Cheers to future electric car gardens everywhere unless the consumers know what the new shelf life with the electric cars will be.
Think they are ready?

Hah. Consumers don't keep cars anywhere near 10 years anymore!

The internet got that picture off me!

I've always said it would be cool to have a diesel electric power train in a car like a locomotive, though the greenies might not like the plume of black smoke rolling from my "electric" car, lol.

Im sure battery will be the future, but I don’t ever see this guy buying a battery truck.
Diesel power, with the DPF/SCR technology burns and cleans pretty darn good. You can eat off of the inside on my trucks exhaust pipe.

Hey and After a Particulate Filter regeneration cycle the exhaust pipe will be hot enough to make a killer grilled cheese. Bonus!

How do you like the 2020 engine and transmission? I’ve been thinking of trading my 17 F350 in on a new one but I haven’t driven one yet.

I can bore you with positives. The best thing to do is take one for a test drive and compare for yourself.
1,050# @ 1,600 RPM. 20+ MPG with 3:31 gears.
Drive one with Adaptive Steering.

Nice T....that's awesome! I think I'm now gonna coin you SnoopT while you're driving that bad boy.

All that bad boy needs now is a big ass spoiler on the bed cover for all the down force!

How many of you are going to look at the 84 month 0% interest deals the big 3 are offering right now. Some are allowing you to defer payments 3-6 months OR take the 0%, but if this stuff keeps up I bet it will be both.

Yes we will have to see what happens. The bad is they don't allow rebates with it. So the rebates are larger than the interest. I looked at a new Durango yesterday but no financing on it and no good rebate so I didn't make the move. I was hoping for lower rate and no payment now because I'm not working. Suburbans were way to far out of my price range. So crossed those out as well. So I'll stick with what I got. So the waiting game will continue. We aren't even seeing vehicles now so I might have to drive to Cali to visit Matt when they offer something better
