You must not be very familiar with the auto dealer industry. Things will slow and dealers will be forced to take stock from manufacturers in order to keep their dealer license and/or allocations of profitable/highly desirable units. Guess what happens when dealers are forced to take stock of...

I just paid $285.95/tire for four new KO2s (stock size & load range C) from discount tire. $301/per tire less a 5% online order discount.

What if I have a boat load of money and I’m willing to pay more than you to get the truck I want now? ADM allows this to happen by controlling demand during periods of supply is constraint; this is similar to pretty much any other unregulated scarce resource. Fine art, concert tickets, Bitcoin...

Day trading stonks that only go up. Specifically, going long SWBI (gun business) at the start of a global pandemic, holding through the midst of an attempted Marxist revolution, all of which happened during an election year actually, the above helped pay off the note, But I initially purchased...

Ditto. Mine came from the factory like that and I simply pushed it back into place. It’s definitely an assembly line mass production vehicle and not a hand built $300k machine

430 to 480 most of the time

They can get a lot more HP out of the TT 3.5L V6 as well if they wanted to and it was safe (i.e. Ford legal signs off on it). Why does it have to be a big heavy NA V8 when a lighter & more fuel efficient TT V6 can get the job done with better HP and TQ numbers? The "garbage electronics" are...

I’m on the west cost so I’m stuck with crappy 91 and use pretty much exclusively Costco gas unless I’m traveling and not near a Costco. I was just doubting you could notice any real performance difference when hypermiling the truck. My regular city driving habits get me around 14mpg on the...

There's no way you were in a position to notice "increased performance" when exercising the driving habits necessary to obtain 17 or 18 MPG city fuel efficiency. Something does not add up here and I'm not buying it. If you had told me "I'm a spirited driver and increased my MPG from 12.3 to...

I experienced, what sounds like /might be, a similar issue on my truck. Symptoms included a significant loss in power and a loud "hissing" noise, similar to depressing a valve stem on an inflated tire, from inside the cab when the spooling turbos and would otherwise normally be providing boost...

$71K msrp less $6K under sticker = $65K purchase price for my loaded 2019. If I can sell it one year later for $59K that would be $6K depreciation.... wtf are you whining about, troll? Go ahead and trade your Raptor for a Taco. Mine was purchased for the utility, not a return on capital

Looks good, like a show truck. but, personally not for me. I’d rather not have the extra paint to worry about scratching while Off road, doing truck-type chores, and visiting public parking lots.

I was stocked when I saw the SxS and ready to put in my order, that was until I saw the $80K+ sticker and reality kicked in

IMO, the future of the electric vehicle is hydrogen fuel cells, not battery technology. There is a Company (Nikola Motors) building hydrogen electric 18 wheelers along with a network of hydrogen filling stations. Refueling times would be similar to gas/diesel, emissions friendly, and no...
