Apparently a lot more than I thought they did! It seems they can be configured up to 1-tonne payload and towing of 2300 kg.

Well, considering you blokes already have "American" trucks that turn 'round corners nicely or haul insanely large things, I can completely understand your lack of enthusiasm for the F-150. ;-)

Well, you see, the super rich view the government as an organization that just tries to give their money away to poor people. So paying that 5k fine probably just chaps the heck out of their rears because they think it will go to helping a homeless person with no job instead of doing something "constructive" like…

2nd Gear: Good! While I hope all those crooks get an Eric Holder sized boot in their asses, too bad only 2 of them are going to jail (probably to get released in 2 month) and those fines just mean they'll have to charge even more for the next set of parts.

Yep. I'm not gonna lie, the F150 has become a pretty solid piece of hardware now, but it will always just be flies in my ointment that the Titan was overlooked for the crowning achievement it was. Nissan stole some of the best truck guys in Detroit to put it together - sad no one really noticed. And with a truck…

Yeah, it always rubbed me the wrong way that Tundras sold, despite being a fraction of what the Titan was: because Toyota. Good trucks finish last, I guess. The American truck makers (and American truck buyers) had better be thankful that Nissan gave them such a boot to the ass in 2004 - otherwise the 2015 F150…

All I can say is: Ford, you'd better watch out because pickup owners don't take too kindly to all sorts of innovations at once. I submit Evidence A:

Nicely done, Torch! I see you were paying attention in the "best Porsche" post the other day. Most antique/classic cars seem to draw their value from the people who originally used to own them (like had a '68 Mustang in college type). What's unique about this car is that even the generations that were born after…

I want something like the second one, but with a map. I'm interested in what Jalopnik readers want, not the general public because they just buy SUVs (or whatever people want to call them these days) anyway. I want to know how many states the brown diesel wagon will carry for the next election. ;-)

Yeah, I was mulling over that problem in my head this afternoon. But, there just isn't much energy to recover from regenerating with the rear tire alone - it has maybe 20% of the braking capacity, and severe brake bias towards the rear on ANY vehicle is going compromise stability, and especially a motorcycle - so…

Patrick, is there a way we can do a Jalop map of the USA? I'd like to see, by state, which car is most popular.

You're a pretty good guesser! Yep. So far, it's my most favorite turbo motor ever. Just past 2500 RPM, it lays down 425 ft*lbs of delicious torque - which is more than the V8 in my tow rig that hauls it to the track! The E92 may be porky and have tons of understeer, but the N54 and S65 engines they've put in them…

Ha ha! I got suckered in with my turbo car. I thought "well, it's only 3 liters if I keep the turbines spun down, so it won't use much fuel at all." What I didn't account for was just HOW addictive boost is. I think the instantaneous and mountainous torque on this bike will have the same effect.

I hate to be a buzzkill, but I just did the math. It takes about 10 kW of power to move a motorcycle and rider at a constant freeway speed on flat terrain. With the 20 kWh battery, this comes out to about 140-150 miles range (as they claim), but that's probably not how you're going to use this thing. Taking it into…

The existence of Buick in America has baffled me for some time. Chevrolet seems to handle the low-to-mid end well and Cadillac handles the high-end. I argue with my GM friends about Buick all the time. I'm convinced that current Buick owners just didn't want to go to another dealership from where they bought their…

Along that straightaway they have a put in a pretty serious wall. But the fact that it's directly on the property line isn't the best layout - but it was built 60 years ago before many of those houses were there. If the straight was on the Waterford Rd side (near the gun range), it would actually be better because…

While I love the idea, there's about zero chance of that flying. There's a company trying to build car condos in Pontiac and their original plan was to have a race track, but people don't want it (couldn't get it past the local zoning board) so it became a lame "test track" instead. In Waterford, people constantly…

I feel that strategic green space is vital to a city. For those areas that are nothing but trees and grass, it drives up the property value on anything bordering because people like to look out their windows at it. Kids do need a place to play and do something other than online gaming. Plus, it's relatively cheap…

Part of the stage 3 weight reduction kit maybe?? /Sarcasm

I'm with you. A few years ago I discovered that the Oakland County Sheriff has an armored personnel carrier (as it rolled up along side me at a stop light). It strikes me as such a waste of money for one of the richest counties in America. Yeah, those rich folk get real rowdy when you put a parking ticket on their…
