In before Tesla worshippers try to explain that “pilots know that autopilot doesn’t mean that planes fly themselves.” It’s a stupid name from a company known to over promise and under perform.

I have a suggestion for the manufacturers: if the car can’t drive itself, stop implying that it can. The words “autopilot” and “self-driving car” are borderline false advertising, and they’re the reason people keep doing this. Stop making people think their cars are KITT. We’re getting there, but we’re not there yet.

An additional important piece of information: If you have a Kidde fire extinguisher, check to see if it has been recalled! The last thing that you want, in the scary event that you reach for your handy fire extinguisher, is to discover that it either doesn’t work, or it screws up and hurts you.

“...searching for a Class ABC extinguisher will yield one appropriate for dowsing your new Pixel 2.”

Could always use the FHWA classes, with the EPA modifications (of splitting class 2, because the EPA’s heavy duty line is 8500 lbs GVWR, instead of the FHWA’s 10,000 lbs).

Get the fuck over yourself. They were making E36s, C36s and C43s before your ‘REAL’ AMG models existed. Way to reinforce a shit stereotype.

So is a “real” AMG the inevitable “black” version? Also, haven’t they been watering down the AMG badge since the late 90s when they were sticking fancy wheels and skirts on clk’s and pre 2003 sl’s? To me, AMG has never been on par with BMW “m” monikers. You always needed to know what the “real” AMG was. They are just

I have to tell you, you haven’t owned a real AMG until you have owned a Mitsubishi Galant AMG.

Easier plumbing for single or sequential turbos when there is just one row of cylinders.

We get it. You own “real” AMGs.

In the age of turbocharging, inline engines will have several manufacturing advantages over Vees. This may be the way of things to come

These are 3.0 liter cars, twin turbo with 435 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, before you count a very mild hybrid system that can boost up another 21 hp and 184 lb-ft

That Suburban is based on a 2500 chassis, not a half ton chassis.

Um. What? 12k in a half ton is pathetic? 395 hp and 410 lb ft in an engine that goes forever is pathetic? Yeah. Ok.

The amount you want your field of view to be filled is more of an individual preference. Take a look at what you think would be the appropriate size for your space, then use this chart to determine the resolution you truly need.

Increased use of high-strength steel in North America Ranger frame. Also has to handle the 2.3-liter EcoBoost and 10-speed transmission. Basically shares the same hardpoints as T6 Global Ranger, and that’s about it.

Not a lot of detail. Nothing on power, fuel economy, towing capacity, payload or cost. As for packages:

Costs? Package options? What does the base model look like?

Tons of changes for North America customers: Unique frame, unique styling including frame-mounted front and rear steel bumpers, unique 2.3-liter EcoBoost and 10-speed, revamped interior, tons of driver assist features including BLIS with trailer tow, Terrain Management system like F-150 Raptor and Trail Control - and

Comparing it to the T6 Ranger we get, the only thing different about the exterior seems to be different plastic bits, such as on the bumpers, side “vents”, and wheels wells, as well as new tail lights (no amber), and a new hatch on the rear window glass.
