  1. Ford Dealer Sued Over Alleged $40,000 Super Duty Markup

    I saw this in the news last week and now again here. Something doesn't sound right because not to many people sign contracts without looking it over first. Especially a large purchase like a Super Duty. If this is true and the dealer forged their signatures and raised their rates they should be...
  2. Thieves Stop to Charge Their Getaway Tesla, Get Caught by the Cops

    No one ever said thieves were the sharpest knife in the draw. These guys stole $8,000 in merchandise from a Sam's club then took off in a Tesla. One thing they forgot was to check to see how much charge it had left. :oops: So they had to stop and charge it and got caught. lol Hey look, another...
  3. Another Reason I Hated New England

    Were these late year snow storms! All my friends and family have said this winter wasn't to bad, some cold spells and very little snow. Now here it is mid March and they're looking at a potential Nor'easter which could dump 12"+ over some areas. The area I was in WMA could see up to 18". o_O...
  4. Future Ford Maverick Competitor At $23K?

    Toyota is looking at bringing back the Stout in a hybrid. Right now it's still a concept but there's a few CG images and some nice thought out options for the inside. Competition is always a good thing and IF they can bring this out at the $23K price would be a huge seller. They'll have more...
  5. Lucid Air Grand Touring is an EV With Style, Power and 516 Miles of Range

    I've had a lot of EV videos popping up on my Youtube channel lately and this one from Lucid the most recent. Now this is a very impressive EV and one I could see owning. That is if I had an extra $180K laying around. lol The center Pilot screen is cool in how you tough a button and it disappears...
  6. Ford ranks among worst in JD Power customer service survey of 2020-2022 vehicles

    Not the kind of news we want to hear. Ford is ranked among the worst, according to the 2023 J.D. Power U.S. Customer Service Index Study. It's the first time in nearly 3 decades they've experienced a dip in satisfaction overall. Ford and Lincoln customers failed to give top ratings in any...
  7. EV Fires Are a Thing, but Not for Long. Honeywell Is Part of the Reason Why.

    It looks like Honeywell is looking to develop sensing solutions to detect if there is a problem with EV batteries. It will help in early detection of sensing an overheated battery and warn the driver. This is similar to the sensing units you now have in your refrigerator that signals you that...
  8. Ford Dealers Could Get Penalized For Selling To Flippers

    I don't agree with this at all. Ford is letting their dealers markup their vehicles when they said many times dealers would be penalized for doing so. So far...Nothing! So now they want to penalize the customer if they turn around and flip certain vehicles for a profit? Now I agree doing this to...
  9. Renting out your driveway: An easy ‘side hustle’ that could pay off?

    I guess in this economy people are looking for any way to help make a buck. It sounds like a good idea and even covered by insurance kind of like an Air BNB but for parking. https://www.yahoo.com/news/renting-driveway-easy-side-hustle-123309891.html
  10. Coming soon to US vehicles: Cameras to replace side mirrors, headlights that 'talk'

    While I think it’s a cool idea it’s just going to end up raising the costs of vehicles even more. I can’t imagine the cost to fix these once the vehicle is out of warranty and it’s having glitches. I can see this being beneficial for tucks towing but other than that I think it makes drivers more...
  11. Gary Rossington, Founding Lynyrd Skynyrd Guitarist, Dies at 71

    Sad to see the last founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd has died. I remember the night of the plane crash back on October 20, 1977. I've always loved southern rock and this was devastating news. While it wasn't the same I did get to see the Rossington Collins band a few times after that and their...
  12. Self-Driving Cars Scaring More People Than Ever: Study

    Ford decided to shut down Argo AI, the autonomous vehicle tech company that it backed financially. This really isn't all that surprising (tome anyways) seeing as this study has been over a 4 year period. I think the "cool" factor at first has worn off for some and they're now realizing there's...
  13. I'll Say It Again & Again, I Love This Truck!

    Driving back from Mexico yesterday I started thinking again on how much I really love this truck. I mean it’s just a darn truck so what’s wrong with me that I keep obsessing over this thing? I’m 44 months into owning it and I feel like I did the first day I saw it on the dealers lot.:inlove: It...
  14. How Much Can You ACTUALLY Tow?

    Josh the RV nerd has some good videos. Here's one showing a simple explanation of towing capacities, cargo and GVW. Kind of like a "Towing for dummies" video but it does help explain to those of us (myself included) who aren't extremely knowledgeable in towing. As always you should always get it...
  15. Are We Witnessing The Demise Of The Affordable Car?

    I know in many threads we've discussed the rising prices and how out of control they are. This article really shows how (in percentages) much they've gone up and the lack of affordable vehicles. There really isn't much (that's good) in the sub $30K range and the prices of vehicles over $60K have...
  16. Salesman Flips New Ford Ranger Raptor During Joyride

    The Admin posted tis over on the 6g site. If I were the customer and they told me that my brand new Raptor was rolled and totaled I'd think they were messing with me. I feel bad because he's had to wait so long for this and now who knows what'll happen. :angry...
  17. Battery Powered Foam On The Go!

    This is a nice portable unit for those who don't have a power washer. It's also great for quick detailing if you don't want to drag your power washer out it detailing wheel or engine bays. ? Yes I know I should probably get one for myself. lol The price isn't to bad at $255.00 which included...
  18. Happy Retirement Duke!

    Well, well well it looks like @DukeCanBuildit just can't build it anymore. ? Happy retirement buddy and I hope you have a long and healthy one. I'm sure Mrs Duke will find plenty to keep you busy around the house. But you know where to go if you need a break.:tumbleweed::sun:
  19. Mining Aluminum for the Ford F-150 Lightning Is Allegedly Making Thousands in the Amazon Rainforest Sick

    More troubles for EV's and the mining for their materials. Now many are getting sick in Brazil from toxic waste water seeping into the water supply. https://www.yahoo.com/autos/mining-aluminum-ford-f-150-233000513.html
  20. Tesla Buyers Are Even More Loyal Than Ford F-150 Fanatics

    GM once again claimed the #1 spot for customer loyalty for the 8th year in a row.Tesla now took over Fords #1 spot at the top of the “Loyalty to Make” category. This is the first time Ford has lost this since 2008 which was mostly due to the F150 dominance. Looks like maybe these high prices...
