If I could afford a 100 grand pickup I would have no worries about anything. Note that resale only matters to people buying new again, if you keep the truck it doesn't matter at all. If I bought a Ram, I'd have so few brain cells it wouldn't matter.

Great big NO on warranty coverage. Wait until it's actually a problem before worrying about it.

There is virtually no difference in the power used by the truck to add electric assist to you and the steering wheel and the car turning itself. It's a decimal point of power usage. The gas mileage thing hasn't been true for decades.

Certainly it seems to be true there's a label that says that. I kid, I kid! It's probbly telling you that you'll melt something that ought not be melted if you let it heat up like that.

EE needs to RTFM and learn what the hill descent control switch does. And one more thing to correct the guy who calls himself an engineer all the time, you can't compare turbo and non-turbo compression ratios, the Turbo's effective CR is likely about 18. Yes I have an engineering degree, but I...

too many extra parts. The parts of ICEs have been figured out over the past hundred years. Hybrids just have more and newer parts. Extra cooling system, etc.

Jere's the straight skinny: Hybrid: Costs a bit more, excellent mileage, good power, guaranteed to be less reliable. EB: A bit faster, still better mileager than a bigger truck, cheaper.

The reason you will get varying info on WDHs on the internet is because everyone with a hitch has an opinion, and being informed isn't a requirement for having one. Also, unibody trucks aren't very common, so the sample size is small. The WDH would not mount to the frame (because you don't have...

I would just point out that there are reinforcements behind the panel for the installed attachment points which will not exist in the wall between the bed and the interior. That forward bulkhead would just be attaching to sheet metal, so you would need to add some type of structure in the cab...

Who thinks a Toyota wouldn't be significantly more expensive? Left out of early Mav prices is how out of whack used prices were. When I got my 23, the equivalent Frontier for 26 grand was a dated design with 70k miles. I paid MSRP plus doc fees.

definitely don't change a part twice.

I wonder if it's even possible to build a unibody truck with a 6 ft bed.

I don't doubt that 2 door trucks would increase the market a bit, but the costs for such a model plus the inevitable 4 door that they need for volume is too much. A vehicle with a fifth the volume of the Mav (I'm being generous) won't meet the fixed cost thresholds. I'm sure Ford did market...

Go drive it, stop worrying about changing the oil, and pickups don't have to have bed covers or protectors.

You'll just get stuck farther away.

I'm genuinely curious why people upgrade turn signals.

Everyone knows Dodges are A#1 for running from the cops

It's the trailer, you don't get to subtract the size of the truck.

CLT is for samples, not for the population

You will find nothing about WDHs for Mavericks, which do not have a body on frame like an F-150.
