Cars We Drive!

[otc]

Pickup trucks have gotten bigger, higher-tech — and more dangerous

And I'll bet you good money that most of those people claiming frequent/occasional "personal hauling" are talking about bags of dog food and toilet paper from costco (or four 2x4s from Home Depot which hang out the back of their shorty bed even though I can actually fit them in my GTI and close the hatch with some creativity).

I love this pic of the trucks lined up at the cab/bed junction:

(I assume it is based on the most popular model/trim since you can obviously still buy a 2-door full bed f150)

The 2019 F150 I just bought has a crew cab (seats five comfortably) and a 5.5ft bed. It's actually a really useful size for me.

My uncle was complaining about bed/cab size at Thanksgiving and that picture is helpful. Somehow he has a 90s F250 in Ohio that hasn't rusted through.

Oh lord.

I am drafting up a demand letter for Diminished Value on my wife's car now that we're finally done with the body shop.

As part of that, I pulled quotes from various places like Carvana with and without damage disclosed. The last one I did was the KBB instant cash offer.

Now my phone and email are absolutely blowing up with dealers trying to buy the car (to be fair, that's KBB's job here).

Where is the option for “flying a huge American flag from the truck bed”?

What does the StyFo panel think of the new Bronco? Four door, Wildtrack in particular.

My brother got the Raptor version yesterday, and he got it at MSRP. The company he works for buys lots of vehicles, so the dealer wanted to keep him happy. He said he loves it so far and plans to do some serious off roading with it (which he's done with previous vehicles). I haven't ridden in it yet, but it looks cool in person (better than the pictures) and the interior is surprisingly nice.

Friendly reminder, you have the right to choose any body shop to repair your vehicle. (Preferably one that is not color blind and can blend a panel.)

Yeah, it’s got a Hemi…

If the market value is $250k, why are they charging 2x the market value?

So your wife spent $538,910 on a Porsche for you?

So your wife spent $538,910 on a Porsche for you?

Or she traded him for the dealer markup?

Obviously markup wasn't high enough. Going viral on the internet got it sold in a day.
