That is not a 97 TL Rear End...

I lied. I spent the saved $$$ in my head. ~$250 for Traxda 2" Lift Front and Rear. $600 for Four 235/80/17s Kumho Road Adventure AT51 On/Off Road Tires. Wheel Paint in Matt Black and keep the all Black look.
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/720000588/overview/ So Yeah, its 4 doors, almost a truck, 4wd, and still fairly cheap to maintain verse an older pickup... And $1,000 under budget for being on the wrong coast.
The Tesla Model 3 uses 14" Front and 13.2" Rear disc brakes which will not clear a 17" wheel. The problem with an EV is the heavy and repetitive breaking for a car that weighs close to 4,000 pounds. I believe original reports tried to get a 17" Wheel, but the rotor could not be larger than 13". Same thing happens to…
Chevy, Ford, and Toyota have a full line up. It’s why they sell so many cars in the US. Because of one Brand, across multiple lines, in one dealership. FCA has failed to recognize that. Dodge should be THAT brand. There should be a Sedan/Hatch/Coupe/CUV competitor for the Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, Taurus segments.
Take old RL and C-Class and sell both. Buy a 4G TL SH-AWD with 6-speed manual. Problem Solved.
How many people will attempt to take their “old” Willy’s VIN and register their Roxer as a rebuilt Willy’s?
I do. 97 with 180k miles :)
Reminds me of an old quote. Safety for the sake of progress is not safety. Autopilot should not and can not be relied on. But the fact you have so many adopters means the tech is getting better and better with use. You have to start somewhere. And the sample bias plays a factor because if this were not a tesla, it…
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/718804144/overview/ Get a CPO version with less then 7k miles and negotiate the hell out of it. Since you mentioned kids, save the $15-$20k.
Wow, alot of hate on Tesla here. I for one own an old school Acura NSX, Have owned an E36 M3, and consider myself an enthusiast. I as well am on order for a Model 3. And I just purchased a used Model S to become a Tesla owner and get priority in delivery on my Model 3. That is what I would do here. A used Model S P85…
Forget Rover, they should call it Range. Especially for an EV. The Range Anxiety is real.
Ford, build these: 3.5 HO EcoBoost 450HP Mustang with a 3.5 HO EcoBoost 450HP F150. Black on Black Combo.
I was gonna go Taco, but a used Ridgeline makes more sense. Can actually hall 4' wide material in the bed, has 4 doors and drives like an SUV, and can tow a small boat. And if the old Taco couldn’t survive Harvey (in old Top Gear spirits) then I dont see the need to get another “real” truck. Besides you can get some…
Agreed! Jeep and Ram are the only way FCA can become truly competitive across their entire range. I feel bad for dealers. Jeep has 6 models (Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Wrangler, Compass, Patriot, Renegade.) Chrysler has 3 (200, 300, Pacifica) Dodge has 4 (Charger, Challenger, Journey, Durango). Chevy and Ford each have…
Jeep and Ram are the only things carrying FCA... Such potential, but just hasn’t executed as expected.
Am I the only one who noticed that they show the Aston Martin when talking about the Maserati Ghibli?
2006 Land Rover (I know) Range Rover (I know) Supercharged (means expensive) without Doug’s CarMax warranty (dumbest person on the plant, I know...)
All these trucks have cool “off-road” (manly) versions except this thing. I can’t help but wonder how many Toyota TRD Pro, Ford Raptors, Ram Power Wagon, Colorado ZR2 (not as cool sounding, I know) are purchased even though they will rarely go off road. The ridgeline needs one. Badly. It’s okay if its unibody, but…
