I just cut up a dead cherry tree today with my 40v With a new chain. Wood was rock hard. Was like cutting concrete. I burned through a whole 6ah battery in 15 minutes on a 18ft tree. I keep seeing people say the 19-20v stuff is ok. Might be fine for small shrubs around the house. But hell no for...

I would be really happy if I could get a basic Bronco sport with 20-30mile EV range / hybrid add all the driver assist stuff so when my 12yr old starts driving I can put her in it knowing it won’t let her hit stuff?

I bought my mom a T3 and several friends have various models covering a wide range of years. They all have wonky stuff you don’t typically see in the traditional auto makers. Not talking body panel gaps. Talking inconsistent parts quality with inconsistent flaws. Example my moms T3 which has...

Two in our tiny town. Based on those the quality fit finish seems better than Tesla which is meh

Yep 17-18mpg in town for my 3.5 fuelly no doubt is a combined mpg data point. Not to mention most who are heavy users also are heavy drivers ?

Outdoorsy is flooded with rentals with prices dropping. If your paying $5+ gallon for gas and $80+ a day to rent a trailer a nice Air BNB looks pretty affordable ?

I predict RV used market finally seeing a reality check on prices?

Thats the risk you face when you can’t deliver a product in a timely manner. Materials cost changes etc don’t stay fixed forever

Weatherproof brand for summer pants. Just as good as Columbia for 1/3 the price. They started doing lined pants too. Had those this winter good for mild winter actually snow skiied in a pair last week in spring skiing weather. My ski gear was too damn hot.

These new turbo engines have loads of torque at near diesel rpms. Yeah that was a really big change from my 4.7L Sequoia to my 3.5L Expedition the 3.5 never runs into the 3000+ range unless your just whaling on it. And even then your way past legal speeds pretty fast so yeah these new 3.5’s and...

My 3.5 expedition 3.73 easily does 21mpg on long highway trips. Several buddies with the 2.7 f150’s definitely see trip averages in the 24+

2.7 F150 is the perfect combo for the typical small truck person that needs space. Mileage for sure is a big advantage. Keep it stock and drive like a normal level headed person and they do 24-26mpg easily. Which the mid sized stuff can’t touch.

Ford dealers also still onow how to service transmissions and gear boxes. Subaru dealers forgot how to do that yrs ago and treat them like mysterious mechanical things more complicated than a super car which they are not. Skip the Subaru I dumped my last one when all our dealers went stupid...

I can see selling my cherry garage queen SLK350 fun car (27,000 miles) and getting a plugin hybrid Ford Bronco sport in a few yrs. I could use a small utility type vehicle that can haul, dogs, bikes, tools etc. Yesterday I had tools, paint, 5 gallons of diesel in the trunk of the SLK to go work...

Most posts have at minimum a 15amp 120v plug and a 30amp plug. Most EV owners plug the EV into the 30 and the trailer into the 15. Trailers can do basics on 15 but typically AC isn’t an option on the 15. If they have a 50 amp plug same deal only EV is charged over night vs say day and a half on...

The grill bar and roof rack are a 4-5mpg hit at higher speeds. Nakid you’d get 21-24mpg at 65 and under.?

Yeah really wanted the plugin hybrid Expedition assuming it would be like my wifes Fusion. Nope. The Fusion went 13months between gas station visits during covid lock down given wife stopped her commute. But I drove the Fusion around locally hauling kids ev only. Given gas prices going up I’ll...

So put the camper between the EV and the shore power plug? Umm? Why would you do that?

Its pure numbers game vs use type for these hybrids now. Plugin hybrid with say 15-30 mile EV range like my wife’s Fusion is fantastic for local short trips. Full highway trips its less effective for sure. I suspect competitive payload numbers vs battery weight is the current reason the hybrid...

Yep and easy to escape the stupids.?. Not to mention my neighbor pays more to store his 26ft POS travel trailer in a dirt lot 60 miles from the coast than I pay for a secure slip at a yacht club with great facilities ??
