 1000lb-ft of torque for the same price. I suppose if you have some kind of heavy equipment business that operates WAY out in the boonies, the fuel capacity is necessary. Otherwise, this just seems purely compensatory and a…
