In fairness almost all of the Raptor drivers I've seen looked completely punchable so he's not totally off base.

I luckily don't have to go this route very often, but is it just me or is there a higher than average number of people on this stretch who deserve to be stuck in that traffic? I drive all over Phoenix and there are more Traffic Douchebags on that section of road at any given time than anywhere else.

LOL at "Hummer get to pull them out of a ditch".

It could just be an interesting story to tell in between regurgitating automaker press releases, but don't let that stop your classic Gawker Media knee jerk contrarianism. You've been working for Denton too long.

Down here in AZ the vast majority of Titans I see are complete bro dozers. They seem to be especially popular among young 2nd generation Mexican (Latino? Hispanic? Not sure which term is the right one) guys who seem to want to look like bros.

If I were in your shoes and my vehicle was worth enough to justify it, I'd just finance a secured loan on the vehicle itself just to build credit. Yes you'll pay interest, but you don't have to finance the entire value of the vehicle nor do you have to spend the money (you could just set it aside and use it to repay…

But why did you outsource the design to Chinese Ford?

I wish you were right, but given the demographic that seems to love the Titan (bros) why would adding a diesel hurt? Aren't bros the ones who like to "roll coal"? Now they can—in a shitty import truck with their dirtbike in the bed!

Can we not do the false equivalence stuff? We are allowed to expect good things from a manufacturer with experience and buckets of money, neither of which is analogous to your average guy building a truck with his life savings (side note: does Nissan have a life? Why are we anthropomorphizing a car maker by talking…

The only problem is that you are seriously in the minority graduating without debt. I get the economic argument for recent college grads to have reliable transportation to start their careers, but this is also a pretty key strategic time for those recent grads to jumpstart paying off that debt in preparation for…

Educate yourself, my man. If you default on a credit card, there is nothing for the bank to take back to try to recover their losses. For building credit from nothing, financing a car is probably the easiest way to get credit, because the bank knows they can take the car back.

It's hard to tell what is distortion and what is real on the new model, but this looks pretty flat and wide overall; more Chevy than Ford.

I don't doubt there is plenty of recreational use for 250s, but everyone I know that drives a 3/4 ton—including myself—uses it professionally in addition to whatever toys they haul with it.

The northern part of the loop 101 between say, I-17 and basically anywhere in Scottsdale is a special kind of hell, but there is a higher concentration of douchebags on that section of road so I think there is some karma in action there. The area around cave reek exit heading east in the morning is the absolute worst…

Generally, the law about horns is they are to be used to alert others of danger. That is not mutually exclusive with being displeased.

That's the case with selling anything you judgmental dick. Since when are customers not responsible for being their own strongest advocate?

You didn't answer the question. Why should a commercial work vehicle with a good-looking and utilitarian headlight design change? And why should it get more complex and expensive, when its a commercial work vehicle?

Yah I'm not saying they should make it smaller, only that the photo you posted is a prime example of a bro truck gone too far. Blacked out is overrated, contrast matters in design.

Why?

Without contrast, the bumper looks too big.
