It was SOP for everything in the AF I was in Vehicle maintenance and had friends in aircraft maintenance. The problem the AF has is that all the airframes are old some require custom fabrication with long lead time to get airworthy again. The navy is harder on planes due to the landing on carriers so they regularly…

I have 2 F150s. One is my truck it does truck things one is a luxary sedan. For the features I wanted an F150 platinum had some of the lowest costs of total ownership. Fill it up with regular vs many sporty sedans these days taking higher octane, easy of maintenance, parts availability. 

It’s surprisingly cheaper total cost of ownership for an F150 than a lot of vehicles. I calculated the Total cost of ownership of all the vehicles my family owned before I bought my DD. My brothers 14 crew 4x4 luxary f150 had a lower total cost of ownership per mile than my dad’s mustang with the same 5.0l engine, my…

You sell it as a ford. Ford switched the badges to ford on the luxary trucks and they took off

Ford got tired of F150 owners asking for Lincoln features on the F150 and rebadged the Lincoln as the f150 platinum for 2009 and it took off. It continued as a Lincoln in Mexico until 2014. It sold better branded as an F150 than a Lincoln. they rolled that package to the superduty then came out with the limited on top…

It depends on your torso and inseam some of us have short legs and arms but tall torsos so we sit taller than others. We cannot recline the seat to fat as our arms might be shorter. I’m 6’1” I cannot sit in many sedans I have two brothers who are 6’2” they fit because shorter torsos and longer arms. My youngest…

You know that’s why GM went bankrupt. 

No but you will see many people including me keep older trucks that are paid for and use what we would be using for a payment to pay for gas. 

No. I can still afford Gas for my Raptor my 80 mile round trip commute and my off roading. My front line team members can barely make it you raise gas prices they cannot feed their kids , pay their bills and end up in a debt spiral. The city I live in does not have good mass transit and it’s too late to change that…

I agree that’s why I drive an F150 as my Dd I want some smaller sports cars but I sit too tall. I remember riding in my friends Sabb 93 in high school we would open the moon roof and I could stick my head out lol. 

I was I chile a week ago it I too was shocked at the variety of cars avalible. 3/4 ton rams , late model crew cab f150s H2s and H3s I have a shot with a Pugot , a Lada, a rav 4 and a 2018 F150 in it. I saw more raptors in Punta Arenas than I do on my morning commute which is hard because my next door neighbor and I…

Maybe if you had non emotional conversations and discussed the reasons why they choose who they voted for you could understand their priorities and why they voted the way they did. You could also remain friends. I have friends across the political spectrum. I find the people who don’t want to hear opposing views to be…

I grew up in the 90s and early 00s my parents had an 86 trooper a 95 Suburban and a 99 Suburban in college I had an 05 Suburban you can absolutely do what’s discribed in those vehicles. Half the time we climbed over the seats to get into the back anyways and my dad or mom would climb out of the front seat if we were…

Supercharged 5l and SVRs are sporty in that department 

I think that’s because of the other options that come with that truck. If you spec a non sport truck that’s mechanically identical it will be the same. Source I have an F150 platinum that is mechanically identical to my brothers F150 with Fx4 sport etc mine is 2 lbs lower due to some extra leatherbits and rain sensing…

Sport on a pickup truck typically means for people with a more active lifestyle not about being a sports car. 

Really every work place should be unionized? I disagree not everyone is in a high skilled trade. I have managed in union shops good and bad managed in non union shops good and bad and my dad is a union member for his job. Unions only need to exist when the leadership fails. My dad’s job the union is more for…

If employees don’t like their wages they can look else were. I can understand some skilled positions needing some collective bargaining but amazon is one of the better paying in the warehouse game which is not a skilled position. I work in a warehouse and Amazon pays better than the 100 or so warehouses in a 20 min…

Yes they can but then all the people are without work. Because if the issue they have contention with cause the location to become unable to compete in the global market. I work in a warehouse that does e commerce for a customer if our team were to strike we would loose the contract and everyone would be out of a job…

I’ve dont something similar came over a hill doing 20 over in southern Utah on a 2 lane road. The state trooper is in a pull off flips his lights on I pull over immediately he comes over does the listens and registration thing and asks me to slow down. Then let me go. When you admit your mistake they are more…
