Answers will be very different for owner-operators vs fleet drivers. I don’t know what percentage of each make up the industry as a whole.

While we’re on truck trivia, the engine compression brake (or the trademark “jake brake”) is one of the cooler technologies. Under engine braking, if you are above a certain speed, in gear, and foot off accelerator, the engine brake will engage if enabled. When you’re off the accelerator, there is no fuel going into…

These?:

They reduce water spray at higher speeds.

And the hose you see maintains equal pressure between the two dual tires

US licenses used to have the same restriction, based on whether to took a road test with a manual or automatic, but it seems most or all have dropped that. Just a minute of googling didn’t find if that’s universal, or when it changed.

With 4-door trucks being the norm now, a utility trailer is really the best option for weekend DIYers. I’ve got a Tacoma for towing capacity, but the bed is useless for so many things. I can’t even put a motorcycle in it without putting it at an angle corner to corner.

I have a ski boat, but I’d still like a stand up jetski. But I wouldn’t be comfortable with the pollution impact unless it was either 4-stroke, or something like 2-stroke with Ficht injection. Carbureted 2-strokes are massive polluters, and they put a big part of it right into the water.

Perhaps not with a lock that long out in the weather. Picking rusted locks is tough, but the ramset might do some damage.

I also had a negative impression of the made in China vice-grips, and didn’t know about Malco restarting production of them in the US.

Agreed, just as personal watercaft have. (At least I think they all have.)

They’re not always good at those. My F250 SD 7.3 was all good, except for its aggressive biodegradability up here in the rust belt. (First sign was rust-perforated oil pan at 6y and 30K miles, requiring a $2K engine removal, then all 4 doors, cab corners, and bed floor were next to go. And clutch release lever,…

With politics so polarizing, he won’t be useful as a spokesman for any group that has an desire to appear nonpartisan (even if they aren’t). So perhaps like Trump, his attempt at grift will backfire.

The charts need a bit of Tufte discipline. The unnecessary 3d perspective makes the chart of makes almost unreadable.

ND. Too close to used-sprinter campers, like this one:
