I wish someone would build a PHEV truck with around 20-30 miles available on a charge. I'm a little surprised Ford didn't take this route with the Powerboost option. I could make my daily commute and run around at lunch using battery power, then use the same vehicle for long trips with no...

The Hummer EV has a GVWR of 10,400 lbs, leaving the Edition 1 with less than 1,400 lbs of payload. The Hummer EV is a truck that weighs more than a 1 ton diesel dually and can barely haul more than a Tacoma. It makes little sense as a truck, and a lot more as a fashion/lifestyle statement. It...

Car and Driver posted an article listing some of the standard features included on each trim level. Just for fun, I configured a gas F150 XLT that included the features that C&D said were standard on the Lightning XLT. The build required the 301A package on a gas truck due to the standard...

For the sake of comparing prices to the competition, the Rivian R1T, which is an in-between size - larger than a mid-size but smaller than a full-size, starts at $67,500. A Tesla Cybertruck dual-motor AWD starts at $49,900 (subject to change since Tesla's delivery date and actual product...

I forgot that you're in Canada, which explains the pricing discrepancy. Here, a F150 XLT crew cab 4x4 with the base 300A package starts at $43,805 + destination with the 3.3 V6. With the 2.7 TT V6, the base price is $45,000, with the 5.0 V8 it starts at $45,800, and with the 3.5 TT V6 it's...

According to Ford, the base model starts at $39,974, the XLT starts at $52,974, and the Platinum maxes out at around $90,474. https://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/f150-lightning/2022/?intcmp=hp-rvv-reveal-f-150%20lightning#reservations Also, these prices are before the $7500 federal tax credit.

I think Ford really nailed an electric truck for the heart of the market - it looks like the best selling truck in the USA instead of a science experiment (Cyber Truck) or status symbol/personal statement (Hummer EV), the entry-level and mid-level pricing (XLT @ low 50's) is consistent with...

I've looked at those Eibach coilovers for my F150. I personally rank them ahead of the Fox 2.0, because the Eibach coilover is actually designed to be adjusted while installed on the vehicle, unlike the Fox 2.0, and the Eibach coilovers cost less than the Fox 2.0. While it may be possible to...

You can get Bilstein 6112s for the front of the 2014-2018 Silverados. They include new springs and would be a good match to the recommended 5160 rears. They're also a good compromise between 5100 front shocks and the pricier options like Fox 2.0 or 2.5, or Icons. The 6112 is adjustable for up...

I wouldn't exactly say GM is "missing it." :LOL: They just don't seem to care, unless they're filling the void with a pricey electric Hummer. CUVs sell, and that's about all that GM cares about. I was excited when they first announced that they'd offer the AT4 trim on the Acadia and...

I don't know if Ford changed the paint code and kept the name, but they offered Guard on the Explorer a few years ago, and I really like the color. In the image above, Guard almost looks like Magnetic gray. I still like the color, and green vehicles in general, because they're relatively...

We have 2 kids, ages 11 & 6, and have been very happy with our LLBean Adventure Dome 6. It has a 10'x10' floor and 81" peak height, weighs less than 20 lbs, uses aluminum poles, and the fly fully covers the sides and has prominent peaks over the door and rear window. I always fully stake it...

Good looking truck! I don't think you'll be disappointed. I like the color; it pairs well with the flares, bumpers, and sliders.

The best thing a casual explorer can do before they decide to head out for the day (or weekend, however long...) is to let a couple of reliable people know: A) that they're leaving B) where they're going C) when they will return D) when they will check-in E) who to contact if they don't check-in...

How about spacers to push it out off of the side wall of the trailer just enough for the hinge/lid to clear the fender when it's open? The fender would still support some of the weight, and the lid would serve as a shelf when it's open.

From what I've seen, renting is expensive, unless you only venture away from cell service maybe once a year for a few days. Anyone that doesn't venture out away from reliable cell service regularly can opt to turn their InReach service on and off as needed - I believe that basic plan starts at...

If your trip that is planned doesn't have any serious off roading, but it just typical forest service roads (at worst), I'd seriously look at renting a trailer for this trip instead of rushing to buy something before the trip. If you're lucky, you may even be able to find the types of trailers...

Not at all, in this instance. Considering that their car was located before they were, and that she was still alive, it's safe to say with nearly 100% confidence that they would both be alive now if they'd stayed with the car.

If you're willing to order, you can get a nicely equipped F250 XLT Tremor with the 7.3, dual batteries, 397 amp alternator, and auxiliary switches that stickers under $55,000. If you've been frustrated by the short bed in the past, this is not an option, since the Tremor is only available with...

The F350 has the better specs, but are you ready to make the leap from an F150 to a crew cab long bed Super Duty - that's a lot of truck for a daily driver. Do you intend to add accessories that will take advantage of the aux switches on the F350? You can negotiate the addition of the OE...
