The price increases in general suck, but also look into the options.

People arent leasing right now because the manufacturers have completely stopped subventing lease rates and residuals.

With how much universal praise this system receives, I’m taking peoples word for it that it is extremely well-engineered and thought out. 

I dont know if I’m startled at the thought of people using this to pay less attention when towing, or if I’m at ease because it probably handles the truck in a safer manner than the average driver.

Correct, If it were under some grand scheme it could be malicious, but this is just SO many people, organizations, and authorities operating at the same time. It’s crazy as all heck. 

“Why would any buyer do that?”

It’s got us thrown into a frenzy. Our dealer group set cash aside for the downturn, when you have 200 plus used cars across 3 stores, and an average markup of 2400 bucks, a 5 percent drop is EXTREMELY scary. We shipped a lot off to auction to try and get out ahead of this, and we’re in the process of replenishing at a…

I LOVE that they pushed the Cab forward, and kept the hoodline so low. Visibility in full size trucks is not talked about enough.

Gauge clusters are something I nerd out on, and the F50's is DIVINE

That’s totally fair, I get it. But I dont see why applying the brakes and throttle at the same time (a common technique used when off-roading) will send it straight to 2wd. Why not just design the PCM to only allow for 49% throttle when the brakes are applied?

I love it, but I can’t get past the clutch-based transfer-case. I understand these modern trucks have systems in place to prevent damage, but losing 4wd in the middle of a difficult obstacle is annoying at best, unsafe at worst.

BINGO.

Now I know its not just me! Every other time we have a WRX on the lot it seems like I have to STAB that clutch down to get it to start

These two are the standouts to me because of all the combined factors. I learned in my Geo Tracker, which itself was terrific, but the clutch was like and on/off switch and the super super short wheelbase made it prone to bucking like crazy. My bronco 2 was decent as well, but that super long 1st gear made hill starts…

I’ve taught a LOT of people to drive stick, and I believe the best by far to be the Jeep Wrangler Tj. Plenty of torque, a long, forgiving clutch with good feedback, a low first gear, long, deliberate throws with a nice, re-affirming “click” into gear, they just make it very simple.

Good riddance. 4 or 5 years ago they were still a solid choice, leases were cheap and they could be bought new pretty much loaded for the low to mid 30s.

Working for a good one! I cant get into everything without making it sound like a sales pitch, but there isn’t a bad person that works here. Zero greed, zero hidden bullcrap, an obsession with keeping customers happy, all through the pandemic mess we never did market adjustments, hell the only vehicles we ever sold…

Ever since I was a young lad, I wanted a Toyota Tacoma. I grew up in the 90s riding around in beat up Fords and Chevy’s, never really seeing one in person, because there were no Toyota dealers within an hour’s drive. But in magazines, on TV, and on video games, it was the king. I loved how they looked, and I heard…

I think they can certify about anything they want, IF they want. But that big IF is the problem.
