My apartment complex has 3-400 spaces and 4 ev charge points. I saw a plug in Prius there regularly for a few months when I first moved in but now it sits empty. So newer ones are installing charge points during construction but there are many older areas and places with street parking that it’s just not doable. I…

Grew up not being allowed to eat in cars, the night carpooled with a family when I was younger who let their kids eat in cars , the smell or rotting nastiness made me never want to allow that In my vehicles. I am also appalled by the lake of maintenance and worn tires on people’s vehicles. I follow the maintenance…

Boeing’s workers are not going to feel that as they have years worth of backorders.

I agree completely I have towed cross country and it would have taken extra days if I had to stop to recharge instead of throwing gas in the tank. Ford released a customer survey at an investor meeting talking about how it was trying to think of ways to sell people in hybrid F150s. ( this is the company that sold…

Elon and his engineers need to spend some serious time in the current full size offerings from GM Ford and Ram and see what they do right with reguards to interior, features and ergonomics. I have spent seat time in all the big 3 and Toyota’s current offerings. I have owned Chevy trucks and currently own Ford trucks.…

My question is what vehicle does the op think has more room in the first 2 rows than a late model crewcab pickup for this side of $100,000. 

I have a 2013 F150 09-14 generation and the interior is huge. I actually fit 4 across on the back bench for a short drive easily. The rear leg room is crazy too you can recline the front seat pretty far and my brother who is 6’4 will not hit his knees on it. You can get 6 seat Ford’s up to lariat trim levels whic can…

I agree as well why not pay slightly more for unlimited with hot spot than unseemly more for a bill for your car. Additionally why not enable the kids devices not to use data. Ie paly games that are on the devices or shows on the devices. I downloaded entire series from Netflix onto my iPad through the Netflix app for…

But those airplane seats can be just as nasty too. My family must be one of those strange groups of people who take care of their rental cars. I actually washed an f150 I rented in Utah after it got road grime on it following a blizzard. Yesterday we were hiking in The mountains of Thailand sweated through our…

My dad does this all the time taking on all sorts of tasks that take him way to long to complete. He wanted to re pair the whole exterior of my parents house this summer in Arizona. I told him that doesn’t make sense because as an airline pilot he can spend 2 days picking up extra trips to pay a painter for all the…

My brother and his wife are like this buying cheap vehicles for a few grand that then require a lot of money to keep running. My brother came back for a dypolyment to the Middle East and was moving to Korea 9 months later. My youngest brother and I told him he should get a 3-4 year old pickup since it would keep its…

Sometimes to many people have their phone book downloaded onto the cars system and paired and that can cause the system to glitch out. I always delete the logs in a rental car before i pair my phone and delete my stuff out of the vehicle when i return it. I have rented multiple Fords and own a Sync 1 and Sync 2…

That’s a relatively new thing. GM ruined the interior of their current generation of SUVs but in the 90s when I was growing up the Suburban has the most room, my parents fit 6 kids in it. I remember going on vacation were we flew in and rented a minivan that didn’t have the room for all the stuff we had fit in the…

It depends on the vehicle and how tall you or your spouse are. One of my friends has a current gen 4 runner and cannot sit in front of his sons rear facing infant seat. If you have frequent passengers that have a tall hight when sitting you need a vehicle with more room. My youngest brother is 6’5” and can squeeze…

Modern springs are engineered so the ride is more compliant if the bed is empty or full however this puts the beds of trucks higher. Also an old truck like that the springs may have flattened out and need to be replaced. Additionally larger radiators increased hood hight as you no longer see signs to turn off the AC…

I work in manufacturing of snack foods. We would sell a smaller bag for 1/3 the cost of a bag with 8x the chips, so there is profit in selling something smaller for more per unit, but yes the labor costs would be the same and the only difference would be the marginal material costs per unit which would only be a few…

Every one keeps saying buy an SUV instead of the truck ignores the fact that an SUV often times costs more than a pickup comparably equipped in the case of Full size it can be a $20k difference. the closest i found was the 4 runner and Tacoma have a $2k difference. but for most people the pickup is a value proposition…

I was in the same boat as you were a few years ago. I wanted the Tacoma TX Pro Baja (Renamed to TRD Pro) in manual, I was able to Get A Super Cab Raptor for less money that had more features, additionally I could not sit an adult behind me in the Taco but can in the Raptor. The Raptor Came with both front seats being…

I am tired of this assumption, I just parked my Raptor Next to a Jelly ben F-150 97-03 body style, the Raptor was slightly shorter , Has a bigger cab but smaller bed. sits about the same hight and with the mirror pretty much the same width, also the beds were the same land hight but my raptor has a higher bedsides.…

Well an comparable F-150 will set you back $40,500. And judging of the difference in lease costs between it at a Colorado of $24 a month most will look at that and make the determination based on “ I can get a full size for only $24 a month more.” At the end of the day thats what most people who don’t have a limited…
