>>>Those trucks tip over pretty easily.

Yes, it would have been more surprising if the amount of force had been just enough to leave it on its side.

What he/she said! All excellent advice. 

They trail ride, camp, and hunt in areas protected by the liberals they hate.

Occasionally people actually have a need for a larger vehicle, but the few of you that do have that need do not change the fact that the vast majority of people who own larger vehicles do not have a need for a larger vehicle.

DCT isn’t great if you get stuck, either.  Buddy worked for a Hyundai dealer for a bit, had a Kona with the DCT.  For some reason he tried to follow me in my Xterra down an unplowed driveway, somewhere around a foot of snow.  We managed to push him out, but the smell coming from the clutches was something else.  

Colorado Z71 / ZR2 get the rear sliding window stock, can be added to the lower trims.  Not power, though.  Not an issue with my extended cab, as I can reach it, but with the new ones all being crew cabs that makes it a bit tougher.  You can get a sunroof on the new ones, though.

Re: Santa Cruz

#3 made me laugh because I used to belong in a Miata and MINI forum and they’re the same way. Thank you for the tips

You are absolutely correct, dealers can often match or beat the rates the CUs and banks offer. However, I’ve seen many instances where folks with sub 700 FICO scores go to a dealer and the salesperson says “Well your credit isn’t great the best we can do is 9% APR.” Then the customer says “Ok well I have 5% from my…

Id be happy with 280-300 hp and the front end components from the CTR. Keep it a hybrid so I can commute with my kids comfortably and not spend crazy on fuel. Then I won’t feel guilty when I really get on it when the opportunity arises.

Ok, first the joke...

I wouldn’t even consider a car without an AM radio, much like heat and AC, it’s a required feature, and anecdotally I know many others that feel the same. I listen to it often - both local stations for news, weather, talk as well as distant stations at night. We get night time reception here in New England from…

A baseball broadcast on AM radio is timeless, otherworldly, reliable, and blissful.

Find out tomorrow. Snowboarding will be better this weekend. We had rain last week and they had to make snow to cover up the ice. 

Ford used to make some good reliable vehicles. But they were SIMPLE. Now, they're techy, complicated and kind of fragile. Then they price them way up, and put people into long term loans to pay for them. Prime example, the current F150 warranty is 5 years 60K miles. But they'll finance a loan for up to 84 months.…

Also the American consumer. GM/Ford have been perpetually by decade guilty of one thing or another. But if you want to support American auto which is a big deal for some people, you have traditionally had to go to them.

They hadn’t got the engines or transmissions right yet either. I wouldn’t buy one that didn’t have a Coyote V8, or a later Ecoboost in which the head gasket failures were solved and the GDI was switched to port injection+GDI.

people still think of Fords as reasonably well-built American cars

Ford’s greatest strength has been its marketing department. I think it’s starting to catch up to them.
