We used to have a retired Ford engineer in the local Mustang club. He worked at Ford in Detroit for decades and really knew the car industry. About seven years ago he was telling me he expected someone to buy Chrysler for the Jeep and RAM brands and shoot the Dodge and Chrysler brands in the...

You know, I'm recalling when my local Jeep dealer opened several years ago, it had a small off road course. This course even had one of those tilt ramps. I thought it was cool, but it didn't last long. It's been gone for a long time. Maybe it was a liability issue?

Well there it is; in writing.

I hope you're right about that.

I still say there's no way the Wrangler or Gladiator will get the Hurricane engine. That engine is for the uber-expensive Wagoneers and full-size trucks. The 392 Wrangler is a limited production niche product for image. That's why they're so expensive. Jeep simply isn't going to make a lot of...

If it really does help to bring down gas prices, that's cool. The only reason I wouldn't run E15 in my JT is I might not want to visit the gas station any more than I do now. I have a 1970 Mustang. I won't be running E15 in that only because that car tends to have fuel issues when the weather...

Well, yeah, to make room for the massive blower he's bolting on.

Thanks. I will check back.

Colorado has that option. My license renewed last February when the DMV office was closed due to COVID. I had to renew online and there was no option for getting the Veteran logo.

All my local stores want a Veteran ID. My local VA hospital stopped issuing IDs the instant the Pandemic broke out, so I haven't been able to get one. Really don't want to carry around my DD-214.

It was the same situation with my local Jeep dealer. I could get the discount only if I ordered a Gladiator. They wouldn't budge on price for the truck I test drove in October, 2019. In the following December, I saw online that same truck was still on the lot. I emailed the fleet sales manager...

Many years ago I lived in Washington DC. The local news channel did a story about new cars and reported buyers in the Capitol region typically paid significantly more for their new vehicles than buyers further out in Virginia and Maryland. The news station did a survey and surprisingly found...

While it sounds cool to have a twin-turbo inline-6 under the hood of a Gladiator, I would be concerned about reliability. I've known a lot of people who drove ecoboost Ford pickups over the years. It seems half of those drivers loved their ecoboost and the other half cursed them for constantly...

Whether or not the engine fits, it's unlikely Jeeps will get the new, twin turbo engine. As Stelantis has said, that new engine replaces the V8 and not the V6. I haven't seen anything anywhere suggesting the 3.0 will be the new engine across all platforms.

Is the $200 the dealer price? Wondering if they're available cheaper elsewhere.

It think it will be a situation just like the theoretical Wrangler V8. Remember all the debates we had about that? I insisted it was easily doable, but Jeep just wasn't motivated to build a V8 Wrangler and all their excuses about cooling capacity were BS. Well, it wasn't until Ford announced a...

Wow, a dealer would charge you $385 to complete all those checks. And if they found you needed any fluids or filters, that would be extra; a LOT extra!

As I've mentioned in other threads, my Mustang club meets at the local Ford dealership. At a recent meeting, the General Manager told us he had over 1,000 orders for a Maverick and they stopped taking orders. It seems right now if you want a Maverick, you're out of luck. You can't even order...

I can remember the early 1970s when a new car was doing really well to provide 100,000 miles of reliable service. And those 100,000 miles involved numerous oil changes as well as many sets of points, spark plugs, rotors, distributor caps, plug wires, water pumps, fuel pumps, v-belts, coolant...

Well, the $6.20 share price actually does tell us a lot.
