When I bought my 2019, I think we spent about 15 minutes signing all the paperwork. We did much of it via email before we even got there. We spent more time with the salesman in the truck than we did doing paperwork. I refuse to spend all day at a dealer to buy a vehicle..... I will...

A bit off topic here but I've read a lot about desulfators - do you have a link for a good one?

It is not that I CAN'T drive without the "nannies", it is just that it is fewer things to think about. For the auto high beams - I find that I drive on high beam a lot more with the auto high beams than I do without - because it is a PITA to keep flipping them up/down with oncoming traffic-call...

Those are nice looking rigs - a couple of things in my quick glance: Pure electric models offer up to 350 miles of range. Scout’s extended range models offer 500 miles of range or more through a built-in, gas-powered generator. Entry models starting as low as $51,500 with available incentives...

I don't consider the adaptive cruise, rain sensing wipers or auto high beams to be "nannies" - I really like all 3 of those options. The auto high beams in particular I thought was a gimmick, but driving in the country is WAY better with them, not having to continually dim your lights. The...

Congrats! Being paid off is the best part! I love not having a car payment.

Thanks Dave! You gave me a seizure first thing in the morning! :LOL:

I got mine for $126 based on a posting here.. I bought it just about a year ago, but only replaced it a month or so ago. So far, so good.....

It would be really nice to know WHY it happens - it is certainly a very odd thing - but this is good info if it ever happens again to someone.

As it only happened to me once I can't be sure, but the 3 minutes sounds about right for mine. It doesn't seem to have been battery related as it was when it was probably a couple of years old, and I didn't replace the battery until after 5+ years. What I remember was I got in and nothing...

So in your last update are you saying that EITHER the 3 minute reset will "fix" it, OR if you open the drivers door (10 minute reset) will "fix" it? That is how I read it, but I struggle with electrical stuff. If I read it correctly, the thing to do would be to open the drivers door and try...

Yeah, I used X-Plan to buy my 5G and I got a couple of other incentives as well. It certainly made for an easy purchasing experience for me.

The Toyota hybrids own the market I think, but I have to give Ford credit where credit is due. We have a 2016 C-Max hybrid that has been totally trouble free. Regular maintenance is all it has gotten (tires, battery, filters, etc). I was rather worried when we bought it and purchased the...

You are in a similar spot to where I was. I ended up buying a battery checker and it showed the battery health at 40% and it said "REPLACE". I figured 5+ years was good enough for me and I replaced the battery. I read something the other day that stuck with me - If you average out how much a...

I could say the same thing about the IT industry as well. Same concepts, someone just comes up with a new name for it and markets it as "new". I won't say there aren't EVER new ideas, but they don't come up very often - most are just rehashes of old ideas with a new name.

I used mine for what I bought it for - navigating the narrow, brushy forest service roads so I could get to places like this (although this old logging landing was not small, the road getting to it was):

Do you take lots of short trips? That would lead to fuel dilution in the oil since the engine never gets up to temp for long enough to boil off the fuel (or water) in the oil. That is the only thing I could think of to explain the differences in people's experience.

We've used our woodstove to heat our 2400 SF house in pretty cold weather (ice storms knocked out the power for 3 days a few years ago and another time probably 10 years ago). The downstairs was very comfortable - the upstairs is cool, but not bad at all. I'm always amazed at how much heat it...

I think that is just dealers wanting to pad things as much as they can. No one is FORCING anyone to use X-Plan, but if you do, it does have specific requirements (many of them to keep dealers from soaking you with additional fees, etc). One dealership I dealt with said they would happily...

If you do X-Plan (is that still a thing?), you should be able to get invoice details. X-Plan is (or was) a little over invoice.
