OK, that is a good comparison. So even if it isn’t one to one where a 136kWh transit would get 252 miles a 110 kWh promaster should be better than 162 miles. Like i said to someone else, 200 or 225 would be more reasonable, although for a last mile type vehicle anything over 100 miles is probably not really needed…

Transit gets 126 miles on a 68 kWh battery.  So, considerably less efficient than the Ford.

Since these will mostly be operated with a payload. I’m wondering if they underrated this, to get fewer real world complaints.

Different powertrains, which is way enough to make a difference between good and bad.

Don’t buy an A-platform Jetta. But do buy an A-Platform A3? Is there such a lack of options in the small luxury segment that A3 is the recommendation?

I think any sort of boring beigemobile is a perfectly safe buy from a rental car company. Most people drive rental cars exactly the same way they drive their own boring beigemobile. And as you say, the rental agencies do keep up on maintenance pretty well. Certainly better than many who serial lease cars, which is…

I’d be more inclined to agree if we were talking about a car built by a company with a quality control department. 

Jeep owners can be the worst with snow. So many think their “ALL TERRAIN TIRES” means “All Conditions”. I deeply regret renting a Jeep from Turo that the owner swore had winter tires, only to find they were A/T tires. Took that thing to Breckenridge, thank god the highways were plowed that day. If it was a snow day…

Perhaps a mix of B and a large enough offer in cash and desperation influenced that decision.

Ram is probably going to do what Chevy does with their Express cargo vans. Run them forever

I can’t be the only one who thinks this is kind of awesome, right? Isn’t this basically peak-Jalop? Buying the cars of yesteryear that we claim to pine for, but also with a warranty?

You missed one, that might not fit here. But the abandoned part of 61 outside of the abandoned town of Centralia in PA. I think they have all but covered it up now, but it was really cool when I saw it about 7 years ago.

That’s pretty much true for any class of vehicles, in both directions. There are some decent people that drive expensive and/or stupid vehicles. Some of them even use turn signals. There’s also some absolute assholes driving vehicles you’d expect to be driven by the posterchild for “average”, old Volvo’s and Honda…

Or just being nice. Truck driver comes by. Porsche is stuck. Porsche driver tells sob story (aka lies). Truck driver agrees to try to help them out.

Holy crap! my entire F150 is only 5000lbs according to the scale at the dump. It's also faster on a Forest Service road than a Tacoma because the long wheelbase and soft springs take the potholes better.

I park in an underground downtown garage and watching people in those things sloooowly driving under the height limit bar and then trying to navigate the garage / find a space they’ll fit into would be amusing if it wasn’t so annoying to be behind them or trying to fit into a space near where someone has parked a…

Math is power, in more ways than one.

That’s why I only said that I ‘kinda’ feel bad. LOL.

Taking the side of a brodozer driver on Jalopnik is Brave.

I kinda feel bad for the driver of the truck. I guarantee the people in the Porsche never a) warned the truck driver that driving in the mud was illegal despite just being told so and b) that the NPS had already arrived once and was coming back soon-ish. And if a + b are true, they obviously wouldn’t have told them…
