They don't make them for this generation yet *sadface* This is also the wifey's car. She's more Luxury Spice than Sporty Spice haha
Took the Jeep on a ~200 mile road trip today and man, between the adaptive cruise control, the adaptive lane assist and the massaging seats, this thing just eats up the miles. Albeit a little frightening as it's extremely easy to let the mind wander and not really pay attention.
dont use/like lane assist, but love adaptive cruise. Still haven't to pay attention and drive but dont have to worry about the gas/brake pedal.
Wife's great-aunt just sold us her 2013 Ford Edge, for what I think is a good deal( basically 5k). She did disclose there was a issue with the R/P, but we didn't feel anything, and had multiple car-minded family members drive it. What seems to be the problem is the power steering intermittently fails, but only in reverse. Once back in park/drive/etc, everything is fine. power steering pump replacement?
Well ford Canada just released there prices these are the starting prices F450 crew cab 2022 2023xl $72,919.00 $75,859.00 xlt $80,355.00 $84,155.00 lariat $90,869.00 $104,029.00 king ranch $103,205.00 $115,045.00 platinum $105,345.00 $116,285.00 limited $113,805.00 $126,625.00 fuck me
I've seen good, low mileage examples of the pre-superduty F-350 powerstrokes, think 1998 and down, for sale for probably more than original MSRP. It's insane these days.
That wasn't uncommon during the pandemic for newer ones. The prices went up so much on new units, and you couldn't get new units, that the trade in values for 3-6 year old ones were as much as you paid for them. So with the new pricing, I priced out a new XLT(so cloth) diesel. $116k. How the fuck does anyone afford these.
I could sell my 3500 Cummins for what I paid for it, and I could sell my Airstream for $40k more than I paid for it. I bought these 2 years ago, and never ever considered that either of them would be appreciating assets. Prices be nuts yo.
I'm guessing we're going to start seeing 120+ month loan terms for some trucks. And at the high end, that's still over $1,000 month payment. I'll never buy new again, last one was 2017, before this craziness. I'll go back to early to mid 90s and do a complete rebuild/restoration, after I wear out my Titan.
I need a new truck, mine is a POS like absolute POS. But i need one that tows and can have load in the bed. So I need a relative new one, lets says 2011+ f350 with gas. Decent enough pay load and can tow 12.5k. That is a 30k truck with 200k km's on it.
I'd say wait as long as absolutely possible. Starting to see new RAM 2500's being advertised on cars.com with price drops. The used car market will follow.
Oh i am. I am going to milk that truck until i can't anymore. It really only moves when i am towing my excavator to the renters location and back home. I just have no idea how people are driving new trucks. I make good money and i don't want/cant justify spending that much money. A XLT gas with options is 105k with tax that is 1500/month for 84 months. Who the fuck are buying that many of these tings?
Yeah, I don't need those kinds of capabilities. If you do, then you have to pay to play, and that sucks right now. Good thing is, they last a lot of miles these days. My friend had a V-10 F-350, with over 400k miles on it when he sold it. It was still very powerful. The interior showed the most wear, of course.
Leases mainly, at least where GM is concerned, the overwhelming majority of people seem to like to throw money away and then give the car back too.
To add insult to injury, the price of diesel right now is nuts... I filled up last weekend at $2.65 a litre.
I just don't get it. Most people don't need them or only use them for what they can do 1 or 2 weeks a year. Gas is 179.9 or 189.9 depending on the station and diesel is 219.9. Diesel is easy to make then gas, so they are just ripping you off.
I keep getting new & used truck ads in my feed. Out of curiosity I looked up what I could get for my truck. The average trade in was over $12k and private resale was $16k. This is for a 2011 Ram 1500 crew cab with 120k miles.
More bitchin about truck prices, just looking at ford.com because ford.ca isn't as upto date as the US site. Ford Raptor R starts at 109USD plus tax.
This video is awesome and high comedy: Also, just casual credit outtake of him breaking his back and hip on the base jump landing. Love Travis Pastrana, but those 30+ concussions will surely result in CTE at some point?
