Having had both a Ram with coils and an F150 with leafs, the Ram rode much nicer but the payload was absolute garbage compared to the Ford. It would squat with anything in the bed at all.

I would prefer this over a shitty airplane lap desk that will break because its made out of cheap plastic.
Exactly. People remember the 3/4 ton trucks, lifted, with lots of chrome in the grocery store parking lot. They ignore the dirty, scratched to shit one with a bed full of fuel drums or lumber. Those fade into the background noise of everyday life.
Why don’t you go start that company and tell me how it goes.
Why all the negativity? This is exactly the type of stuff that enthusiasts crave.
Recessions don’t cause gas prices to go up. In 2008, high gas prices helped cause the recession, then proceeded to tank.
Except it wasn’t a noose. It was a fucking looped rope to put your hand in to pull the garage door down. Holy fuck
No mention of NASCAR and Noosegate? After it came yesterday it was all a hoax, a disgusting publicity stunt to use racial tensions to increase ratings? After all the stories here pushing it just days ago? I think this illustrates the real purpose of identity politics fairly well. Its not about racism, never was. Its…
Bully for you. You do know you just named two non-US brands?
Bradley, you and other writers here have made the same case. Pedestrian deaths are up (they are, at a 30 year high). SUV and Pickup sales are up (they are). SUV’s and Pickups will do more damage to the human body when an impact occurs (it will). Ergo, SUV’s and Pickups are causing the increase in pedestrian deaths.
And who in the world is buying them in the first place? By the time I get it specced the way we want, we’re close to $45k. I can think of a LOT of cars at that price range I’d rather have.
Actually, the best protection for pedestrians is for the stupid fucks to learn they aren’t invincible. The NTSB says that almost all vehicle/pedestrian collisions involve sedans, occur at night or conditions of poor visibility, and involve the pedestrian crossing at a point where they are not expected to in an urban…
Well, first they have to start making sedans that allow people of more than average size to st in them comfortably.
And Bradley, why didn’t you bother to include the actual death and injury figures which show that the dead and injured are colliding with sedans? And oddly, they are doing it by stepping in front of the vehicles?
Then it was a dumb study. A larger heavier vehicle carries more kinetic energy. Real shocker there. Reread the quoted text that I was replying to in my original post. The author is implying that the reason for the increased number of pedestrian deaths is larger vehicles. I’m pointing out that there are other factors…
You must have misunderstood my comment. I wasn’t arguing that SUVs and cars do equal damage to pedestrians. I’m saying that a rise in pedestrian deaths is better explained by distracted drivers and pedestrians rather than a modest increase in average bumper height. Distractions which were caused by a particular device…
Obviously this is an outrageously small sample size that could probably have been researched over the course of an afternoon over a cup of coffee. But what it does do is confirm that these rolling behemoths some of you call daily drivers can literally be more lethan [sic] weapons than other cars.
How about distractions in general? Touchscreens in cars are not good. You HAVE to take your eyes off the road to use them. BUTTONS ARE YOUR FRIENDS AUTOMAKERS! Buttons save lives!
Over the 9 years from 2009 to 2018 pedestrian deaths in America ballooned 53 percent. In the course of that same timeframe, SUVs grew from 21 percent to 29 percent of the national passenger vehicle fleet.
