I’ve seen a mix of owners. Most that I’ve seen have been the upper-middle class type who have a big house but also have to park in a lot, and the regular Range Rover has gotten too large to be as practical as it used to be. For some owners, it’s a style statement, much like the Evoque, but better executed, even better…

Now you’ve made me sad that there’s unlikely to be a next-generation Flex. I’m glad the Explorer has gone back to being RWD-based, but the Flex was a nice compromise between crossover and Taurus Wagon. The power-stowing 3rd row is/was a nice party piece that may not be physically possible in a RWD-based vehicle. Plus…

Well, I’m sold. The Velar is handsome in in pictures, and even more striking in person. Thar’s both inside and out. Heck, on the outside it even makes the regular Range Rover and RR Sport seem almost dowdy and oversized (especially when parked near each other).

You may be interested in the Ferd F-TeenThousand then.

Torque figures for the updated PowerStroke aren’t released yet.

The Big 3 deliberately lump in 250/2500+ sales in with the volume 150/1500 models to make overall sales figures look better. That’s why you’ll hear “F-Series is number one in sales for over 40 years” or “Silverado has the most bed volume of any truck” (or however they say it).

My brother has the 6.2L in his owned work truck. It’s only insufficient for what he does no more than about 30-40% of the time (mostly when towing a skid steer or moving a bed and trailer full of material), but the 6.7L is overkill for his specific needs. The new 7.3L might just be the ticket to get him to buy a new…

I’ve seen single-cab 6-foot-class beds, at least on the last-gen Super Duty. I think those are also the payload rating champs since the bed is lighter and a shorter so stiffer frame.

I’d be curious about seeing a modified Mustang and/or F-150 with the 7.3L crammed in there. 

I imagine those might be the bare minimum. Ford’s claimed it’s “class-leading” in power, and being 1.1L bigger than Ford’s own and Chevy’s gas V8, it needs to be a significant power bump. Ram’s gasser is, what, 6.4?

Yes, it’s the upgrade engine over the base 6.2L V8. The ol’ Triton V10 is no longer compliant or competitive. 

How often are you driving near job sites, lumber yards, hardware/home improvement stores, warehouses, etc.? What time is your commute? It’s entirely possible the folks driving these are already at work or their first job site of the day during your morning drive. 

If he has any diesel Super Duty made in the last few years, it has the 6.7L “Scorpion” PowerStroke V8. The new 7.3L V8 mentioned in the article is a gas engine and will be put in the 2020 Super Duty trucks with that option coming this fall.

Yes. 

I’m about 5'8"-5'9" and got into a 570S with a racing helmet without any difficulty a few months ago. Granted I have a shorter torso but longer legs.

Like? What do you want, a McLaren Urus/Bentayga? A McLaren Camry/Accord/Fusion? The Senna is notably different from the 720S which is notably different than the Speedtail which is vastly different than the 570S/540C/600LT.

As a tech-using adult, how do you find the infotainment system & integration? Also, how much more audible and sonorous is the exhaust on the 600LT vs the 720S? Any odd usability differences between them given their different stages in their respective product lifecycles?

McLaren MP4-12Cs are almost all under $150K. Hoovie got one for $100K in Jersey, so CA prices should be around the $110-130K range, I’d guess without looking at a national database. After a while money can be put towards upgrades and/or making it look like a 650S. McLarens look even better in loud colors like orange,…

Oh, I know quite well. Yet another great reason to avoid them. Just reminding folks to also avoid VAG.

Stepsides don’t count.
