    How old is too olds?

    I totally agree… I’m over 60 and I ripped my cd’s as well and dump them on a small usb drive and leave that plugged in to my truck… much better than shuffling cd’s for me.

    OPEC and oil prices

    Crazy times… then, once everything stabilizes for awhile at whatever level… OPEC will reduce production again raising oil prices.

    The tariffs happened!

    lol, sure looks that way. It was just something I read on why some economists want tariffs in the US. Too deep in the weeds for me to follow that logic.

    The tariffs happened!

    I’m no economist but I can see that in a limited application. A certain amount of tariffs work to keep you from being dependant on foreign sources for essential items. Free trade allows for a higher standard of living by allowing most goods to be cheaper for the average consumer. Just like...

    The tariffs happened!

    I’ll admit that I’m pessimistic but I figured they would offer their normal incentive plans. We will see when the price of parts etc start getting hit with tariffs.

    2025 Q1 Truck Sales: Ford F-Series and Tacoma Booms, Frontier Sinks

    You took the words right out of my mouth. I agree on every statement you made. I subscribe to Pickup Truck and SUV talk for the balanced view without any other agenda.

    The tariffs happened!

    Unfortunately, Stellantis halting production in Mexico and Canada makes it look like the tariff strategy is working. Will make it take longer to get settled into any agreement.

    2025 Q1 Truck Sales: Ford F-Series and Tacoma Booms, Frontier Sinks

    That’s interesting that RAM is up in retail sales and down in fleet sales. I wonder if they are just priced too high for fleet? Is this perhaps due to the classic no longer being available?

    Sold the DODGE POS! Finally, you guys convinced me.

    Nice April fools prank. I enjoyed it.

    Automakers warned not to raise prices due to tariffs

    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.

    The tariffs happened!

    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...

    Reminder about political posts and comments

    Very good thought… Let’s talk trucks!!

    The tariffs happened!

    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.

    Trim comparisons

    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...

    What is all this diesel emissions talk?

    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?

    Free truck - What are you picking?

    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...

    XPEL PPF and ceramic coating

    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...
