My parents ran out once in the suburban due to the fuel gauge sticking showed a 1/4 tank or around 150 miles or so luckily we where right in front of a gas station when that happened and the truck was under warranty so GM fixed it. I'm guessing that your charger is from the muscle car era, I’m pretty sure the hellcat…

The vehicle I drove growing up (1999 Chevy suburban k1500) had a 42 gallon tank. At current prices it would cost $84 to fill up. It averaged 13mpg so still went 560 miles between fill ups. When you live out west sometimes you get a little range anxiety. I had this happen right as I was coming into Larimie Wyoming in…

Most air lines charge fees for things these days a fee for unaccupanied minors. A fee for checked bags fees for carry-ons fees for food fees for drinks fees to change bookings fees for cancellation fees to board early etc. the airlines would get sued if they charged people for their “support animals” b/c they have a…

That’s pretty much what I said. Animals like seeing eye dogs are trained to be service animals 99.9% of support animals are people’s pets that don’t want to pay fees for their pets. So they have a doctor write them a bs prescription for them to need Fido and the animals are required to be allowed or the people will…

The problem is everyone who wants to bring their pet place get their pets certified as emotional support animals. I know of veterans who have some animals for PTSD issues and I also know people who don’t want to pay fees for pets in apartments flying what have you and get a letter from their doctor saying they need…

Then those that need to go off road and need better aproach and departure angles will step up to HD pickups and all the posers will follow and you will go from being hit by a 4700lb f150 to a 7,000 lb super-duty.

IDK about number two I have had 2 suburbans and a ford raptor without a back up camera and the tea visibility out of those boxy vehicles is better than most of these modern sedans which have swooping rooflines and large head rests. And higher trunk lid heights and higher c pillars.

Most midsize cars weigh over 3500 lbs empty and some of us drive bigger cars cause we need to carry more/bigger things. My current vehicle has a curb weight of 5900 lbs and while it’s the heaviest vehicle I’ve owned it’s the most agaile and has the best stopping power. I grew up driving the family suburban and don't…

Probably 10k with comparable equipment will see when the pricing comes out. I know last time around my 5.4 l raptor was actually cheaper to get slightly used than the TRD tx pro Baja Tacoma (later became the TRD pro) which was new for 2011. I like the idea of a factory quasi pre runner that I don’t have to mod. Saves…

I agree on what your saying on the diffs but I will be cross shopping the2017 TRD Pro with the 2017 raptor just like I did the t/x pro Baja Tacoma and the 2010 Raptor before it. Ended up with the Raptor. Like an elocker that can be engaged in 2wd 4hi and 4lo at any speed on demand. Like it a lot better than the g 80 I…

This might just be in the running as a replacement to my 2010 raptor if they offer it with heated leather seats and manual transmission I'm sold

Guess you never saw me. I had owned it for 2 months when these pictures where taken passing through visiting my little brother on my way home after trading in Alabama.

Thanks for the info Mike, I look forward to ordering my next raptor soon. Just wish the 2.7l was an option to replace my 5.4l didn't need the 6.2l. Would rather have the extra MPGs of the smaller motor than the acceleration of the bigger one.

Most of the FR-S I have seen in the wild where rebadged as GT86 toyotas. I think most tong people would rather have a “Toyota” than a “scion”. One is the “brand name” the other is a knock off lol

I think Lockheed did it better.

No they are not Per CARB:

Nah this looks like it happened in Arizona the pickup guys where from Texas

The governments fleet vehicles all need to be tested and meet emissions for were they are operating. I ran a vehicle management/maintenance shop on a military base with over 1400 vehicles. Had to smog everything that was capable of going on the road. We also had to pay Utah all the applicable emissions fees for each…

It looks to me that the people lost it trying to pass the car stopped at the top of the hill. The ford truck didn't loose traction till it went to pass the stopped vehicle. When you loose forward momentum on a hill with low traction it's all over.

when I driving on road trips or to ranges etc. not for storage, some jurisdictions don’t allow you to have them in the cab. the Bed cover locks and is harder to break into than the cab , plus a few large cases and your filling up the back seat that might have people or gear that I want completely warm and not hot or…
