How's the fires?

About warm enough to go out and change brakes on my truck, 45F! Needs a front wheel bearing changed as well. That'll be a lot of sledgehammer beatings.....

Yeah, that's just crazy that it was so convoluted for something that happened so early. Just-In-Time inventory systems are great for production of new product but absolutely terrible for spare parts.

Love the trucks but that damn door chime drives me nuts. dooDEEdoo, dooDEEdoo Gotta be the most annoying door open chime in the industry. Although I'm sure it brings great comfort and joy to many.

I think it's funny how much brand hate/loyalty there is. The issues with the GM 6.2 sounds like the issue with the Toyota 3.4, the Ford transmissions, the Ram eTorque, etc. Do the actual issues exist? Sure, they do. But you still have great odds of getting one without an issue. Like everything...

Wow, there's a conspicuous lack of physical buttons in that center stack. Toggles on the bottom can only do so much. No big rotary knob like the EV? Hopefully it has a physical headlight switch for the die-hards. It would be nice to get a pic at night to see what lights up. Looks like clearance...

You're not wrong but it's truly how most truck buyers/drivers think today. I don't know of any truck users who read MotorTrend back in the day. Unless they owned a GM 3500 dually to tow their Porche to the track. But now? Trucks are the bigger choice over the sports cars for the "mid-life"...

Have one somewhere from the 80s. Never really cared for the blade shape. For cheap simple utility knife, I wouldn't pay over $30. My go to is a Benchmade I bought in the 90s for $100.

This is what everyone wants to know. Sometimes it seems like dogpiling. Everybody joins in if one person says it, and then that makes it truth. Extremely difficult for a manufacturer to fight that. They may go to all their dealers and collect the data of failures brought in, but the numbers end...

Yep, so many kept pricing and ate the difference, then there was those that passed it on. Which is why the fight will be so long.

Well, everyone tends to say, "Why don't they make them like they used to?". Maybe compare what your old Chevy's capabilities and features are to your RHO? Could it still be a daily driver? Can it tow? Where would it fall expressed in today's dollars for value? Tradesman? Big Horn? Obviously, the...

"Polished diff washers"? Damn Tim, maybe Ford paid attention when you did the video about their rusty diffs on the new trucks. At least stainless washers are a start!...lol

The big fight will be over the refunds. First will be the argument if the refunds even get made. And then, if the $150 billion that was collected is paid back to the businesses, will they in turn pay us back since we paid for it through the raised prices? Of course, they'll argue that which will...

The wife always gets a warranty and tried to use it for a van back in 2004 for the tranny, but it was denied. Mech knew the TQ convertor was going but the warranty company said they'd take the chance it wouldn't fail before the warranty ended. They won that bet and we ate it as it failed shortly...

I see. You'd use the Tremor to compare to other press trucks. Not a terrible idea as the Ford is still current, it's a choice anyone shopping new would have. And when you get the Silverado, it'll be the long-time rivalry of current Ford vs latest Chevy.

So tough to get good comparisons from something like that since they are still pretty far apart. Someone would always throw that in your face. Maybe if after the RHO you got two used trucks from different brands of mid-tier like an XLT and a Big Horn then compared those two on price, cost of...

Nope. I still don't believe in them. If repair costs were so high and so common, they'd never make money on those warranties. Yet they sell them like crazy. To me, I still equate it to buying a lottery ticket. Except if you win, you really lose because your truck broke.

Funny thing about bumpers. I bought a brand-new Jeep Comanche off the lot. It actually had a 2x4 bolted to the back because it did not come with a bumper. Bumpers back then, like radios, were optional.....lol

Oh without doubt. But in the context of features...they don't matter.

That's what I have always known, 10 years. Trailer tires are always the biggest violators. People hate replacing tires that appear perfectly fine.
