I have barrowed money from family members and paid it back with interest or an in the process of paying it back. It was more advantageous for both of us better rates for both of us.

I use USAA they have one physical location and they have sent certified checks from San Antonio to upstate New York for me to put a deposits on an apartmen ( I don’t have physical checks and do all my banking electronically). My bank was the largest to not need a bail out in 2008. It’s gonna rear bumper cause I just…

Ford really likes its concept vehicles to match here’s my pick from the same time frame with the same brushed aluminum look. the Ford Super Chief v10 hydrogen capable ultra luxary HD pickup.

Came here to say something similar. All the people on the internet who said they wanted a new ranger the size of the old one and the new one is just to big and the size of an F150 so they will keep their 1996 ranger that they were to cheap to trade to begin with.

My answer is a Tahoe or Suburban either the GMT 400, or GMT 800 models Most of these vehicles will go for a few hundred thousand miles they cannot go that fast most are limited to 98 MPH. My parents handed down a 99 suburban through 4 Kids My Sister hit an Elk in Montana totaling it and my parent s bought another one…

I think the GMT 400s Tahoe, Suburban, C/K, Yukon are pretty easy to wrench on and have parts available they almost all came with the 350/5.7L Vortec 5700 with runs well. My parents bought a used 1999 Suburban in 2016 with 165,000 miles for the ski house. We use it in the winter to get around Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, …

I think one of the driving factors is that these trucks don’t get upgraded as often. The Tundra has had 2 Generations and 1 Major Face lift in 2014 since it debuted in 1999. Meanwhile the F150 has had 4 body styles, the 97-03, 04-08, 09-14, and 15- Present with Face lifts and interior refreshes in 99, 06, 11, 13, 18.…

While the Blizzak are a good tire I recommended them to my sister who lives and works at a ski area in Montana for her Chevy Cruze, there are some vehicles that they don’t fit. For those vehicles mostly trucks and SUVs I have found the Goodyear Duratrac to be a great tire in the winter. I have had them on my Suburban…

Not Really, in the last 3 years I was unemployed for 11 months the raptor was already paid off. I bought the Suburban when after i fished my sophomore year of college with my savings and paid a lot of money in maintenance expenses. I paid over $7,000 in unplanned maintenance costs from April of my Senior year until…

It would seem that ford still uses the cobra badge on the gt350 and the raptor is named after a Lockeed Martin product which in turn is named after a bird

I’ve had 4 vehicles that I regularly drive in the snow parents 99 Suburbans, my 05 Suburban then my 2010 Raptor and this Christmas my brothers 2014 F150 fx4 All of the vehicles ended up with good year wrangle duratrac tires

The real question is why Mercedes Benz would name an executive car in 1993 after a cargo van that came out in the 1960s.

When I bought my raptor it had only 10,000 miles and had never sean a dirt road. The underside was clean with al the factory stickers in place. I needed to rectify that quickly. But I will buy my next raptor from somebody like that and wail on it.

Exactly, I went with my dad to the new car Auto show in Phoenix last year . The first vehicle we sat in was a loaded F150 King Ranch for $62k, my dad commented “over 60 thousand for a pickup that is insane.” after sitting in and looking at a lot of the other vehicles they had on display my dad commented that the…

Because trucks are really a value when compared to SUVs. You pay less for comparable equipment and can get more vehicle for less money. In addition to the lower MSRP they often revive heavy discounts from the manufacturer. The comparable f-150 and expedition have a nearly 10,000 dollar difference in price and if you…

I think only one current production vehicle has a split tailgate. The Full size Range Rover. The only other vehicles that have tailgates are pickups. All other SUVs seamed to have gone with single doors that lift up.

My then 3 year old fully loaded Suburban z71 trying to be like the SUV commercials

That is similar to what happened to Air France 447 an Airbus A330 worth $233 million. The pitot tubes that indicate air speed stopped indicating correct airspeed the computer could not interpret the results and returned control to a crew that then thought they were over speed and then stalled the aircraft.

F-150 owner here I think the success of the F-150 Hybrid and for the overall market share of hybrid vehicles will literally depend on how well Ford executes this truck. If they can offer the F-150 in Crew cab 4x4 luxury trims without hurting towing, payload or acceleration offer an electric only mode good for 20-30…

the F150 Crew 4x4 in the higher trims weigh just shy of 6000 lbs and have tires that are grippier for better off road traction. These hurt fuel economy plus the 4x4 system cause parasite drag too.
