Hi... thanks for that reply. I'm guessing that since this is a Mopar part it will be excluded from the price match guarantee, but it's interesting that I can find this particular item at several different places for significantly lower than your "sale" price. I guess it's worth a shot to give...
I want a set of the MOPAR All-Weather floor mats (red lettering) for my Sport S.
- Quadratec: Currently "On Sale" for $193.66 (free shipping) - "Guaranteed Lowest Price" - LOL!!!
- Northridge: $170.00 (free shipping)
- BAM: $136.50 + $17.46 shipping for me = $153.96
- Amazon: $144.79 with free...
I'm curious to know if the old solid front axle Toyota 4x4 pickups (back before they were named "Tacoma" suffered from death wobble. Anybody know? I'm sure it can happen to any solid front axle vehicle after they get a lot of miles on them and suspension/steering components are worn and need to...
I went for a regular Sport S because the dealer had one in color I wanted with the exact options I wanted and the price was right. It was/is all I needed & nothing I didn't/don't. It is my daily driver on a fairly long commute, so I don't plan to put huge wheels/tires on it and kill the already...
It's true that many (most?) vehicle purchases are more emotional than practical. In my case, I needed a mid-size pickup. I wanted a Jeep. The Gladiator was the answer. My comment was mainly directed at all the diesel folks who just can't wait to weigh in on any thread that mentions MPG and brag...
That sounds great on the surface, but MPG is only part of the story. When you factor in the Eco-Diesel's basically $10,000 higher price tag over a Pentastar, the significantly more expensive fuel cost, the more expensive/frequent maintenance, running a diesel is more expensive than running a...
Needed a midsize pickup... got the Jeep I've always wanted to boot! What's not to love?!? I got a great deal on my Sport S as it had been a "manager's personal demo" and had just under 4k miles on it when I bought it - so any initial quality issues it may have had had been worked out before I...
But that's exactly how they work... if ANY iOS device comes within range of that Airtag, that device is unknowingly used to send that Airtag's location to the owner. It's also possible to physically disassemble an Airtag to disable the speaker in it to make it harder for the thief to locate...
Dude, that sucks so hard... I'm sorry.
Back in the late 90's I had an '87 Mustang LX 5.0 5-speed convertible. I left it unlocked all the time with nothing of value inside so that nobody would cut my top to get inside only to find nothing to steal. To (attempt to) prevent anyone from stealing...
It’s still a gamble though. Maybe you’ll get lucky and get one of the good ones that doesn’t nickel and dime you (if you even keep it beyond the standard warranty. Also, if you opt for an extended warranty with a $200 deductible, a lot of those nickel & dime repairs won’t be much more than that...
Thanks for all the replies so far... I figured it would be a mixed bag. I'm 57 years old and have owned lots of cars/trucks - both foreign and domestic - and have had good and bad experiences with both. I have always done my own maintenance and basic to intermediate difficulty repairs and have...
Great... maybe you should have before you said there hadn't even been any talk about bringing the Dakota back. Was just showing that there has. A LOT of it actually.
Yeah, but that's the thing... I'm thinking I'll have it paid off well before the standard 5/60 powertrain warranty expires... I ASSUME that will cover anything truly catastrophic. Just don't know if the MOPAR is better enough to be worth the cost. I understand that like any insurance, it's only...
Because mid-size trucks are having a resurgence now that full-size trucks have gotten so insanely large/expensive. I don't see the Dakota (or any other mid-size truck for that matter) competing directly with the JT. A Jeep is it's own thing... rugged 4x4 with solid axles, etc. Nobody else does...
Yes, there has... lots of it! Here are just a few recent articles:

I just bought a new '22 in October and have been contemplating buying a MOPAR extended warranty... but the standard warranty supposedly covers the thing "bumper-to-bumper" for 3 years/36k miles - and the powertrain for 5 years/60k miles, so I'm thinking that may be good enough. If I bought a...
I have an 80-mile round-trip to my office (though thankfully still working from home every other week). I’m averaging 21-22 MPG with my Sport S automatic - driving very carefully and keeping the speed down to no more than 5 mph over the limit - still on the stock wheels & street tires for now...
