Drag? Maybe. Keeping air from under the vehicle is a good thing. Cooling? Definitely not, you aren't somehow forcing more air into the grill, and if you were it would hurt your drag.
Don't know if you're grumpy, but you're definitely Howard-Hughesian in your fear of A/C germs. No one except you does this, we're all fine. Do you do it in your house?
And while we're at it, nobody is getting out of a ticket because they discribed your car incorrectly. Now, seeing the judge and saying "really?" might work.
click bait video is clickbaity. It is almost certain your maintenacne costs will be more over 10 years, but batteries isn't it, that was a concern 10 years ago, they've figured out how to make batteries last, mostly by not charging and discharging them fully. There are more things to go wrong...
You should find significantly better mileage around town, especially if you take it easy. Mileage on the highway will be about the same, you can't beat wind friction. Hybrid ought to help your brakes as well. Just don't buy a hybrid believing you'll have fewer reliability problems, hybrids...

There's nothing stopping you from towing a n 80,000 lb semi with your truck other than tearing it up. And the liability of overload when you hit a busload of kids.
Pretty sureyou get different suspension components with 4k.
My take here is if you want to automate, get something to run the scissor jack & tire cable with. Lug nuts were easy, jacking the truck up and down & getting the tire down was not.
First time you've had to deal with a railroad I see. This is rather typical behavior I'm afraid. Every business that relies on rail shipments has a rail expeditor who keeps up with missing rail cars.
I do not believe that an air intake improves your fuel economy. It doesn't make sense. The largest loss in the intake system is the throttle, so getting rid of intake flow head losses upstream of the throttle won't do anything. You MIGHT get wide open throttle improvements if you can get more...
These are not the things that fail and make the car undriveable like ABS units or computers that eventually become unobtainable. Things like that are why you can buy an old V-12 supercar for 8 grand, it will become essnetially undriveable the next major thing that fails. Screens will be in...
