Looks like a stretched skidsteer loader, without the handy loader part.

Wow! This is like the slammed truck scene from 1992 Panama City / Ocean Springs / Miami all over again!

I dunno. Maybe because most people are right-handed (or forced to be right-handed), so they can fight off enemies with their sword hand while they are mounting their horse?

I liked loud engines and loud exhaust in Junior High. I think i grew out of it probably when i was a Sophomore in High School.

I just think it would be funny as hell to take either one of these back in time about 30-40 years, and take them to the track to race against the Funny Cars....

It goes beyond that. Traffic lights also have their origin in old mariner tradition. Since the boat pilot sits on the right side of the boat (the starboard side), he may not have a clear view to the left (port) side. Therefore, any boats on his port side must yield to him. This is why the starboard side of the boat…

Part of that is because many Americans still believe that most of the Big3 vehicles are “all-American”. They don’t understand that “foreign” companies like Honda have much more American content in their vehicles than the Big3 does.

Except Tesla. They are the only manufacturer that makes a fat profit off every EV they sell. But they are still a decade ahead of most other mfrs in the EV game.

My wife had an SUV (Trailblazer) and went back to a sedan (Accord). We live in windy country and the sedan deals with the wind much better than the SUVs do. The sedan also handles much better on icy roads.

Whether they step “up” to a Ranger or F150 will depend on what the buyer wants. It can be difficult to go from a unibody vehicle (with its inherent comfort and efficient packaging) to a body-on-frame vehicle, unless you really need the capabilities of the BoF vehicle (which most people greatly overestimate).

I wouldn’t expect big chamges. A little more power, and slightly better economy (1-2mpg). It’s mostly about having a modern powerplant that will also be emissions-compliant after this year.

I wear glasses with yellow tint.... makes those lights less annoying, and brightens up cloudy days!

This is one of two reasons why mid-size pickup trucks have such tiny tanks. A $60 pill at the fuel pump is easier to swallow than a $100 pill, regardless of MPG.

Aren't Dodge and Maserati owned by the same company?

This would be the perfect bike on my brother’s farm/ranch. Could run ag diesel in it. However, it violates the first rule of being a small farm vehicle... it is far too expensive!  It would need to be within 10% of the price of a typical used 2006 KLR gasser.

I’ve mentioned this on here before, but those who ride without helmets should be forced to sign a waiver denying all insirance coverage while riding helmet-less.

I’ll go with the Dodge Rampage concept truck from a couple decades ago.   Just great overall utility. Better than Toyota’s A-BAT concept truck, even!

And you could probably see two or four heads bobbing around up top of that open-air vehicle, in what looked like multiple eyes such as found on a spider.

Agreed.  I could hear a lot better with a full-face helmet on when speeds got above 25-30mph.

In my area, it was only 69% totality. That, along with massive cloud cover, means we barely saw any perceptible change in ambient light.
