Thanks for the thoughtful review. In looking the Gladiator in the past year, I combined my experience renting a Wrangler 4xe for surprise visit (better than expected handling and interior room, loud cabin noise and just okay seats) and then comparing that trim level with a comparable...

https://www.weku.org/npr-news/2024-02-17/autoworkers-threaten-to-strike-again-at-fords-huge-kentucky-truck-plant Good Find, just added some more. Unlike the downtown Louisville Assembly (Escape/Corsair), this jewel of a plant is right on the I-265 outer beltway, is in a nice area with plenty...

There is always one...or 1000s of Rangers fans on LI. Ford Fan and I like GMs, oh well, vive la différence! Hope you can leave soon, my cousin is close to retiring from the Nassau County Police and moving to Florida, pretty much the last hold out. They may be a smaller fan base, but we Isles...

Originally; lived in South Huntington until I was teenager and we moved to Florida. Work has me in the Eastern Midwest now. Still a fan of the Islanders, from before the Dynasty onwards....Wish I was in Jersey tomorrow to watch them beat that other New York team in person at Met Life.

Eric, sorry about the hit. The one thing I believe which is driving this is interest rates; one for the dealer financing their inventory, i.e. floor planning and the other is trying to get the price low enough so their markup doesn't drive away price w/higher interest rate (Out the door cost)...

Thanks!

Glad your search is ending and mine is beginning. As the "vehicle deal guy" in the family, I have a new challenge. Son's family is moving back East and now that the family is growing and they don't have absurdly narrow roads, Daughter in Law wants a Suburban. May have something to do with...

ICE recycling has its own issues too, with oily heads, cranks and even blocks being dumped in landfills. However there is a thriving recycle business. One of my favorite You Tubers is Eric from I Do Cars: https://www.youtube.com/@I_Do_Cars/videos He has a a great recycling business where many...

https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/02/first-look-at-2025-ford-explorer-st-platinum/ Thumbnail bomb! Just having some fun, the Hardestys are down the road a bit from me in Lexington and have really grown their channel with great dealer relations like SaabKyle pioneered. Sounds like a future...

That while batteries may enable a "new vehicle" power in an aging EV chassis, there is a downside...As detailed in the article on the recycling challenge that is not up to snuff yet on keeping them and their toxicity out of landfills.

Hmm, you may be on to something, is this RAM getting ready to use the DT (or is it a DU now?) chassis for a full size RAM SUV, given how the uber expensive (Grand) Waggoneer has been gathering dust on the lots? I mean its been a long time and not even in the US that RAM had one:

The Short Winkelvoss twins are first wave?!?

Reese Mica of TFL ("If you ain't first, you're last!") says anything to do with engine, transmission, heck, whole vehicle "break in" is for losers!

https://www.boatingworld.com/question-answer/why-are-ships-not-made-from-stainless-steel/ Hopefully Tesla won't sell the Cybertruck in any location that uses road salt to melt snow into water.

I imagine the press fleet manager manages a lot of brands...How long can you review Malibus, Mustangs, Camrys, Accords, Altimas, and Elantras. Stay away from electric if you can...Say one bad thing about Tesla:

Make sure you drive it back enough miles in case it hasn't been broken in ;) Why does it have be body style specific? Auto Testerdahl

TFL is entertainment first and foremost, technical accuracy is second...An opinion based on 1st hand experience: Time stamp 10:40, Nathan goes into low brow humor and then compounds the error with a bizarre (and wrong) explanation of the closed loop air intake. Thinking this was an...
