I have wondered if Jeep/Dodge has more say in dealer pricing via their dealer contracts than the old legacy companies like Ford that likely have loop holes in their old dealer contracts that Ford has limited influence

Taxa was offering direct manufacturers discounts to buyers before Christmas 2022. Which they haven’t done in the yrs I started eyeing their stuff. It’s likely two part. Doing direct rebates to buyers is an attempt to correct the dealer pricing issues and reduce inventory sitting on lots. The...

Its a numbers game sell 15 100k trailers a yr at $50,000 profit. Or sell 8000 trailers a yr at $25,000 profit. High end builders only survive when they have deep pockets filling the gaps to keep the office open. The smart builders have other business they roll into thats less affected by...

Games be played with all consumer sales right now. When isolated to Units sold you can’t hide behind high prices and lower unit sales

My Boomers are on the down hill run. One is living at my house now. The others are fully downsized and definitely not doing RVs.

A F250 need’s weight in it or you’ll beat everything up. A Tacoma can be empty and be fine given it has city slicker soft suspension for 400Lbs of stuff.

12v Heated blanket and a portable battery power box. Your not standing under the cap heating the air is kinda pointless. But heated blanket is gold?

I have a August 2019 3.5 Platinum Expedition Heavy tow pack. 3.73 rear end basically the mid / heavy ish tow configuration F150 running gear. They definitely quietly did updates on the 3.5 even mid yr. My buddy has a March 2019 and has the plastic oil pan. Mine has a cast aluminum oil pan, I...

The big bonus being lighter truck its pretty crazy how different the 1/2 tons are vs the 3/4 regarding weight and sinking where the 1/2 tons get through easily. It does sound like a 8ft bed 2.7 especially with the 35gal fuel tank would be a really great combo for your likes. Great range, good...

Trucks especially heavy payload trucks need to be heavy or they just beat the living heck out everything in them and on them including themselves. The minivan comment is rock solid given they are over built but run compliant suspension. So definitely something to that observation.

Lots of COVID buyers also bought with the mind set that the values were going up or very stable. IE cheap rental for a year financed at near zero % and GOV checks in the mail to cover the 15yr 1% loan payment. The BIG issue is that inventory financing is still cheap and dealers we’re making 3X...

Who do think pays car wash attendants? Its the Tesla techie ?‍♂️

My money is on wiring issue between the Renogy and the batteries. Fuse it on both sides input and output for sure that will keep the smoke in your next inverter/ charger. Make sure there are no grounds that are creating a short loop.

I have watched him also. He’s definitely a sales guy and a bit full of crap about 1/2 the time.

My brothers bankruptcy and debt recovery stuff at his law firm is ramping up still. It’s taking a long time for people to burn through their GOV handouts and reverse mortgage/ credit line loans. But those are drying up and that side of the business is seeing a month by month increase. He’s...

You missed my last post The hybrid and the full EV are for different users. Nissan learned the hard way that the average 30 ish mile daily use needs more battery than 60 mile range. No different than Toyota realizing a 12 gallon fuel tank in a Tacoma won’t work. The EVs that work really...

You need to think bigger. Vehicles will become more specialized persay. If you want a long distance tow rig the options will likely be very similar to the current hybrid F150 only in different load rated rigs 1/2 ton 3/4, 1 ton etc. If you need a truck but don’t need to drag a trailer long...

A dryer circuit in my state has been a 50amp by code since the 60’s. My EVs do about 30miles an hour charge on that.

LoL shhhh his 220 dryer plug isn’t advertised as a EV charger. So the Electrician is trying to sell him a new $6000 dryer plug ??

Cracked metal fitting on an air hose. System was 2 months old. Had to drive it vs fix because we couldn’t find the right fitting to swap in. Same trip we experienced the well known GM fuel pump failure just as we were dropping into Elko NV. Hey truck is pretty quiet? Yup.. 15 seconds later oh...
