Ford can't stop dealerships from gouging on the Maverick. I get special pricing on the rare Mustang models. When they can screw up with a $20k truck what hope do they have to ever get it right? 

Infrastructure installation is expensive most places. The cost for New York to bore new duct structure to place fiber must be astronomical. Once it's placed then the last mile build has to take place. Internet is not cheap. 

I see it differently. Ford is the least transparent with their tow ratings. Many commenters on this thread have never heard of Ford derate with altitude. This being an automotive centric area of the web does not represent the general public. If many on Jalopnik are just hearing about this now it seems doubtful the

No idea why Ford seems to be the only OEM to derate with altitude. I recall TFL did ask other manufacturers about altitude and towing. The ones that responded said the tow rating is the rating. Reading between the lines Ford seems to not have enough cooling capacity to keep up. The derate scheme is an easy way to have

Living near the Port and complain about the Port. Makes no sense. Port of Entry locations are massive economic generators. Diesel emissions continue to get cleaner. Electric trucks are in the near future. Now residents would prefer well paying jobs go elsewhere. 

Now playing

Just did a search. I recall them mentioning the Ford altitude towing reduction at least three times. They might have also asked spokespeople of the other OEM’s?

It's from TFL I learned this. They have mentioned it two or three times that I've seen. They probably don't bring it up every time to stay In Fords good grace. It's within the last year TFL covered it. Might have had a problem with the Hybrid Ford one of them own? 

I know a clean 91' for sale locally at 8k. However, I thought the 90' and 91's had possible engine problems from a manufacturer defect. The  Craigslist ad with low mileage means the problem could still show itself?

The deaths and shutdown of Abbot are Abbot’s fault. I blame Biden Administration for ignoring the Whistle-blower in October. Allowing faulty production to continue. After the February shutdown the FDA failed to alert Usda. USDA distributes about 50% of US baby food. Biden Administration waited until last week to enact

My 1960 Chevy straight 6 truck also had a very easy to service heater core. 

Ford still somewhat does the same thing today with their trucks. The max tow rating only applies at sea level. Ford derates their trucks with elevation. Higher one goes the lower the tow ratings. Chevy, Ram and Toyota do not derate according to elevation. 

Toyota does things different. They are sold to regional distributors. Which then pass them out to local dealers. The Regionals have alot of say of what arrives. California and Texas typically have only the most popular options. Easier for customers to go out of state for their specific optioned vehicles. I've read

Biden Administration ignored whistle-blower complaint about Abbott in October 2021. FDA finally closed the plant in February. Appears the FDA did not alert Usda. Usda distributes 50% of baby formula. This current crisis has been completely mismanaged by the Biden Administration. 

Does Detroit misspend their road budgets? Wondering how something so obvious was missed before and after the fall? 

With a looming recession many of the available jobs will likely go away. Might be nice to have nearly guaranteed income now and thru the recession versus taking a stand now and finding no work later. 

If a recession is coming expect more layoffs at Netflix and others. Gas in the tank to goto work or Netflix/Hulu/Disney+. Netflix and others are a luxury. 

Give people the option of showing upto work or find work elsewhere. 

Last October I bought a new vehicle. Many dealers wanted over Msrp. I paid Msrp. Found a dealer some distance away that would allow special order and below Msrp. Shop around. 

If Crypto self destructs we might have a chance of powering future electric cars.

Not saying it's easy. Starting with elimination of one bad thing is a good start. Have a friend that works for a heart specialist. Common problems among older people 65+ are now showing up around age 40. Without proof their best guess is diet.  Younger people in need of a heart specialist usually have bad diets.
