Can we drop the politics maybe?

Could be interesting. Could just as easily be a dud from my perspective depending on how they do it. I need a truck for truck purposes, so if they do some sort of light duty thing with reduced capacities (like with the manual), it's kind of a non-starter. Additionally, a few things I've read...

About to close a deal on my ZR2 Bison with a similar calculus. Haven't ordered my JT yet though... We're both working from home, have three cars, and are selling down to one. My wife will eventually go back into the office, and hopefully the 2022s are out. I hope to have truck in hand by then...

It's been said. Lots of people justifying life choices. That's about 75% of what forums are anyway, so to be expected. The bottom line is that not everyone encounters scenarios where lockers are needed, be it due to use case or environment. Not everyone who does knows how to use them when they...

Here's some non-speculation: Jeep is intentionally tight lipped about model year changeover, color release dates, etc., because they want people to buy now rather than wait. The way the internets work, if pretty much anyone at all finds out anything at all, it gets out and everyone knows...

If I didn't live in a place where 4wd and lockers were occasionally mandatory for daily things, this would be pretty attractive. Also, if it wasn't a Ford. Not a Ford fan. I do, so it's not. Meanwhile, my brother is a teacher in Dallas. He is getting to the point where he has been thinking...

I thought Gecko was supposed to be a MY21 color, and it was just not happening due to external circumstances. I'm pretty sure Billet Silver wasn't one of the special colors; Mark Allen called it part of the "vinyl siding collection" or something along those lines (referring to all the different...

As open as things are on the JT, this may not be the case, but in most cars the wheel wells are pretty high pressure. Louvres on the fenders allow that air/pressure out. Better for fuel economy, helps with down force, vents brakes, that sort of thing.

Gotta take it easy if you're not acclimated. Takes a few weeks at altitude to get back to normal. Walk slow, take breaks on stairs, etc. The earth ain't flat; altitude is very real. ~3% decrease in air (and oxygen) density per thousand feet above sea level means you're operating at a severe...

Checked this morning per the rumor. No changes on the bmo. Someone with a dealer contact will need to make a call to see if anything has materialized per this rumor.

Tomorrow according to the post on the previous page.

I just saw that Ford is unveiling the new Maverick on the 8th as well. Maybe one is attempting to steal the other's thunder?

Disregard.

Depends on your situation... If you live somewhere flat and hot, it's probably not something you need. I live in the mountains. I've had occasion to use lockers just to get out of the driveway. A few months ago, I was driving around with my infant daughter. She got sick and threw up. I pulled...

So you did. I read through the thread, and I distinctly remember the photo above your post, but somehow I missed it. Keep fighting the good fight! We're going to lose, and blind spot monitoring is going to be mandatory sooner than later, but fight while we can.

Mercedes has been using a synthetic leather called MB Tex for decades. It's not leather, but they don't say it is. Their leather is actually leather. Lexus and Toyota use genuine leather, and are pretty clear about it. My BMW was genuine leather. It certainly wasn't good, but it was real...

That's not entirely true... It's usually genuine leather. If you imagine leather as a series of layers, the top layer is the skin that the hair came out of, then there's a dense layer, then a less dense layer (really it's more of a gradient), then that hairy looking layer you see on the back of...

Pet peeve of yours too? Fight the good fight! Blind spot detection and all that expensive crap is being mandated (I think it already is on passenger cars) just like the backup cameras. We're all paying thousands of dollars more because people just don't know how to adjust their mirrors...

That would likely be considered an unauthorized channel of distribution. That assumes they have any interest in pursuing any such action. Keep it a year or two, then sell it (don't make a huge deal about how it's some super special thing that it isn't really), and odds are no one will cry foul.
