    Ford F-150 Lightning EV Production Slows

    Immature technology, did you hear of Tesla charging over $20K all in to replace a battery in one of their cars that got damaged by rain? The much more organic approach is to slowly transition from pure gas, to hybrid, to plugin hybrid, and then finally EVs years down the line when its much...

    Better review of a trackpack version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4HpGW6yE4M Of course they say $30K in the title, but that's the ghetto version, by the time you load it up, its often closer to $40K.

    My order finally came in, and declined it. Very nice interior, even with the cloth which is a high quality look. Front seats are very comfortable, and everything is easily at hand with no sea of gloss black. Floating infotainment is very high resolution with a great 360 camera. Standard big...

    The new one unfortunately. There were a few that cautioned, including Consumer Reports for example based on last year's surveys put their predicted reliability at the lowest of any vehicle reviewed to date IIRC at 5 out of 100 confidence it would be reliable. "We expect the 2023 Pathfinder...

    I like that the Wilderness gets a front camera and black headliner. I was tempted! My sister is actually in the market for a mini-van that doesn't look like a minivan, so the Pathfinder was a contender. So far though, people are saying Pathfinder reliability is dirt, so got a pass on...

    Sorry by front windows, I meant the two on the sides in the front, just to match the tint that is on the back two windows. Even though the back is already tinted, might even have them put tint on the back glass just for privacy/security. Hard part is going to be finding a tint that has the...

    Its 5/22/23, and the damn thing finally has a VIN but hasn't left Italy yet... supposed to be a month before it shows up at dealership. Will drive it for sure, but not sure I'll trade in for it anymore. I initially ordered non-blacktop, but then added blacktop package later that day and...

    99% sure the warranty is the same across all of the Dodge lineup, 3yr/36K bumper to bumper and 5yr/60K powertrain, nothing special. One thing I do envy the Hyundai/Kia crowd with 5yr/60K bumper to bumper and 10yr/100K mile powertrain warranty.

    Haven't paid anything, but was told I'd be locked in once I have a build number which I still don't have, I'm going to call tomorrow. Some manufacturer's stock prices are recently down as they are expecting that consumer demand will fall with fears of a worsening recession. So if anything...

    Our Faithful Ram was Totalled by Reckless Uninsured Motorist

    Yeah, which I could understand some things aren't clear on external inspection, but some of the really obvious damage wasn't even on the quote, and nothing for example for the fact that the bed and cab were clearly no longer parallel and were bent up nor touched on the exhaust for example that...

    Our Faithful Ram was Totalled by Reckless Uninsured Motorist

    I hope you are fully recovered! We got an offer, but its certainly lower than anything you can find from the big no-haggle places like Carvana/Carmax/Vroom/etc. for something half as decent as we had. We'll see, they super low-balled the repair shop we chose when they said it was repairable...

    Only one you can order right now is the GT trim 265hp / 295ftlbs twin scroll direct injection Hurricane 4 2.0L (not multiport unfortunately) w/ AWD and a LSD and torque vectoring handling, that's what I ordered. It comes pretty loaded standard w/ LED everything and the big 10" radio and 12"...

    Our Faithful Ram was Totalled by Reckless Uninsured Motorist

    Might have tried but his vehicle and the vehicle he hit first were quite jacked up, and probably wouldn't have gotten far limping away in the heavy rushour traffic at the time! I heard Houston is notorious for hit and runs too, especially since we have so many people that run fake paper plates...

    Thanks! I was considering a Mazda CX30 or similar, but if we can go 'Murican (well Italian-American) that's a little bit roomier and quicker to boot, why not? Seems like compact crossovers are almost as hot as pickups right now. Supposedly the little Hornet can tow 2K lbs, but they don't...

    Our Faithful Ram was Totalled by Reckless Uninsured Motorist

    Thanks, we're looking for receipts and did some searching on carvana and those types of places for similar vehicles in advance. My guess is they will offer close to KBB, but if you go to Carmax and try to actually buy something at KBB value in this market they will point and laugh at you...

    Our Faithful Ram was Totalled by Reckless Uninsured Motorist

    Supposedly if you win in small claims and they don't pay in 30 days, if you have an address, which we do, you can send the sheriff to collect enough belongings to sell to come up to the $500 + court costs required. Would be worth it on principle, as I didn't do anything last time I was...

    No, straight on from the back, but the frame was apparently bent, not just the bed, so they write it off after that.

    Here's a video that shows off their GLH model, I do love the Dodge marketing guys that come up with their paint colors and names... Goes Like Hell, heh! Its based on the RT that will boast 383 lb-ft of torque. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEFigThWS90

    Our Faithful Ram was Totalled by Reckless Uninsured Motorist

    He got a ticket for failure to control speed, and that's it I think. Well, and his vehicle is dead. I was going to try to take him to small claims court for the $500 deductible when done. The police report has all his info on there and those that had insurance their companies agreed he was...

    Hornet is PH balanced for a woman but strong enough for a man. Well the only other hatchback style Dodge is the Durango, and that would be a lot more expensive to buy and operate I think. We had priced one out and a GT with blacktop and the new 10.1" uconnect was something like $45K MSRP...

    I've always been lucky with reliability, even on vehicles notorious for unreliability, so hopefully we can say the same again this round. Frequent oil changes, regular maintenance, and being pretty easy on the vehicles until they are up to temp I think helps. This is basically a discounted...
