The real MPG, how it feels compared to an F-150 XL Fx4 that’s cheaper by a longshot, is that rear window manual or powered, how the ride quality compares to Chevy’s fancy magnets, if you’d rather have duratracs instead of hankooks, how the thing accelerates compared to the tacoma’s 3.5 w/ auto and the chevy’s v6. Can…

You must be on the Lake Wales Ridge but it tops out just over 300 feet:

Pete Buttigieg, who is less a presidential candidate and more a collection of rich liberals’ fantasies projected into a crisp white shirt...

College Engineering classes are surprisingly similar to this, particularly for freshmen. The test isn’t to make something that’s sleek and jaw-dropping, it’s about creating ridiculous devices with ridiculous limitations.

I was going to go with...

You get the 100th star!

I gave you the 69th star. Please close down the comment section.

There it is. 

Counterpoint:

Because it will fit in your garage, and equally equipped F150s are about $10k more expensive.  Why do people buy Tacomas?

The people that don’t need a full size pickup. 

For the first time ever in my life, based on seeing and reading reviews, I kinda want a truck- and this one specifically. I don’t prefer Crossvers but I like the appeal of a truck instead. I’ll not use it to go offorad or tow. Perhaps the occasional Home Depot trip, but they market the ranger as a lifestyle vehicle…

The game as a kid is to keep things from your parents and not get caught. The game as a parent is to stay one step ahead and, like when the British cracked the German Enigma codes, use that info strategically without giving away what you actually know. Good work. 

I taught my kids the importance of password and network security by breaking into all of their e-mail and social media accounts over dinner. Including the ones they thought they thought I didn’t know about.

I haven’t seen jet grouting performed in a number of years so maybe the slurry has a colored media now, but it normally does not. Jet grouting is a means of subsoil consolidation. High pressure water with a bentonite slurry is pumped underground and as it removes the soil with the slurry being heavier remains and…

Is David Tracy’s name on the title?

But diesel is more than premium gas where I live, which is over $1 more per gallon than normal grade gas. I would save considerable money buying the gas engine over the diesel, never mind the actual increased cost of getting the diesel option from the factory.

Look at all his majesty. Those peasants in their thatched roof cottages don’t stand a chance.

Maybe someday, people will stop comparing engine cyl counts.  I have a 6 in my truck and it is totally fine.  Better economy than that little 4 on the highway.  It is never in a hurry to get anywhere but who am I racing in my pickup?  That being said, I truly miss the rumble from my old bronco’s V8, but it wasn’t in a…
