If you need a truck today, well obviously you buy something for sale right now.
If you are shopping for a truck to purchase in 2-4 years, imo a PHEV is the future for anyone short of a Hot-Shotter, or maybe someone that just doesn't have access to an outlet at night.
It's worth noting that...
From scratch it's typically about $3.5K to have level 2 charging installed in my area assuming you don't need an entirely new panel. That was the quote I got on my old home that was built in the 1980s.
When I had my new house built in 2022, I had EV charging 50Amps pulled in 2 spots in the...
Are you by chance an incredibly bad driver? Unintentionally cutting people off and what not. Accidents occuring behind you as drivers swerve to avoid you casually cruising through the late yellow light, sort of thing.
Just kidding HammaMan!
I'm all for allowing people to carry a weapon for self-protection even if myself, I don't choose to.
Gun owners should know that the most likely use for your personal self-protection gun, is that your kid or an adult (includes gun owner) uses it to kill themselves. That's 54% of firearm deaths...
I have a friend that hauls fuel and goes to the 'racks' where the fuels come in by pipeline and they load up all of the individual compartments for delivery to different stations. When it arrives in the pipes it's all exactly the same.
Summarizing, this is what he has told me (it's been a few...
So I forwarded this exact post to my service writer by e-mail, requesting if I could get an update to my BC (paid for by me, of course).
He ran it up the pipeline and here is his response:
“No. upgrading to a newer version for this vehicle is not supported by ford as of now. Software and...
It's lower now, but we hit full CA real estate pricing in Austin a couple of years ago, which is why I left there 20 years ago!
My Bro is paying $1500/ month for his Raptor, but obviously that is also a factor of his DP, equity, etc.
53 years old this past week and trust me, it's taken a lot of stupidity to arrive here.
At my office, we get sweet deals on Fords through X plan, and some of the other guys get 1-2 new Fords per year. It works for them, they never have to do a repair or buy tires, always have the latest and...
I just REALLY like my '21. It runs and drives perfectly, is still under warranty, is hard loaded, etc. The '24s look less loaded and featured out to my eyes.
I'd never get my mods back in cost (or time) and I'd have to spend another $40K +, to get my same truck in a new one and I don't think...
My buddy bought a new Ford truck here in TX and it was heavily rusted underneath (according to him as I never saw it). I presume it happened in Detroit when the vehicle was built, and then transported.
I do find people in non-rust zones maybe a little hypersensitive to a bit of surface rust...
I installed a Wolfbox on my previous truck.
It was a nice unit for sure, however, I realized that I didn't love using the monitor screen as a backup camera as it was jarring to my eyes. It fit my mirror poorly and looked aftermarket, and honestly it was a total PITA to install and run...
Physics, says that your lifted F150 isn't going to ever get 25+ mpg.
Mine is heavy with 22" wheels (that's a huge hit) but I average right at 19 mpg most tanks, and see a little better (20ish) when I drive slowly outside of my Hill Country home.
It is what it is, and I do care about economy.
I did the other side this morning.
To remove the oem crash bars, you have to cut them first because there isn't enough room to slide them out otherwise. With a Sawzall, this was incredibly hard! I'm a garage mechanic, not a Pro.
I would not do this project again without a torch. But after...
