This is just an unfounded rumor started by my high school history teacher who was a car aficionado who grew up in the 60s...

Sign of the times?

Having piloted boats for nearly 35 years, the best option (should you find yourself in this scenario) is full reverse, but make sure the bow hits the wave head-on.  Full reverse will lessen the effect of the wave slamming into the boat.

They need the 1980s two-tone paint job to make them look more lean, instead of Boomer flabby.  Then the smaller cab will look better.

Somewhere there is a Ram 2500 with a Lambo V10 under the hood.

We have a couple of the current-gen Durangos at work. Even though they are on what would now be considered an ancient platform, i thought it would be a good base platform for a unibody truck, certainly better than the Maverick.  They just need to fix the twitchy steering.

Over the last decade, Ram has viewed the mid-size class in terms of consumer price rather than physical size. In their minds, the budget-priced Ram Classic filled the mid-sized niche because it was priced like the mid-sized market. They couldn’t fathom that some folks actually wanted trucks that would fit inside their…

When the Dakota debuted in 1987, it was the first mid-size truck.... and it was about the size of the Maverick.  Let that sink in....

Not to disparage the movie, but it is a bit funny that a car cannot outrun an 18-wheeler on curvy mountain roads. Especially given the brake-fade technology on that big rig from nearly 60 years ago.

Diesels also got a huge setback in the U.S. when they were introduced haphazardly in the early 80s into the general consumer market. GM, in particular, turned a lot of folks sour with their 350 diesel, and their non-turbo 6.2L was the epitome of slow. That led consumers to avoid diesel for at least another decade.…

That’s not for a lease (lease is the next category over).

When i bought my Ridgeline in January 2020, i got Honda financing at 0.9% for 72 months.

I think they build the much-more-profitable Bronco on the same line.

Here is ny uneducated take:

I could have told them that and they wouldn’t have needed the resources for the study, and i haven’t been in a bike in almost twenty years.

Last i heard, Teslas lose about 12% of their battery capacity over 200,000 miles. That doesn’t seem too bad.

As well, the latest HiLux trucks have a softer look to them. Not sure how well that will play with certain terrorists who live and die by their phalluses, err, fallacies.

Having grown up on a farm that produced both hay bales and straw bales, i don’t consider them one and the same. Hay is generally cut/dried alfalfa, or in some cases wild hay cut from prairie grasses. Straw, OTOH, is generally the soft stems from harvested small grains, such as oats or wheat. It has much less…

In twenty years, when i can't climb the steps in my house anymore, maybe this will be a cheaper alternative to one of those sketchy chair-stair-lift things.

Of course they want to sell you EV trucks. They make almost all of their profit on ICE trucks, and they want to transition that mindset into the EV world.
