You're right, I wasn't considering EVs. I was hoping for something more frequent - you may not have your tires changed even once a year, unless you're swapping winter and summer tires. Tire changes ought to trigger a headlight alignment anyway - change the tires and you might change the ride...

Very few if any states have any significant enforcement over headlights - and it doesn't matter what the law or regulation is if there's no enforcement for it. Buy the brightest LED bulbs you can find with the worst color temperature for blinding other drivers, mount them high on a jacked-up...

Ask your dealer. They won't be able to give you an exact date, but they should have an idea of how long it usually takes to get to them from Mexico. It depends where they are and how many stops are likely in between. Like an investment advisor, they'll probably have a variation of "past...

I've never looked all the way down at the shifter knob while I'm driving, so I can't say if it's both or just the dash indicator. But the dash indicator will swap the D between red and green, and I've never seen anything that says why. I'd make a joke about it being a Christmas celebration...

Are we sure it wasn't manufactured by Photoshop?

Generally speaking, I'm in favor of right to repair. However, as the article hinted at, many of the same software tools that would allow third party shops to diagnose and repair modern computerized vehicles are awesome tools for the people who want to hack those computerized vehicles. If you're...

In my case, Ford's date was incredibly wrong (overly optimistic) and my dealer's estimate was much closer. Your dealer is probably used to seeing how long it REALLY takes to get from Mexico to your location. How long that is can depend on a lot of different variables (not all trucks take the...

Never tried the Ford ACC, but had one in a rental once. I hate them. I want to set the cruise where I want it, and I'll turn it off or change lanes when I'm getting too close - I don't want a computer to guess at following distance for me. It often got me too close or too far behind someone in...

I've got a hybrid and the D indicator changes between red and green as I drive. Doesn't seem to be affected by whether the gas motor is running or not. I've never figured out what it meant.

*Are EVs truly the future, or do ICEs still hold strong advantages? Yes. Both are absolutely true. If you could wave a magic wand and make every ICE vehicle in the US transform instantly into an EV, transportation would grind to a halt and we'd have blackouts trying to manage the electricity...

The only part of mine that seems to get wet is the gap at the tailgate hinge. It also dries reasonably quickly when it's not being driven on wet roads, but can remain damp for a little while. I assume the bed is still dryer than it would be if the bedrug wasn't covering the gap and water was...

Yes, that's why you need power for your perpetual motion machine.

I bought decals on Etsy that I loved - I'm pretty sure if you contact the seller he could make anything custom you want. No kickbacks, but definitely a recommendation: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1291305595/bedside-graphic-stripe-by-ludesignsny?ref=yr_purchases

I don't care what someone else thinks about style, which also means I don't care about popularity (unless it's in reverse - I'd rather not be driving the exact same thing as half the other cars on the road). I care what *I* think about style, but I don't need any reviews to help with that...

Get on that. The owner's manual tells you how to get the stereo to display the master code to you. Keep that somewhere safe. Mine's in my phone, but also accessible on my smartwatch, so I can get to it if I'm locked out. The bad news is, you can't change/remove that master code, so the previous...

I've seen SO MANY "fog lights" that are aimed at oncoming drivers' eyes, rather than down at the road. I absolutely DESPISE fog lights, mostly for this reason. They're not just too high to be useful, they're too high to be SAFE for oncoming traffic. I'd be happier if people would just...

To each his own. I remember when lowered trucks were a huge thing in the area, and certain people had to drive several blocks out of their way to cross railroad tracks at a crossing that wouldn't scrape up their underside. That's not for me. The problem I have with raised trucks is when they...

Android Auto has had issues like this in the past - sometimes a particular upgrade introduces issues for particular phones. In those cases, the next update frequently fixes it (though not always). You could try uninstalling and reinstalling Android Auto on your phone. If that doesn't work, a...

It's very simple - and part of the reason why sites like this exist in the first place: people like confirmation that they made the right choice. For some people, that involves attacking choices that are different than the choices they made. It's easy to forget that what's a good choice for ME...

The hard rollup was best for ME, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's best for EVERYONE. I tend to use my truck bed as a large trunk more than I use it as a truck, frequently opening the tailgate and only touching things behind the 2x6 I put in the slot near the rear to help keep things from...
