You can get the XLT Luxury to get power driver seat. Wish you could add the power rear window and the acoustic windshield to that one, but those are locked to the Lariat.

The most I might tow is a small raft trailer, well under 2000 lbs (probably around 800-1000), and I have long said that I wouldn’t mind a FWD pickup. I think I am more of the target demographic for this vehicle than the people who are looking at higher towing and 4x4 (which isn’t even an option in this—AWD is the…

The conflict is the wheels and tires, I think. The First Edition should have an options package for the FX4, imo. 

I got excited and gathered quotes from local dealers. All of them want MSRP plus doc fees and things like a key replacement program I will never use. Was hoping at least one of them would try to come in just a little under.

I was pleasantly surprised at the base color options. I assumed practically every color would cost extra, but only the dark blue, orange, and red(s) being extra was nice.

I was hoping for a 2-door, but I put in a reservation. It’s more affordable than getting a larger pickup, can meet most of my needs, and the underseat storage in the second row helps make it worthwhile.

Nice Price. Even if you decide you can’t get it going again, you can find a used car lot doing one of those “push, pull or drag” events that gives you like 2k trade value for any used car and get a different cheap car to build into your new Gambler 500 ride.

And the really funny part is that PHEVs are out there. This should not be hard to understand. I think that Toyota’s “Prime” language might be more appealing to some, and PHEV or E-Hybrid are both clearer, but the use of “e” designation isn’t even unique to Jeep. Audi and BMW both use it, and Ford uses “Energi.”…

On the blue trim issue, I think it is a little silly, but I really don’t mind it in my Niro. I do have a feeling it will be a temporary fad. Hopefully because pretty much everything will be electrified soon enough.

We were burning coal well before that. And wood. We only later got our grubby paws on oil , but we have indeed burned whatever seemed most efficient to access/burn for a very long time.

I clicked through to the actual ad. The seller lists condition as “like new” while the ad copy includes “This one deserves a repaint to bring it back to it’s Old Glory Days.”

I think the graphic was meant to set up the comparisons later on. But, yeah, kind of an odd choice and the discrepancy between his estimate and the graphic sort of undermines confidence in the comparisons later.

I think he means from his real-world use. “It was a similar kind of journey as I took in a Kia Seltos a few months back.”

They released the “beta” for city streets, which has led to a number of videos of Teslas reacting to regular city occurrences very differently than humans.

I’m in Idaho, which is both conservative and spread out. There is a large demand for e-bikes in the Boise area, but it does extend beyond there. A lot of people can use an e-bike for a commute, small errands, or just going to visit people. Sure, there are people who live far enough from their neighbors, workplaces,…

I had a 2008 Focus, and it did not. It also went through bulbs more than other car I have owned. Glad they added that, since it would have been very helpful to know when one was out without checking.

But, unlike PCs, it is likely that this purpose-built software will not have the issues described, as most of those are caused by interconnected software built at different times for different uses to be compatible with different software suites.

The mental health check on the 4473 isn’t even being institutionalized. It is being “adjudicated mentally defective,” which is to say this is another court check, rather than mental health.

What’s funny is that people do just put houses up for sale or shop without a realtor. They are not protected in the same legal ways, yet continue to exist (though they do some shady stuff with putting listings behind walls or getting listings sold before they hit the market).
