The TRA Load Inflation Tables show around 35 psi for this application. Does the tire manufacturer recommend something different? The OP's tires are rated for 80 psi cold. According to TRA, the cold inflation pressure is “taken with the tires at the prevailing atmospheric temperatures and do...

There's a lot of misinformation out there. Sitting idle should consume less than 1% per day of battery capacity. Base vehicle Ignition-OFF Draw is specified at less than 25mA. Self discharge and a couple of other items should only amount to low single digit milliamps. Call it 30mA tops, 0.72Ah...

I've seen that site and I don't think they have accurate monthly figures. There are a lot of duplicates for the quarters since Stellantis stopped reporting monthly, e.g., The quarterly sums are fine but I think they're making up the monthly numbers.

Thank you. Can you provide a source? I thought Stellantis stopped reporting monthly sales awhile back.

Using 2020 as a baseline for any economic metric is cherry-picking and tantamount to lying. For example, one could argue from the data that: 2.4 million full-time jobs were lost between January 2017 and January 2021. 18.4 million full-time jobs have been added since January 2021. Therefore...

It's a gruesome violation when the price of my labor decreases. It's inflationary when the price of another's labor increases. Got it.

The only people bringing up the economy are the guys ranting like a drunken uncle at Thanksgiving dinner. And they do get testy when challenged. New vehicle unit sales are up for the 7th quarter in a row. Source: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TOTALSA Real inflation-adjusted GDP has...

They won't address the data because it undermines their narrative. Instead they'll try to bury it in bullshit.

First half total US sales by manufacturer, 2024 vs 2023. I've only included manufacturers that sell pickups in the US. Guess who the downside outlier is. Manufacturer H1 2024 H1 2023 Delta Ford 1,044,133 1,007,568 3.63% GM 1,289,573 1,294,884 -0.41% Honda 690,281 631,532...

Here are first half US sales figures for the midsize pickup segment, this vs last year. Make of it what you will. The clouds don't care...

The 2024 Tacoma was delayed. I expect they'll end up selling over 200k for the year.

The amateur economists have spoken. I think I saw some kids on your lawn.

Yes to option A. Grow a pair. Also, you don't have to wait 30 minutes to go swimming.

Renegade was discontinued in the US after the 2023 model year.

Cruise control is far from optimal. It shouldn't be hard to get 10-20% over EPA estimates. Most drivers don't because they are impatient, impulsive and largely unaware of how their driving habits kill fuel economy. That said, my Gladiator 3.6L is the worst vehicle I've ever driven for uphill...

16.76 lifetime on a new 2023 Sport Max Tow. That's 3347 miles driven on 199.656 gallons, assuming the truck was 100% full when I bought it (which I doubt). All but about 200 miles of that was on 35" pizza-cutter Baja Boss ATs. No other mods worth mentioning. That's a poor showing, considering...

Nope. Fuel economy may well be affected but it won't be because of this. A larger tire turns slower at the same vehicle speed. The radius cancels out completely. The energy required to accelerate the vehicle to a fixed speed is exactly the same with tires of equal mass, regardless of diameter...
