because who would want a giant gas guzzler in a time of skyrocketing gas prices.

The comparisons to a regular cab F150 are irrelevant though, because the Ranger doesn’t come in that configuration.

Shilling praising the SL earlier today was quite the surprise. 

I didn’t even get into the whole “we want less touchscreens/features/gizmos” attitude but certainly could have gone that way too.

A tale as old as time:

It will of course be replaced by the Maverick Mach-E, a $70,000 electric crossover that has “Maverick DNA”.

Another perspective with photos:

Meanwhile, poor Lincoln has sold just 19,148.

You’ll have a hard time convincing me that this isn’t close to the perfect car.

Even this is a matter of a few inches at most. 2wd trucks used to be a lot more common, which influences the memories of the good old “I could reach into the bed when I was 10 years old” days for many.

They don’t farm out the manufacture of their engines

the current mid-size range (which is what 1/2 tons were 20 years ago)

-10,000 miles or annually is totally fine for most cars with full synthetic oil AND a good filter. Don’t spend $4 on a garbage filter and expect it to last 10,000 miles.

This is the way.

No, but I’m willing to bet that I can outperform a typical 8 year loan rate by investing the extra each month over that 8 year period.

Again, my issue is only with the blanket statement. Loans are a tool, and like any tool they can be used well, or misused by someone who isn’t properly trained.

I saw that number thrown out without context, and if that is the best someone can get, I can’t in good conscience recommend an 84 month loan for them. Most can do better.

Lol.

Everyone has their own risk tolerances, but I’d say a 36-48 month loan 30 years ago was riskier than an 84 month loan is now, simply based on how reliable even the cheapest new cars are now and how long they tend to be kept.

Our society and economy would benefit in a huge way if our education system prioritized basic finance, accounting, and budgeting over classical literature and brute memorization in preparation for standardized testing.
