As of April, BYD had models that charged 10-70% in 5 minutes. But that is China and was so long ago. Many Chinese models now do it. For August, FAW Hongqi claims it in 3:41… and to 97% in 8 minutes (but they are slow to market). Let’s see who leads in September:bow: I’m betting on Geely with...

The 5mpg difference is due to less weight from the “extras” and more narrow tires (FWD comparison). Yes, thin shade.

Saveiro or Amarok look like AI? The big one has been for sale since 2010 (wasn’t a Ford until 2018) and the little one has been around “forever”! Vw has not done well in the US. Amarok is a “no” from Ford in the states by agreement. The Saveiro (at least the ones from Brazil) will not meet USA...

That will be a costly purchase and you will lose 5 MPG, but it’s nice. Over $36k and the Florida heater glass roof is “fixed”, not a sunroof. Bigger screen is also an option even on the Nightshade. That’s a very unique yellow… I like it!

We keep a 2011 at my brothers house in FL. The ugliness that won’t die. New ones look much better. I don’t think you care about 4WD which eliminates half. The LE gets the best mileage by a notable amount… but you would need to drive it and see what option you would miss and if it’s too “cheap”...

New or used? Big difference in recent years.

So get a standard cabin. Seen enough on MTC asking about getting a 2-door Maverick so the bed would be longer.

When I was shopping and decided to ship a Maverick to my location, the Amarok was on my short list. And since Diesels weren’t my thing, I could order with the Raptor 3.0 petrol engine. That would be a “Ford” engine. I also liked the simpler interior which felt more refined than the Ranger.

The VW Saveiro sells well “everywhere else” and comes as 2-door and extended 2-door.

….. Great in the snow but bundle up inside! Also choice: Do you want a spare tire or sacrifice the air to wash the front window? Fun times!

I recently watched a classic car show where the host asked why the person stuck with the 6v system because 12v uses smaller gage wires saving weight. So 48v can have much thinner wiring. Cheaper, thinner, lighter, and cheaper (yes, I said cheaper twice).

I found I can get another gallon if I take one click then wait 10 seconds before running again on a fast-flowing pump. Single click seems fine on a slow pump.

I have three girls all in their mid-40’s now and (due to twins) a total of 15 months between them. Pretty much raised them in parallel. Yet they are totally different from each other. It’s like young people develop their own personalities sometimes.

What I remember was that former Governor Christine Todd Whitman put the self-pump ban in effect for two major reasons. 1. she included a “removal” of state tax because… 2. All stations had to hire income tax paying employees. sounded like a good idea, and pumped NJ gas was much cheaper than...

Filled tank before returning a rental car last week and had to swing around the parking lot to pump gas again. Sometimes it kicks off early and in the case of a rental, it’s a costly error. I constantly rent for travel and found it’s not usually the pump… but the model of vehicle that causes...

Just watched a commercial in the UK for the Toyota HRVe and it had me wondering if they tried this in the USA maybe some people would think more strongly about it. C’mon North America… if you dare!

…because you leaned to drive unlike this person. They probably only returned to the ramp after running out of beer.

Maybe they can revert back to the older front end…🤮 Remember when the RAV4 was a tiny and Reliable little runabout?

Thanks for your informative and honest reply. I have a MY24 XLT Hybrid which may have slightly less interface and has behaved well for me. In my lifetime I don’t even want to add up how much money vehicles have drained from my bank account. Not just the vehicle, but everything that keeps them...

Unhappy sold? Moving on sold? Fun new ride sold? Change of need sold? (Just curious).
