^^^ This this this. Our roads are fun but they’re horribly maintained. Between most of the state being extremely rural and the constant flux between blistering cold and too hot (it was 0°F less than a week ago, and then over 70° the next day) expanding and contracting the roads repeatedly, then water gets in, freezes…

Its pretty close in size to the ‘98-’06 Extended Cab Ranger: just a couple inches shorter, wider, and taller.  I’m trying to talk my dad in to getting one and he wanted to confirm it will still fit in the garage like his Ranger does.

Its a revolutionized ranger/sport trac. Like how rangers/s10 and small Tacoma dominated small jobs around the city like parking police, pest control, etc. That’s what the maverick is carrying on. If they made bed bigger bed it could be used in more farmer situations.

I will keep beating the drum that a small cheap hybrid van would be great to have on the market (which is perfect, because Ford’s small cheap van is coming due for replacement). That said, there’s room in the Maverick for electrification, most likely (either PHEV borrowing Escape stuff, or full EV, like a…

Damn a Golf R fighter for people who don’t mind having a car that makes them look like someone who will stand in line for a Fast & Furious movie.

Time to beat the dead horse -- You don’t need AWD, you need winter tires.  If the snow is too much of an issue in terms of depth for your current car, you need something taller -- But is that really the case?

If your first reaction is “Grow up” then you are missing the point. Here is an opportunity for you to step in and reassure the folks who frequent this site that while you are losing two unique voices, you have many more that are committed to continue on the tradition of what made Jalopnik great: unique and irreverent…

I think with their average speed aerodynamics doesn’t really factor that much

Not defending the choice of these turds in any way but consider that these trucks are basically doing stop and go every 60-80 ft in an urban neighborhood and I can completely understand how the mileage is going to be complete crap. I expect that if you did this drive cycle in a Honda Fit you would get crap mileage as…

Just remind her that she has the EPA to thank for the electric VW push. They didn’t decide on their own to push EV production hard, it was a stipulation of their EPA Consent Order.

Hear you on the Sienna - I had a 2012 AWD for while, and I usually ran it with one or both of the middle seat removed. Without middle seat and rear bench folded down, it has a nice flat-ish 8x4 cargo floor. As a one-vehicle-to-rule-them-all (go skiing with the kids and their friends, shuttle mountain bikes, go…

Ive been driving my hold  over car for the last 14 years. 2005 525i which had 40k  on it and now has 195k.   Still runs and looks nice but it needs a little tlc which I think I'm going to go ahead and do.  I also picked up a 23000 mile R1200R for 4800 that I use more than the car these days.

I said it before when they first announced the whole e-muscle thing:

When you realize that Dodge is fully committed to the conversion of the ICE performance model into an electrified doppelganger of itself, then this all makes sense.  As to the vulgarity?  I’m definitely a fan.  So sue me.

I don’t really know how else to explain the broad and persistent demand for expensive trucks and SUVs

Toyota Hilux 

And other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

I’m 100% on board with this. Pretty much everyone of the police spec version of cars led a hard life of 400,000+ miles.

Probably the most reliable car aside from any Toyota with a 22RE under the hood.

I had a 1992 crown vic in HS as my first car in 2000. It was originally the fire chiefs car of a small town near me. It was the best! My father left a rag in the intake one time when he was doing maintenance and started it and drove home... rag went through the engine...retrieved the rag from the oil pan, ran fine for…

I honestly cannot believe that Panthers haven’t been brought up. Doesn’t really matter the model either. I have had like five different ones in different flavors and years. Was my 1988 Town Car as reliable as my 2007? No, it was 30 years old when I bought it. Was it still reliable enough to take a cross country trip…
