My problem with tariffs is simple: what was broken that they are attempting to fix? To me it seems like we're using a sledgehammer to try to kill a fly. Very little result but a huge impact. To determine if they work, you have to identify something that is wrong. The UK deal? Well now, the UK...

That is funny and so common. The problem with surveys, perspective. If you have had the same vehicle/brand for 20 years, your perspective is jaded. You really cannot compare it to anything else.

Nice! That looks great on the back of the RHO. The family must be excited. Do a video so we can watch all the towing gatekeepers comment on how you have the wrong truck for that, and you need to trade it in for an F350....lol.

The simplest jobs can cause the most damage if done incorrectly. Be glad it was overfilled vice not being filled at all.

Remember, they get the results from surveys of owners. All they do is tally the numbers. I just find it hard to believe there are so many Ford owners happy with the quality. But then again, Ford owners are some of the most stubborn I have ever come across. My cousin had one that burned oil...

The 5% would be defined as "enthusiasts" or those who have a "passion" for trucks. I know lots of truck owners who do not tow and probably never will. They bought it for the convenience of the interior size plus cargo. It has become the modern station wagon. Three guys at work have them and...

Don't be shy....pick that fight. If people just shy away from stating what they believe in and what the real data shows, only the vocals ones with no data or knowledge get their point out there and then it becomes fact. From reading the comments on most of your "controversial" videos, I think...

And the funniest part? That 5% are the ones who comment on YT videos and join forums...lol

Oh yeah, you know the videos that are coming. All the thin-oil haters are feeling vindicated now, so they'll use this situation to spread the gospel. You can see it in the comments of the Oil Geek's video. They are even slamming the "0W" part of it for some reason. I'm betting you could...

Exactly. But I also like how he strongly states that changing to thicker oil is no guarantee of extending engine life or even reducing wear. Like every good engineer, the question is always answered the same "It depends"......lol

And now the Motor Oil Geek has put out his explanation. Seems his big point in the whole thing is how changing the viscosity is not a bad thing, here or in any engine. You may lose mpg and affect VVT but you won't do damage or cause premature wear.

Crazy how the numbers are so different year to year. It is odd. The brand new 2025 F150 already has 3 recalls. Looking at CR's reviews, the reliability numbers change quite a bit per MY. For example: They list the 2024 F150 as 5 out of 5 in reliability yet the 25, 23, and the 22 as 2 out of 5...

The clickbait titles just piss me off. The whole "Don't buy this....." title then it gets a stellar review is the worst. At the end, they finish with "Don't buy this....unless you want the best there is." I know, it's a business and creators are trying to get the clicks and keep you on long...

Sadly, there is such a glaring difference between how GM reacted, and Toyota reacted. GM failed to identify an issue until the NHTSA forced them to whereas Toyota implemented a fix long before they even finished their own investigation or the NHTSA got involved. They looked at their block...

Or maybe on the decal under the hood? It's a good question. I would imagine the engine serial number would do it.

I use the same ones. And also for my hunting/shooting gear. I love how they latch securely, and the lid is raised vice subsurface. They sell them in Home Depot now.

Well, it's on fire because a peasant mob carry torches and pitchforks. Congratulations, you've discovered "negative" sells...lol. You found the way to spool up the blood-thirsty mob, now how do you spin it into a positive? Can't be all doom & gloom can it? I need some good news after receiving...

Yep, I do the same. A set of tire chains as well.

Welcome aboard! I'm just a state north of you. Lots of great choices out there. I honestly wouldn't hesitate to buy any of them. First identify hard needs like a min payload, passenger room, or towing. They all have notable features and sadly, they all have some issue or another. It just...

Look at it this way. Could be worse....coulda been $0.05!
