So you are saying that motorcyclists arrive at work dripping sweat?

Thank you for backing up my point.

My Colorado was a ZR1 - so it sat higher and had off road tires - but was not an off road truck.

I had a 2007 Colorado with the i5 and that was an incredible motor - tons of power for what it was and very smooth. I traded it in on the Silverado because I wanted a full size truck with 4x4 (Colorado was 2wd) and the Colorado had a weird electrical thing with the security system.

I would say I am Biased as well since I own a 2007 Silverado with 203k miles on it and a 2012 Suburban with 169k miles on it. There are always going to be pro’s and con’s between the 2 brands. As a teen I would get into pointless Arguments with my friends about ford vs GM but grew out of that to learn and know they…

My rich uncle had a Typhoon back when they were new.

Some communities are doing more to improve cycling infrastructure. Carlsbad, CA called a state of emergency last year after some people both young and older were either severely injured or died in collisions with automobiles.

with an e-Bike you can run full boost during the summer and not have to pedal at all. The only sweat would be from sitting out doors in a 20mph breeze as you scoot along.

The F150 is great - but I think it stands side by side with the Full Size trucks from GM - most sales per year is a technicality as the Chevy/GMC Twins have out sold ford for most of their life span.

The First Gen FX45 is still one of the best looking SUV’s on the road - timeless lines and Design.

Yeah something like that for sure.

This is a good start - hopefully more manufactures follow suit - but I have a sneaky feeling someone is going to still find a way to flip one of these cars.

Oceanside, CA - Thursday September 28th, 2023:

Are these the same dealers marking up limited edition models tens of thousands of dollars for pure Profit gains?

If I could town my 28foot travel trailer and hold a dirt bike and quad in the bed while doing that - and go up and over mountain passes between the San Diego Beaches and the inland Deserts.... This would tick all my boxes.

“Risky Driving Behavior”

I would love to have an EV - but the cost of electricity and the up front cost to buy one means it is not economical for me.

Your example is the perfect one that covers the conundrum most buyers are facing. The “fuel” savings does not cover the spread in up front cost.

The TCO of the EV is not lower for the average buyer who only keeps a car 3-4 years.

You are right, some people do not care about the TCO - but there are plenty who do. The higher up front cost of an EV and even some Hybrids compared to the up front cost of an equivalent ICE vehicle is still very high. In some cases it will take more than 100,000 miles of driving an ICE vehicle before the cost of gas…
