    F-150 Lightning Epic tow test fail

    Oh yeah? Takes one to know one! It's too bad the rest of your reply is just as pointless as your childish insult. As @Dewey correctly pointed out, we're talking about EV trucks and towing not ALL EVs. I'd be happy to discuss the broader topic on whatever EV loving forum you belong to, but no...

    F-150 Lightning Epic tow test fail

    Imagine if only some fuel pumps could fill your vehicle in less than 5 minutes and most took hours!

    Sirius XM Renewal

    Use a virtual credit card number (aka one-time use). Most card issuers offer this.

    5.7 OEM vs GT Exhaust Comparison

    Installed factory GT exhaust today. Put together a quick video to compare. GT has perfect manners. Great cold start volume and tone. Nice bark when accelerating. Relaxed when cruising with ZERO drone. I expect the tone will improve with some miles. Install took about 2 hours. Lowered spare...

    Bed-Box Sizes

    Translating OP's rant: Unless you drive an older full-size truck (to get that critical deeper box wall depth) with supplemental backup lights (to see when reversing) and that has a bed of no less than 6 feet 4 inches , you don't drive a "true" pick-up truck. Also, apparently lower box wall...

    This may be too obvious, but did you check the manual like it says to?

    Lets See Your BackCountry Trim Trucks!!

    That's pretty much how I found my Hydro Blue Crew Backcountry, and similar distance to drive each way.

    FCA used "Bait & Switch" on new vehicle rebate!

    Based on the additional information provided by the OP it appears something doesn't add up. The "fine print" for the offer says - Certificate is non negotiable and not redeemable for cash - an informed buyer should have immediately recognized the red flag when told "he (the finance rep) would...

    Delmonico Red Quad Cab was what I originally ordered. Looks good.

    Best Dash Cam

    Vortex Radar put up a follow up video to Linus Tech Tips dash cam video. One of my favorite takeaways confirms what LTT said - video quality is all pretty much the same and if you don't need the cloud capability of the Blackvue, buy something else (aka a Viofo which is Vortex's top recommended...

    Best Dash Cam

    Based on what Linus Tech Tips review said, Thinkware F70 for a budget buyer and Viofo A119 V3 for everyone else. Thanks for validating what LTT said, you can't beat a Viofo.

    Best Dash Cam

    Two weeks ago Linus Tech Tips - a very respected reviewer of consumer technology - posted on their YouTube channel about the poor video quality of dash cams in general, including the premium brands that are virtually no better than sub-$100. It's worth a watch. Makes me glad I didn't spend much...

    FCA used "Bait & Switch" on new vehicle rebate!

    Agree on the "select Ram branded vehicles" disclaimer and where does it say it's stackable? Select could mean limited to certain models (1500 or 2500) or trim levels, vehicles that have been on the dealer's lot the longest, or certain engines, etc. It sounds to me like the dealer went to the...
