I have a 2000 4.7L 4WD club cab. The only thing missing from being peak truck is a sliding rear window and cozy wings.

Haha that plate

second-row seat that stores under the rear cargo floor, allowing you to switch between seating for seven or eight. Honestly, that sounds pretty cool.”

They kept using 3G on a 2018 model?  Wow.

If BMW continues like this and Cadillac manages to not fuck up the Lyriq launch (unlikely, because GM) then the Lyriq actually has some pretty good chances. Super Cruise is best in the industry, and supposedly the Lyriq will get all-bespoke switchgear (I’ll believe it when I touch it). I even think it’s fairly

FWIW, the Model Y is $40k cheaper, also has better range than the iX, and even offers a third row option (albeit, a little cramped). The iX clearly wins on fit and finish, luxury features, and driving experience and I don’t think anyone will refute that.

Stop using logic and reason articles like this. They are indirectly paid advertisements that keep the gears greased.

Model X seats 7 though, right? That is a pretty big difference. Model Y is significantly cheaper and probably a more apt comparison. I know the iX is roughly Model X-sized and physically bigger than the Model Y, but the additional seating is a big deal for many.

It just seems like the only suitable response to all of this is Fuck GM.

What Tesla can do that? I don’t think that’s accurate. As far as I’ve read the F150 is the only EV on sale that can do it. 

Part of me wonders if they don't do this with Fiat because Fiat and CJDR share dealers. And just try to imagine a RAM buyer and a Fiat buyer in the same showroom with a full line of quirky I-Talian vehicles. It'd be anarchy.

Hence the reason most of the dealers are next to the used car lot - why buy used when you can buy new with a warranty for the same price, even if the experience would be better with used?

As someone who works in the auto industry as an engineer, the idea that we are 2-3 years away from supply recovery is absurd. That might be what dealers want people to think, but it’s not what’s actually going on.

As with all Maverick models, the Tremor can tow up to 2,000 pounds or carry up to 1,200 pounds of payload in the bed.

You are stuck thinking in the past when a 4 cylinder motor made no power and was saved for economy cars. Modern 4 cylinders with turbos exceed the power of yesteryears V8s. My old 4.6 Ford made like 210hp and 280 ftlb of torque.

The thing is - he ran into a moving tail rotor. It doesn’t matter why, it doesn’t matter how cautious and wary a person he was. He walked into his own demise. It’s a tragic incident and I don’t blame people for looking for...something. blame, anger, etc.

The last car loan I had was 0% for 36 months. So I’m supposed to pull cash money out of my portfolio because why?

Increasing battery capacity increases both range and power. So, probably not, since people are going to want longer range EVs.

It’s the nature of ALL press. I’m sure if we go back to cruciform tablets, the stores were “Babylon Chariots cutting staff due to horse shortage.” instead of “King’s horse wins race against 500 competitors (who all strangely got ill)“

FYI, the word to use there is “biased.”
