Whatever you pulled that MPG from, it isn’t correct for the Maverick. I picked a best case / worst case for each. Best case Tacoma, worst case Maverick, the Mav still gets almost 20% better economy.

Which is almost a foot longer, way wider, worse turning circle, good bit more expensive, gets way worse gas mileage, and is pretty uncomfortable. It’s just a way bigger and much more truck like. It’s like saying you should consider a 4Runner because you can’t find a Rav4.

Is a Model T actually hard to find parts for? I was always under the impression that it was always pretty easy to find parts for as well as there aren’t actually that many parts - at least compared to something newer let alone a modern vehicle.

No, there are electric corded hammers and air powered harms as well as cordless electric hammers. Sure, if you go back far enough hammers were cordless because they were manual, it doesn’t mean they all are today. It’s similar to how a hand drill used to be “cordless” just because they were human powered.

Ram TRX? RWD, 700+hp, expensive, enough room to stupidly kill yourself and 4 of your friends (plus more in the bed if you’re extra dumb), tires that can’t keep up with the weight and power on the street if you’re doing dumb things, light rear end, will steam roll people/cars/houses if you hit something insuring…

Explorer also costs like 50%-75% more than a Maverick. You should be comparing Maverick margins to Escape & Bronco Sports which are more comparable in both size, performance, and price.

So you’re blaming a guy who doesn’t want to wear out the batteries in his car, which is probably his 2nd largest investment and that he also depends on to provide him with a wage and only realistic way to get around; and not the power company which has been historically under investing in its capital projects &…

Looks like a horse shoe? Looks more like a yoke to me.

Seems odd that $15k is the “low cost” first car price threshold. I understand that used cars are more expensive, and probably in a bubble right now, but certainly there are plenty safe and reliable first cars for half that, right? Yet they only listed two vehicles under $10k. And just quickly skimming AutoTrader, it…

Based on this article and Duke’s press release, it doesn’t sound as cushy as you describe. No where does it mention Duke will pay or reimburse for the energy they take from your truck. I mean, I doubt they wont, but it would have been nice to at least clarify it since this is so new. If you assume they do, they also…

Yeah, as much as this sounds great, I’m not letting a company put wear and tear on my stuff just so they can save a bunch of money and only give me a measly pittance. Pass.

What? Next you’ll be telling me rich people like the Kardashians don’t get tax breaks, cuts, carveouts, and loop holes the rest of us pleebs can’t.

It said 5 seconds of pedal to the metal to get from 122mph to 130mph. That actually sounds pretty reasonable for what I’m assuming is an E350 coupe.

Alcantara wears like ass. Just because you can afford the car doesn’t mean you want to keep replacing the steering wheel ever 10k miles when it starts to look like ass again. And it clearly isn’t electrical tape, it looks like it’s handlebar tape from a bike. Sure, not perfect, but better than having to continually…

This is proof that just because it’s rare, doesn’t mean it’s valuable.

As an enthusiast, I as really hoping EVs would lead to more RWD cars and GM seems hellbent on sticking to FWD and now AWD when it comes to their “affordable” EVs. Maybe I’m dumb, but I didn’t think there was the cost savings in FWD EVs like there is in FWD ICE cars or the packaging benefits.

Am I the only one that thinks by using Wagoneer & Cherokee everywhere, that it is just getting confusing keeping names straight? The Grand modifier doesn’t even seem to be used consistently. Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Grand Cherokee L, Wagoneer, Wagoneer S, Grand Wagoneer.

Get the Homelink mirror. Then you don’t even have to carry around that little remote.

I always thought these were pretty timeless styling masterpieces and Mercedes’ styling peak. The R129 was the last holdout of both Sacco’s fantastic design language and Mercedes’ overbuilt standard of the world engineering at the time before they went full in on cost cutting. Even with the six, nice price.

SMH, you obviously don’t understand any of this. What sets apart the Lightning from other EV trucks is that it looks like a gas truck whereas the rest of the EV trucks look like EV trucks. The Lightning is different because we specifically chose to be different from the already different trucks by being the same. See…
