Does it gently whisper “I’m worth it” every time you have to stop for gas?

I think this is an issue for them but at the same time how many usable ICE vehicles are being driven in the country as it is? EVs are increasing their new car market share but what is the total EV ownership rate compared to ALL vehicles, 1-2%? They will continue to have business for many years to come but they may…

What moron would give up selling every F-150 to hit the lot at good profit because you have to sell 10 Mach-E at cost (or even slightly below) every year. The transition is coming but if they are only looking at 10% in 6-7 years they have plenty of time to continue taking in truck profits then past that they have…

Hopefully you don’t consider yourself Murican if you can’t keep up with the current cancel culture.

Honda designed the first Ridgeline so that you could not lift the wipers from their normal resting spot. You had to start the car then use the wiper and turn the car off when they were fully extended. Having never encountered this before I thought it was somewhat dumb.

Lucas?!? Is that you?

Don’t forget the free can of bud every shift!

The original Baja with the murder seats? Or the Outback model from 10 years ago?

Well the 2.3 is used in the current ranger, doesn’t seem any important changes were made. As well the euro version has been out for a couple years now, I doubt they have tremendous differences. So by US model year 2025 they might meet your criteria :)

It’s likely the suppliers are under strict contracts to provide GM/Ford parts at pre-negotiated prices. If GM/Ford go to other that might violate the contract. As well the other suppliers that could make the parts are going to be well aware why they are being approached so you can bet they will want a premium to take…

Wouldn’t that mean you’d have to buy from the overpriced dealer to complain on their survey that they are overpriced? As well does anyone see your complaints about the 10 other “bad” dealers if you’re reviewing the “good” dealer you bought from and do they even care considering the manufacturer got a sale in the end?

They aren’t desperate enough…yet. I’d bet they try sign-on bonuses and pay increase before offering 10-15k moving expenses for a $50k job. Are they even making $50-60k at the top tier in these facilities? The surrounding areas aren’t Seattle or LA.

Idk some may consider a land cruiser at 84 months to be a sound investment.

As a consumer this makes me wish for a feedback mechanism that shoves it in a dealers face that they gave up a sale over $xxx. I’m sure they do this naturally when all the salesmen start complaining about not being able to eat because the manager won’t let them sell any car below $2500 markup.

A 17% chance to get any manual, correct? Never mind if you want any kind of option or color that would be a dealbreaker. As well chances of a dealer anywhere near you having one is reduced with only 175.

Yup. All I can say is that there were quite a few people saying they expected close to 30 mpg in city or highway before the Tundra hybrid was released only for it to be 24/24 I think. While cool at its given power level it was not transformative in the same way that many were hoping.

For something niche(ish) like a Bronco I think you do yourself a disservice by not going to a forum and finding a recommended dealer that has sold multiple broncos that members like. Alternatively opening up your search to any dealer within 200-300 miles may be warranted. Again I think a Bronco can be found near term…

C&D reporting indicates all the Trd sport/off-road/pro models get multi link as well as limited and trailhunter. Everything else is leaf spring. As well each trim with multi link seems to get a different shock.

You get the highest honor of all! Becoming a statistic!

Agreed. The Tundra is in the first or second most competitive US segment. The annual volumes and ATP on full size trucks basically make or break a manufacturer. So rather than compete head to head, unfortunately for Toyota Motor press will anyway, they decided to make the tundra appeal to a very targeted demo.
