Wasted?
Trickle down economics. No doubt there is a rim shop owner having a good Xmas this year. Not to mention the salesman who sold the 80k truck and the financial institution that is making 8% apr on the purchase.

Nice thing about a high speed cop chase is you can really explore your truck’s capabilities. https://www.instagram.com/tv/B6gTcwY...=103miu78g2exo

Don’t most new fancy “platinum” “high country “ $60-80k trucks come with auto-folding mirrors in our modern times?

Trucks.
Ha, I saw that one
I was parked one row ahead of that guy
I’m guessing he was one of the table of six dudes that were playing poker in the alpenstube. They had poker chips, were not dressed for skiing (or even snow), and seemed to be having a merry time cheering hands that went well.

I still crack up at the thought of Lucas having anything to do with an electric vehicle.

I guess after the Gatling gun and winch there’s not much left over for custom paint?

Thinking to ditch my 2001 ram 2500 diesel longbed (130,000 miles) for the smallest gas powered pickup that can tow 6,500 lbs (boat = 2500, motor = 800, motor2 = 100, batteries = 100, fuel = 500, random shit = 250, trailer = 1500: total = 5600).
Towing is short distance and basically the only reason the truck gets used, mostly flat, pretty slow speeds, one very short steep hill to the house.
I've towed the boat with a buddies old style Tundra - towed fine, but definitely noticed it more vs the dodge.
Other than that I don't have any experience towing our boat with a smaller vehicle. Looking at 2014+ keeping it at $20k or (even better) less - what hits this mark?

If you could find a half ton like an xl f150 with the 2.7 you’d have ample grunt and frame to tow. Also possible to find a half ton Chevy with 5.3. There’s almost no reason to go tacoma or canyon since pricing will be similar to half tons and at the upper range of their towing capacity.
Yes I know the taco acolytes will beat me down, but they are not good towing compared to good old American iron.

This taco owner agrees.

Don't buy Ford. Just had a spark plug fall apart, damaged the cylinder and supposedly the crank arm, whole engine replacement. 2013 w/80K miles, certified preowned, 7 year 100K warranty. All scheduled maintenance done. Spark plugs aren't even supposed to be changed until 100K. Ford will not stand behind the warranty or their product. Shit company.

Ford won't stand behind it? Or the dealer is saying that to you? Call another dealer or call Ford directly if you haven't already. Dealers don't like to do warranty work in their shops for free. They'll tell lies occasionally to take your money. It's not a secret that it happens.

I don't think they don't eat those charges ? Doesnt warranty work just get charged back to the manufacturer so its still good money for the dealer ?

Didn't know Ford was in the business of providing extended warranties on 6yo trucks? Especially considering that in 2013, they only warranted new trucks 3yr/36000 basic, 5yr/60000 powertrain.
Are you quite sure you don't have a 3rd party extended warranty?
Did Ford make the spark plug that failed? Is there a TSB or a plug recall, or has Ford in any other way addressed breaking plugs in your engine or chassis model? If I built trucks with 3rd party plugs, I'd stipulate warranty and a grievance procedures in my plug supplier contracts, yo?
Was there a chip or tune on the truck? You're SOL if there was. You're on shaky ground in court if there were any engine mods that could conceivably affect plug temps or pressures - intake, exhaust, fueling, etc

CPOs have to be sold from a franchise dealer. If the truck was CPO, then it's got a Ferd warranty.
Saw this while I was in FL. Lots of want.

I've gotten a couple of cars on the CPO deal and they've both had 7/100. That has saved me huge money a couple of times, the kind of stuff where I'd walk away from the car before spending that much to make it right. My BRZ has had the engine out twice now including the most recent recall that had the engine torn down and rebuilt last summer and had the steering column replaced along with a couple of things I made sure wore out around 90k.
