Nice April fools prank. I enjoyed it.

I think the most you would see on this would be a temporary discount from some of the big 3 automakers amounting to their previous maximum manufacturers discounts (5 to 10%) to make it look like they are helping out. It would just be their normal incentive offering a little ahead of schedule.

I’ll ramble a bit here: Tim, I don’t think you are ready for the rocking chair yet. I know I would miss your posts if you sold your business. Many more would as well. I’m sure the cash out looks good. I guess you have to ask yourself if you still have the passion for it. If so, perhaps you need...

Very good thought… Let’s talk trucks!!

I’m glad I bought a new truck in 2023. I wouldn’t want to be in the market late this year or next year. There’s no escape from the politics… That Hilux looks so different from what is available in the US and Canada right now. Reminds me of the tacomas many years ago.

That’s great Tim… hang in there.

Well Tim, if you get into doing these trim comparisons on a regular basis you may make my wife happy. I drive her crazy sharing the research that I usually do for about 18 months or so before I buy a new truck. She usually gets to the point of telling me she’s sick of hearing about it and “just...

I just watched the clip… it was a good concise video of the situation. I do best when someone dumbs it down..lol. I’m not sure if some will believe what he says but what can you do?

Interesting choices all (including the classic Dodge). Midsize I would probably go Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter Full size: Ram Rebel … I only encounter light off road terrain …. I’d love an RHO but it wouldn’t fit in my garage and would be a high step for some shorter/older people that have to get...

Thanks for the information Tim. I may put some PPF on at least some of the outside of my tailgate. I scraped off some paint last summer (apparently) while hauling something(just noticed this march). It appears like stuff (probably gravel) fell between the tailgate and the bumper then I closed...

Hey Tim, now that you’ve had the PPF on the truck for awhile what are your thoughts on it?

Hey Tim, Just to close this off. I did have it fade out on me today as well. As a work around I reloaded the page and if I could click the continue button on the open chrome app prompt fast enough everything would work fine if I delayed that prompt would disappear and I could not interact with...

Nice article… eye opening for improvements over the years on how cars are made. It’s funny I owned a version of a pictured vehicle: mine was a 1980 Mazda GLC(bought used, my third car). You couldn’t get more basic than that car. 4645 in 1980 and $17700 in 2024 dollars. No air, manual...

lol, we both wrote a similar comment at the same time…

It was a good video. I know you had to keep it pretty general due to liabilities and marketing impact. It’s interesting the number of negative comments that just run through the same old things over and over. Even if you show most people data that the new vehicles are more reliable most won’t...

lol, It’s working with google chrome again for me… if I see a pattern I’ll let you know.

I didn’t want to quote you in case I misunderstood the silo reference. But I assumed that’s what you meant… and I totally agree.

The vehicle manufacturer probably tries to keep the engineer isolated and working on only the specs management gives them. Similar to a lot of dealer experiences where they don’t want you to interact with the mechanic. As a retired IT guy we would develop systems according to specs given but...

It is interesting. I’m thinking about what questions I’ve had over the years (because I have owned 4 dodge/ram trucks in a row starting in 2002). This is without asking any trap questions. Feel free to ignore all of these. First a comment: there’s a reason I’ve stuck with Ram… I’ve had excellent...
