No! They all yell at you but don’t stop you. Only thing they will do is brake the car if zero driver input is detected, ie you passed out or are way into the porn on your phone to notice. Ford has gone a step farther. Most current version tracks your eye movement. If your eyes are obviously way...

Its hard to make the jump to nearly 80 inches wide the idea of full size is a big step. I did it in 2019. Honestly unless you do narrow brushy trails the mid sized unless its full on desert racer trim is only an advantage with its 75ish width. Length they are nearly identical. Power and mileage...

I would bet a large number of big ticket toys for the past 4 years were being financed by real estate value increases and stock gains. Here is why. Last 4 years both Real estate and stock market has felt very over heated pushing people to dump money into stuff with little to no return potential...

Its a weird dynamic right now the dealers all are flush with cash after 2 years of $10,000-$15,000 markup profits. They are sitting on inventory trying to wait out the lack of buyers. However!! Lending companies who finance lot inventory are starting to require deposits on inventory financing...

You obviously haven’t priced any used truck recently. Plus resale value on a vehicle is the same rabbit hole as what do you want your monthly payment to be. You never buy a depreciating asset vehicle based on perceived future value. These aren’t collector vehicles there basic little pickup...

Just a side note after nearly 300,000 miles in two Subarus from 2000-2019. If I were shopping small utility/ efficient yet off road ability vehicles the Bronco Sport and Maverick both have Subaru beat 10 ways to Sunday on ability, quality and functional space. The Bronco even has a lifting rear...

Builders like Escape in BC have seen their orders over a year out shrink to 2-3 months in just the last 4 weeks. I would bet the higher priced stuff has seen an even bigger crash in their orders. Course none of them will tell you that. I call BS on your justification. 12months ago yes. Today nope…

Fan boy… All the new midsized stuff is good. Tacoma is just a dog running a Camry motor ??

Nothing is selling right now. Dealers are still feeling flush after two years of massive markups and wait listed buyers so they aren’t discounting trying to wait out the lack of buyers. But lenders financing the inventory are starting to require deposits equal to a month or two of inventory...

The new Colorado AT4 looks damn good!! Most modern of the mid sized

I suspect thats a highly variable figure based on battery technology being used and urban traffic vs rural etc. In the end its a percentages game. If 98% of your profit is derived from urban vehicle sales and 99% of vehicle emissions is in urban traffic those percentages are quite a bit...

You see the Anti Shanty price? I can buy a competitive racing sailboat and do the SF to Oahu PacCup for less than that… Sorry but this “adventure trailer” thing just hit stupid recently on prices.

Yeah it’s called epro or Geo Pro 19FBTH. Pretty much where I have landed to address my family’s bike and sailing stuff. If it were just me solo? F150 hybrid power boost. Basic shell with pop up roof folding hard sides. Bike gets fork mounted on a 3 inch wide slide, to one side. Basics in...

These drone pods will replace wheeled ATVs regarding going out to the dunes to ride. Outside of that they’ll be local UBER type transportation across town. Flight time will be short. They’ll also double as unmanned delivery drones. Overlanding involves distances these rigs won’t be flying for...

No doubt First step is to stop the Chinese resources grab. China has zero ethics regarding mining especially in other countries. The battery technology is changing fast the biggest driver is material cost and availability then capacity. There are already modern mining systems being tested that...

Reliability? Hell even 750,000 mile Hybrid Taxi vehicles are running original hybrid gear on 2nd or third ICE engines. Thats already proven to be a non issue. If anything its shown the hybrid can easily have a longer run than a ICE vehicle simply given its efficient and runs a lower per mile...

Are long distance Pickup truck buyers a market factor? Nope… They’ll get whatever vehicle fits closest to their needs which will be determined by the urban contractor work truck guys.

You can’t have it all but very few people travel ling distance via car today. All my contractor buddies every one of them agrees they would see a large reduction in fuel use if their F250 was hybrid. The time they sit in traffic and idling at job sites is considerable work trucks didn’t get hour...

Mechanical Parasitic drag definitely has been reduced in modern vehicles. I recall even back in 2010 Subaru was able to reduce parasitic drag in their tiny 2.0L by a considerable amount in the ground up redesign of that motor. A big factor has been metal treatment for both high heat resistance...

The Boeas is too small for families unless you have a truck and add a popup shell that also houses gear. The Chinese campers are seeing a price crash if they hit $30,000 they will be interesting. But at 50+ they are just Chinese knock off trash. But the bare minimum family of 4 camper ar the...
