I drove a F-150 King Ranch, about 2015-2016. The way they deal with bumps and curves is very unrefined. On a straight, flat road, they’re good, but that’s the case with nearly every car nowadays. The wind noise is also an issue with every pickup I’ve ever been in. They’re capable vehicles, but they’re not meant for…

By far the best luxury vehicles at what price? You’re either kidding yourself or unaware of the alternatives. Trucks are very unrefined, even if the interior is designed to be flashy.

My first thought was that it was an ad from the 90's, then realized the car doesn’t look that old, just the lighting used in the first picture.

The design looks like something from the early 2000's.

Everything about this looks like it could be from 2008. Interior, exterior, just seems a decade outdated.

Its amazing how they made a brand new SUV for stodgy old people, look stodgy and old.

This ends with Apple, Amazon, or Google buying the company with the loose change found in their couch. Tesla’s current market cap of ~$41B represents roughly 20% of the cash Apple has on hand.

A settlement can happen as quickly as both party agree to the terms.

Damn. Almost as ghastly as the new Silverado HD’s.

Love the Royal Mail’s idea of a postal carrier vehicle.

What “private company” are you talking about? If you’re referring to Amtrak, you need to recheck the definition of a quasi-public entity.

Why are we incapable of having self-sustaining individual transit in this country? Roads are MASSIVELY subsidized through general revenue taxes, and we complain about a little bit of funding for mass transit which reduces the need for more subsidies for roads?

Full trucking experience you say......

The Jalopnik hivemind at work.

This is good advice. You should never really listen to Tom, but in this case he accidentally is correct. It happens.

Yes, they could...IF enough people are willing to pay the higher price. That’s what I’m betting against. Let’s say USA Cars makes a Coupe de Crap that sells for $30,000. Euro Trash Vehicles makes a comparable car for $35,000. Both sell well, though the ETV is considered a better vehicle.

See, I disagree with that. Why? The Great Recession: people didn’t have jobs/money, so they held on to their cars, people didn’t buy new cars, and the price of used cars went up. Cars aren’t food or utilities. Unless a car is demolished or non-functioning, if someone is in a tight spot, they aren’t going to buy a new…

I wonder if he is aware of the European cars made in Spartanburg, SC, Vance, AL, and Chattanooga, TN?

Europeans don’t drive American cars because most are shit not because of tariffs. My German coworkers laugh at how poorly suited most American cars are for the autobahn and they are right. The only American cars I see with any regularity in Germany are corvettes and vipers. You could lower the tariff to zero and not…

Ford has an European division that does just fine, and FCA sells jeeps over there. What the fuck is he on about? If they want to sell cars in Europe they’d have to learn how to make small cars in the first place, but because everything is bigger in America, the only thing they know how to make proficiently are F-150s…
