When two of the three remaining “car people” leave and the “city people” are a majority of what’s left, the bias is more obvious.

This is the correct take. It’s essentially a small schoolbus with a poorly designed engine. It will in fact be useful for ranchers who take a horse trailer to horse shows, or something of the like. Which is why they so typically have huge miles. They also can be rebuilt over and over again. So get a nice 6.7L and…
This is not well written or well researched. Not even close.
“What the fuck is this?”
You would think a lack of ethics and a complete inability to read the room would make her a detriment, but jalopnik hired her back anyway. This sinking ship is really desperate for talent.
She was fired from NYT due to threatening people. She landed here.
Unfortunately everything in media seems to have devolved into “hot takes” that are unhinged from reality. I’m sure some sports show is talking about what else Steph Curry needs to do to get into the hall of fame, like it won’t happen already. Ban cars in cities....sure. I guess it worked because I clicked this article.
Yup. High mile 6.0 is a big nope for me at any price. I’ve spend enough years working on them to know I never want to touch another.
Is Jalopnik no longer a car website? Is this why David and Torch left?
Good god. Thats honestly not even remotely surprising. I wont get into political spectrums, but no matter what side youre on, when youre a journalist, a thing called “ethics” exists.
Ive heard alot of people say that, and ive resisted it... maybe due to the very good David Tracy articles... bit this... this is just next level...
On a CAR centric website?
What the fuck is this? Written by someone who has no concept of reality outside of NYC? On a CAR centric website?
In the car business, we refer to the 6.0 as the six point blow.
JUST had one in the shop. Ran like ass. Customer had it diagnosed at another shop, they said wiring harnesses. I asked my customer, are you SURE you don’t want me to take another peek? Nope, just install wiring harnesses.
After it was done, we found…
That’s fine, but it doesn’t change the fact that this is a shitbox from the worst era of American carmaking.
I was curious about this one since 30K seemed really high for a high miles Excursion. Looking at Kelly Blue Book which is usually pretty low on what it says your vehicle is worth, for a private seller, this is worth about 18K. Add about 5K onto that for pandemic pricing and you are still way off of 30K.
Ford and GM’s refusal to build new vehicles that compete in this space is what leads to prices like this.
And doesn’t have a POS 6.0 in it
No dice, this one is cheaper.
You gotta be fucking kidding me! I looked at the headline and the crazy price and straight to No Dice. I’ve owned Fords with diesels. Never again.
