    2019 F-150 Pricing

    I was out the door for a little over $10.5k below sticker on my 2019 F-150 back in January before COVID-19. I was very particular about options and colors so that wasn't even a screaming deal. I would think by now any leftover 2019's should be going for $15k off sticker new.

    Jeep grand or regular cherokee

    In my opinion the Grand Cherokee is one of the best looking SUVs and the Cherokee is one of the worst. Based on that alone I would be leaning towards the Grand Cherokee.

    Toyota Tacoma losing resale value

    In my opinion the third gen Tacoma ruins the great reputation they had. The first and second gen were great honest little trucks. I bought a 2016 Tacoma TRD Offroad and owned it for only a year. The combination of the 6 speed and the 3.5L makes for a miserable experience. As others have...

    Brand loyalty

    I'm not brand loyal but I do prefer to buy cars that were made in the USA. We currently have a Ford (made in Michigan) and a Toyota (made in Indiana).

    2017 Mazda CX-5 Touring

    I haven't really heard anything bad about Mazda vehicles lately. However, I have heard quite a few complaints about Mazda dealerships. I haven't visited my local Mazda dealer in a long time, but you might want to make sure you like the local dealer before you commit.

    $200K of German Engineering baby!

    The Taycan is a sharp looking car, but if I have $200k to drop at a Porsche dealer, I'm leaving with a 911 Turbo.

    Who is buying vehicles?

    My parents just bought a new Acura RDX. Compared to before the pandemic, I don't think the price came down very much but the dealer was certainly a lot more accommodating during the buying process. The dealer negotiated over the phone, drove it 80 miles to their house for them to test drive, and...

    Pedal Commander

    I had one on my 2017 GMC Sierra. The first half of the gas pedal travel was dead and the second half was pretty touchy. For some reason it seems like GM just programmed the gas pedal to work in an exponential fashion rather than linearly. In that case, the pedal commander really helped to smooth...

    I hate new car driver aids

    Unfortunately, radar detectors are illegal in VA and DC. In fact, they're only illegal in VA and DC.

    I hate new car driver aids

    My truck has all of the active safety features Ford offers. I don't care about 90% of them but it's the only way I could get adaptive cruise control. Adaptive cruise control makes long highway drives so relaxing that I'll never buy another car without it.

    Newer Car Shopping List

    I'm not sure about the hybrid, but the 2.5L Fusion is very reliable. I would go with the Fusion first and the S80 as a second choice.
