Yes the eastern seaboard would work but you would need to eminent domain a lot of different expensive land areas to get the track straight enough to run fast. The most passengers the Eurostar took was 9.1 million in 2008 between two cities the size of LA that was much more dense. Eurostar even lowered their prices to…

I don’t really consider those countries to be more or less civilized . High speed rail doesn’t work in this country because the distances are much greater than in Europe. Combined with our more rugged geography makes air travel a more cost effective alternative. US population density 33/km^2. The U.K. Is 271 people…

In that case when their is no reduced lighting but visibility is still poor than people need to do the common sense thing and turn on their lights. I drive a white truck and when the sky is grey in the winter I drive with my lights on but in 99.99 % of the time the auto function works well.

What about humans or bikers or bicyclists who wear dark cloths. Lots of people wear dark cloths at night will the lidar system not see them either ? What about service members whose uniforms are designed to not show up on NIR sensor systems like lidar. Until the vehicles can detect anything they can potential interact…

On the newer f150s if you use the wipers with auto lamp the lights come on. So some vehicles do account for weather.

I have left all my vehicles with auto their unless I felt I needed extra illumination and the sensor would not give it. In my truck if the wipers are set to intermintint mode the lights come on even if the dash does not illuminate. It’s interesting what you say about Canada as my brothers truck is the same generation…

I know of ford raptor owners who would do that if they got them for MSRP then after a year they could trade them in due to the way the values were calculated due to high resale value those trucks have. Additionally if you buy a new diesel HD during truck month with incentives and get some sort of family and friends…

In most situatiobs ABS doesn’t engage because locked wheels stop faster. On my Gen1 Ford Raptor it you turn on off road mode and hold the traction control button for 8 Second it retards the abs activation and will lock the brakes at speeds below 20 mph. This allows the truck to stop quicker when you need to in low…

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.
