That’s the GVWR of the Pacifica. The Pacifica curb weight is 4521 lb. Im pretty sure that list is just GVWR and not actual curb weight. 

Hell, a 6,000lbs weight limit, means that many modern trucks, SUVs, and electric cars can’t use it either.

Well. My preference of gas stations are...

I mean, it was reported on -here- even

EDIT: CRAP, Delete that. I just clicked on the link and found that was a fatal accident.  No jokes about that.

Right.

I wonder if this is the Cybertruck that crashed in Texas. https://abc13.com/post/driver-dies-fiery-tesla-cybertruck-crash-fisher-road-chambers-county-texas-dps-says/15145937/

The worst mods for me are the mindless ones. Oh, you drove your Wrangler straight from the dealer to a shop to get 37" tires, spacers, the “angry” headlight covers, leds, etc., how original. Same with lifts, rolling coal, etc. I mean, if you just want to drive a stereotype...cool...I guess.

So do electric/hybrid vehicle braking systems fare better in high heat situations?  Are they constructed in such a way as to deal with heat more effectively?

Most vehicle fires here happen because brakes overheat going down steep grades.

yeah ford won over a lot of people with the ecoboost v6 but they were not crazy enough to stop selling a v8 even today almost 15 years later!!   

I’m going to guess the recent MBA grads thought they’d “cut costs” by eliminating the cheaper, volume sellers, and boost profits by building “high margin” stuff.

The handwriting has been on the wall for Stellantis for a while, if you ask me — anyone could see that their product line was withering, they weren’t really trying to do anything new, and they were unsustainably pushing their cash cows (jeep and ram) to higher price points so as to generate revenue. Time for their…

At every company I’ve ever worked at, the last person you’d want personally handling the nuts and bolts of the business is the CEO. That person knows the least about the actual day in, day out grind of the business of being a business. The CEO is there to attract investors and lobby for contracts, government…

Roll the Dodge, RAM, Jeep, and Chrysler brands together under the glorious Plymouth banner.  Duh!

300, Charger, Challenger, all dead. Chrysler has 1 product (Pacifica around since 2016 with little changes). Dodge consists of the Hornet and the ancient Durango which will either go out of production or get replaced. The Ram no longer has a V8 (and a Hemi at that) and good luck trying to market to the same people…

First gear is a ridiculous situation to see if only because it was obviously going to end that way when the Land of Forgotten Toys that is Stellantis spun itself into existence. They assumed that the money printing machine didn’t require oiling. Even Sergio (and Carlos is no Sergio) struggled with the complexity of…

@Jalopnik can you do a similar list of lowest average costs to get a vehicle to 250k miles? If you include/exclude fuel it could really alter results. But in terms of average repair costs over the life of a vehicle it would be interesting.

Am out there daily-ing a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee ecodiesel. Now at 155k. Apart from the recalls and one broken radio, nothing wrong with it. Just keep feeding it clean diesel (without the bio in it...)

1. Practical vehicles (chosen for substance over style). 2. Repairability (many front-engine, RWD/AWD + parts available for reasonable prices). 3. Hybrids (driven gently by people focused on maximizing mpgs). 4. Manufacturers willing to slightly overengineer (compared to their competitors).
