How many of the total number were IM’s? That would be a better comparison.

Yeah, the Cruze looks viable until you start specing it out.

My dad has 3 Puch road bikes. He won them in a sales contest for (german brand) industrial equipment back in the late 80's. I rode one of them through college and he has been riding the same one regularly since the late 80's, which means it’s been on the road around 30 years now with only grip tape, brake pads, and…

60's with 37-40" tires have become pretty standard on serious JK off road builds, so it only makes sense that the combo would carry over to the similarly sized JL.

I like most automatic transmissions these days.

There are three people I know who have Chevy trucks who I talk to about them regularly.

I gets to a point where the line of bikes is too long to pass safely. Then you’re stuck at a third the speed limit for however many miles it is until they pull off or you’re going a different direction, which can be a long time.

I used to ride on the road sometimes, and I have friends and family who still do. I treat all cyclists as if they were my dad or friend, safety wise.

I’ve been pulled over four times.

A few years ago I thought flying one of my dogs, a 70lb lab, to upstate NY for a week of hiking and swimming every year at our family reunion was a viable option, in the cargo hold, of course.

“Contrary to popular belief, regular people who buy regular cars read reviews from enthusiast publications to make their car buying decisions.”

I know i’m a week late to this conversation. Weight savings is a comprehensive approach. Many mass reduction activities on the design side are measured in grams.

The key here is that their payloads are figured out based on a different set of standards.

Joking aside, putting 1500lbs in the bed of each, you could drive the F150 at 100mph down the highway and forget the load is even there. In the Mahindra, you’d be crapping yourself over 30mph... if you get up to that speed.

Towing capacity... isn’t the same as payload. You do realize that his articles are entirely tounge-in cheek, right?

If 8.6 inches is “almost a whole foot,” then I have something very impressive to tell the ladies if I stretch this a bit further.

I was so mad to find out that my truck’s 15 year old CD player was broken a few weeks after I bought the thing. One of many things I didn’t check before buying.

All my language learning software is still on CDs, andI do still keep a few around. I would still buy a car without one. CDs will go the way of the cassette eventually though.

You said it in the article, but again, it’s a lot of “features” and size for the price.

I’m amazed by your ability to be so sure of something you also openly admit to not having experienced.
