You should see what happened to the Raptor out the door I was $37.5k a 17 or 18 would cost me $75-80k easily in 8 years that’s crazy.

They typically have full control, check lists and Radio calls to make. The auto pilot is mainly used like cruise control to save on fuel costs. Some newer airliners have auto land features. I know Southwest (my dad’s been a pilot for them for 28 years) is to cheap to pay for the automation and figured if they are…

And half of those people were not wearing seatbelts. We could cut it in half by requiring safety inspections and automatic seatbelts.

I’m paying $660 a year for my 2010 Ford Raptor full coverage $500 deductible $300 comp. The 2013 f150 platinum is $1200 a year for the same coverage. It makes no sense.

The problem with that is if the price of a vehicle goes up to much then people will stay with older vehicles longer. For instance my 2010 Ford Raptor cost me 37.5 out the door. A 2018 with the same features stickers for 65k factor in Tax title and registration etc. the cost of the truck has doubled. In the mean time…

I drive roads in the area all the time at night there are are street lights in the area as well the human eye can see a greater distance at night than the dash cam can. You would have breaked further out then swerved. The car didn’t do that. This is a situation I encounter nearly every night commuting to work. The…

Yes and the road the accident occurred on has street lights

I think it’s the resolution of the video camera that’s bad I commute through the Phoenix metro area at night (head to work at 930pm) and I have in one section people who wear black jaywalk all the time. You can see them with your eyes but the dash cam will not pick them up until they are closer. Try taking a video at…

Pickup is the answer. Nasty stuff in the bed if it leaks there’s a hose for that.

I used to do it in the Raptor but not anymore. Putting a more aggressive and a rise in speed limits Resulted in lower mpgs.

I feel you right now I have 2 F150s crowding my apartment complex parking lot.What to buy next.

They will need to agree upon a v2v system then install it on all new cars some will need a few years until their next design cycle to integrate the transponders and recovers required. So 5-10 years after the makers agree on v2v frequency. Then 15-20 years for fleet turn over. I’m thinking over 30 years before V2V is…

It would be easier to program a phone to lock between say 2mph and 200mph than program a car but no phone company will do that.

When I bought my F-150s we literally stumbled on the Raptor that was really close to what I wanted as the owner was coming out of the store with the for-sale by owner sign. My other truck I was just as picky I wanted a 2013-14 f150 platinum in ignot silver with 4x4 5.0 with e-locker, tailgate step, spray in bed liner.…

That’s just crazy with how long car notes last. I have owned my Raptor 7 years, 153,000 and still enjoy driving it. I recently bought a 5 year old used truck to keep the miles off of it. Went on auto trader and there where less than 10 trucks in the country that where in the configuration I wanted the one I bought was…

So a Raptor is 11.3 inches wider than a stock charger/300. Those wheels add a foot to each side. That thing is wider than a raptor needs marker lights.

Have you been in a full size truck lately they are extremely comfortable as a 6’2” guy with short arms and legs and broad shoulders I cannot fit comfortably in 99% of vehicles. I dread trying to squeeze into an Australian Ute. Especially since there is no second row to recline into ( not that I can recline too much…

The pilot is an odyssey without sliding doors it’s a car and so is the Ridgeline.

Do we really want to go back to a time when trucks/SUVs towing trailers were dangerously slower on the highway. When the could not merge or maintain speed on grades. The newer trucks are much better at managing loads going up and down hills which is a good thing considering most people who buy them tow occasionally…

It became a more expensive and less disirable option in recent years. It crazy that the previous generation f150 had the option.But with the smaller steps and larger wheels and tires a spare would not fit in the foot wells
