For example, this dealership sales guy is/was a genius (probably still alive, not sure if he still works there). Nissan was giving cash off via incentives on the Titan and a great warranty. He took that, bought tires and lift kits with it, modified the trucks, did the work at the dealership and...

Dealers make profit on F&I and adds on like tire protection and what not. Ford and dealer split profit on truck sale. This has changed a lot. It used to be dealers would take trucks, put lifts and tires on them and keep all the profits. Aftermarket upfitters were getting involved too with...

Dealers made that money not automakers imo.

I've been on a media trip with about 200 journalists and Slate came up quite a bit. I can tell you not one single person believes Slate is going to actually come to market at the price point they stated. I think we need a betting pool. LOL.

I've heard a lot of profit margins lately especially from Ford. The average margin is 15% with some being slightly higher and others being slightly lower. Most analysts peg the number at $10,000 per F-150. Now, I know it seems like models like the Raptor should have more profit than say a base...

SAVANNAH, Ga. – It’s a rare day in hades that I don’t have some kind of range anxiety while driving an electric vehicle – especially in a rural area. But as the temps skyrocketed up to 90 degrees in Georgia while driving the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9, that rare day happened. We started out at […]...

I saw one at Walmart the other that was plexiglass with silicone gel and duct tape. Real DGAF car as well. You really have to be down on your luck if that's your ride.

I read that as a replacement of a different bulletin: "This bulletin is being revised to update the parts table."

Nothing back from GM, not unusual. I ran across this today. Interesting thought that nobody has brought up: the extra fuel costs. Do we know exactly how much? No we don't. It could be 1 or it could be a .5 or .25. Either way it could cost owners more in fuel...

I haven’t spent much time over there. Guess I better start. 😂

I wish we knew the actual sales numbers for the Classic. My math shows the 1500 was off by 27k trucks for Q2 from 2024 versus higher sales for 2023. That quarter was right around the time the new 2025 model was announced. The Q1 numbers were closer at 16k trucks less for 2024 than 2023. This...

I can tell you, after talking with marketers and execs, the feeling is if they don't push the envelope they are losing sales. They have to keep innovating and keep trying new things to stand out. Toyota specifically felt like their vehicles were becoming very uncompetitive.

I have to say I'm getting bored with the comments on these stories that are always "fix the engines/transmission issues, remove DFM, fix the lifter issues, remove the big screens, remove direct injection, improve the seat comfort, etc..." I get it the frustration on some of this stuff. However...

Thought I hit publish on this yesterday, guess not. Anyway, the video went live this morning. First comment was from a guy in Germany calling me a wuss. LOL

This might just be the craziest or the coolest damn idea I've ever come up with for a press loaner.

Yeah, that was one of the press trips with some shitty hotel coffee. I don't have high standards, but hotel coffee is usually better than that.
