Not sure who pissed in you’re cheerios but try again. I didn’t say they couldn’t go off road at all. I said they wouldn’t do any better than a Mustang or camaro. And they won’t. Neither has the ground clearence to be an off road vehicle. I can find a Pic of the Mustang sitting on dirt if ya want.

Like I said above, I’ve never made any claims about how affordable something is, the average car price has increased rather significantly in the last few years likely as a result of a lot of factors and more people seem to be opting for more expensive vehicles. From what I can tell, this is largely more than anything…

Nor can those two you listed. At least to any degree more than than the mustang or camaro.

Ever since they were introduced in the half tons, the price has been relatively constant maybe even a little cheaper once inflation is taken into account. Back in 04 the invoice price on one of these was in the neighborhood of 28-30k which is right around 40k today. However, after incentives today, that config can be…

Hardly. Most of the cars the automakers have killed off weren’t exactly world leading anyway. Were you going to buy a Ford Focus or Chevy Impala? How bout the Dart FCA killed a little while back with its platform mate the 200? These weren’t enthusiast vehicles to begin with and imo didn’t even have an enthusiast trim…

With trucks it’s hard to justify buying used. When my dad got his 2018, lightly used (sub 20k miles) 2015 and up f150s were going for 30k and up. A new 2018 came out to 34k total.

Relative to inflation, a new crew cab 4x4 is actually cheaper than it used to be.

No. This isn’t actually the case. If you actually look at prices over time relative to inflation, new trucks are actually cheaper than they were 20 years ago when crew cab short beds first started becoming a thing. Now you do have a lot of newer luxury trims that didn’t used to exist but there are still a lot of cheap…

I grew up in the back of my dad's truck. As did he with his dad's truck (though it was a little closer to the floorboards since all 4 kids had to fit in a single cab to make it to church when he was growing up. Pickups are pretty much a core part of Central America and have been for generations now. They aren't going…

Dontyou be dissing my cloths seats and carpet less floors now. It’s some of the best parts of my 2014 truck.

and even after that. Pickups have always sold well in America.

Why do good truck sales mean anyone is doomed? It's an excellent choice of vehicle for a lot of people. Very practical for just about every scenario, excellent resale value, wide range of availible price points, and the fuel economy is a lot better than it used to be. Plus, to top it off, most people don't have any…

To my knowledge the upper trims of the f150 do nothing different with the suspension (excluding the raptor) so the ride should be identical. However, the are much larger on the inside than any midsize. This is why I prefer them. I’m 6ft 6. I’d rather have as much leg room and headroom as possible. Especially if I’m a…

thats why it looks ugly. Combined with its unibody I guess it’s fine for a lot of stuff but I wouldn’t want one. When I can get a half ton for not much more money it’s a no brainer to get the vehicle that hauls more, tows more, is better off road, and more comfortable.

The dimensions haven't actually changed much. The width has remained constant at 79 in due to regulations on vehicles over 80 in. The height has changed a little. Roughly 4 in from the 70s and 1 in taller than the 50s. The length is the only thing that has increased significantly.

You realize the roof is only 4 in taller than it was in the 70s and 1 in taller than it was in the 50s right? The width has also remained constant.

They’ve got a good ways to go before the surpass Ford. And with Fords redesign (with a much better interior) coming out for the 21 year model, I don't see it happening.

the Ridgeline is my least favorite out there. It’s boring and ugly. Looks like an oversized Honda someone tacked a bed onto.

Probably because nobody buys single cabs anymore. Crew cabs are much more useful these days.

I don't mind any of them. The chevy is a little over styled but thats the trend of the auto world these days. The Ford and ram half tons are honestly softer than they were in previous years.
