  1. Current & Future EPA Regs - Towing Implications

    Just some observations. I was curious about the proposed EPA Final Rule (for 2027-beyond vehicles) when it was ‘unveiled’ in the Federal Register May of 2023. Lots of data, between the proposed rule/referenced documents/comments from interested parties, many thousands of pages. Life is too...
  2. Ford 2Q24 Earnings – Nuggets from Conference Call on Quality, Other

    Always interesting/fun to read Ford’s earning call transcripts (and the associated analyst’s interpretation of same).

  4. '24 Base F150 XL vs. '24 Base Silverado WT

  5. Boats, boat ramps, 4WD, open differentials

    A question for you boat owners/boat ramp users out there…… I’m thinking of buying a new ’23 XLT regular cab long bed OGT (Old Guy Truck). It has a weirdly-optioned powertrain (3.3L 4WD with 3.73 open rear differential) but price is good all things considered. I don’t really want or need 4WD...
