Tried to pass f150 eco boost today

That's what I meant to say. Passenger diesel cars are doomed...yes, thanks to VW...

 

$2.30/gal? Jeebus. Id park my truck and ride a bike.

 

That's a fact. Even here in TX diesel is more on par with premium unleaded, cost-wise, and while I won't own anything but a diesel truck for towing, our '19 F350 averages around 18mpg, city and highway. While that's not bad for a 7,600lb truck that makes 450hp/935tq, our Tacoma with 4.88s and OVTune gets around the same.

 

I almost bought a f250 v8. After I sat it in and test drove it I was like jesus christ driving this thing daily seems awful.lol

you cant see shit even though you can

 

My new OR is getting 16.2 average on all stock and I drive it slow. It’s all city but should be higher.

 

They're HUGE trucks, but visibility has never been an issue for me, especially with BSM and the 360 camera system. The 350 is my daily--it's a little big for some of the more urban parts of Houston, but we always have the Tacoma for those situations.

 

oh the one I was test driving didnt have anything except a backup cam

 

Either I have a factory freak of a truck or I just dont understand what you guys are looking for when you say the 3.5 is underpowered. Ever since they updated the transmission programming, mine has seemed to have plenty of punch for whatever I asked of it.

 

Jeep is going plug in hybrid, or full electric or both. Can you imagine a plug in Jeep? I'm sure they will sell EV Wranglers, but the idea sounds silly to me.

 

the 3.5 seems fine to me and I came from a 5.7 hemi.
it was weaker but It seems fine.

 

I've never understood this either. But I did drive a service truck for work for several years that did 0-60 in 10 minutes. So I always just assumed my expectations are low

 

That wouldn't be bad, I already carry a generator while out camping. What's one more thing plugged into it?

Lol burning gas to charge muh electric jeep. Murica

 

Ive towed my dad's 01 Mustang GT on a heavy ass uhaul steel trailer. Without issue. I've towed my 20' bowrider ski boat. Without issue. I towed my 94 Camaro Z28 from Tulsa to Dallas on a trailer that was honestly too big for my truck, again without issue. I drive it daily and wheel it on the weekends. Ive literally never had a moment where I thought it NEEDED more power (everything could always use more power but thats a different conversation lol.).

 

Personally, I don't like EVs, especially since I work in the petroleum industry. But when it comes to serious crawling, the torque of electric motors would be great. Right now, though, the drawbacks are too numerous to make an electric Jeep Wrangler viable, IMO.

 

I would love that price.

We pay $4.50 a gallon... (1.50$ per liter)

 

Gonna keep getting more fun. Our Tacomas are already bigger than earlier Tundras lol. If the Tundra Hybrid ever happens I may end up moving up to that, and it's gonna be a boat I'm sure.

 

I can't remember the last time I payed over $2.00/gal for 87. We usually pay around $2.19-$2.25/gal for 93 in my wifes car.

 

Same here, never understood lack of power complaint. My truck is plenty fast.

 

Dont underestimate the mall crawler market, and every girl on the west coast driving a wrangler. An EV Wrangler would sell plenty in Cali
