Defiantly Getting a Next gen raptor was planning on staying with white but really like the Avalanche Gray Color only thing left to decide is whether or not to switch to the crew cab this time around. Defiantly not getting a sun roof either way, current truck has one and Inever use it. But the pano one doesn’t seen…

Haha Yup. Mines a 2010 and I haven’t lived more than 1.5 miles from work since I owned it, was unemployed for 8 months and it was in the shop for 3 months following an accident.

I think it really depends on a lot of things I’m the same height as you but know I have a long torso and cannot fit in a 2015 Passat comfortably and have trouble getting in nearly any sedan. I hit my head on the roof of a 2011 mustang when I swerved to miss a some junk in the road. I have also had problems with GM…

Most of the cities have heavier use of diesel vehicles which pollute more or they have smaller cars without good emissions controls.

Pounce in them, sometimes a little too hard, but nothing better tires cannot solve.

Unlike you i actually have a degree in climate science there are many factors that effect the earths climate and humans represent a tiny fraction remember that global warming is a theory not a fact. It is now know that the large burring orb of gas in the sky we call the sun has its own weather patterns as well which…

Why wouldn’t Phoenix be there? It hasn’t had the water problems of LA? Miami is having problems because they built heavy high rises on sand bars. You don’t hear about the much heavier New York City sinking. Look at Venice in Italy that place was built on bad soil like Miami. Additionally the climate is always changing…

Phoenix is the 12th largest metro area in the country and this is just not feasible it has so much sprawl that you'll never get the density you need. Because the homes are already built and even if they go down in value some one will by them and just take a longer commute.

I had a 2011 Ford F-350 as a work truck with this feature and manual Windows and door locks and it was extremely annoying what was wrong with the system my 2010 F150 had. I understand the luxary of having 3 blinks to pass but it changes up muscle memory that's based on the old style.

I got a loaded raptor 5.4l for less than a base 4x4 suburban of the same year could be had for. Through my life the silvarado k1500 has been 70-80% of the price of the suburban but with better incentives. But remember that GM didn't makes halfton crew cab until 2004 unless you count the Avalanche so when they came out…

Exactly I’d prefer an SUV over a pickup truck, my first two vehicles where Suburbans but I needed better off road performance and maintain the ability to seat 5 people and carry all my camping / shooting/ ski gear I was able to get a ford raptor for significantly cheaper than a suburban with the same year and options.

Its all about the dealer experience for most people luxary or not. One of the Ford dealers I frequented (yes I know it’s not a luxary brand.) Had a seperate area for pickup truck owners and lower pressure sales staff in that area. They knew that the average f serise that the sold was in the mid $50k range in that…

If he does scrap it I would expect the super hornet to be the next choice with it going out of production soon Boeing will want to keep the line open longer and offer a deal. Additionally the RCAF uses hornets currently so there is some cominality with training and parts. The European planes are metric for all the…

The old escalade was defiantly badge engineering at its worse but it is still just a Tahoe with a higher trim they even offered a suburban in 06 with the escalade drive train. But the Tahoe ltz has more in common with an escalade than a Tahoe LS. The Tahoe and escalade have more in common that the F150 models and trim…

2.0 my understanding is all the affected us models are 2.0 I don’t think the 1.4 is avalible in the US. My mom had on 04 Jetta with a 1.9 diesel

No even the 2012-15 passats where effected they have AdBlue. My mom had a 12 and now a 15

Back in 2012 I went home to Arizona with my Raptor on a weekend where a bunch of guys on an owners forum where doing a meet up and off road trip. Normally when I’m on dry dirt roads traveling at a high rate of speed I use off road mode (different throttle map and braking setting, ability to use e-locker at will) in…
