Does it come with the crash test dummy shown here?

Somewhere in the fine print...

"Second steering wheel is optional. Crash test Dummy not included".

It will tow 10,000lbs about 100 miles before needing a full multi hour charge.

Dumb, unless you have a lot of Free time on your hands.

Physics is physics.

Assume pf ~= 1. So with 200A supposed service: P = VI = 44 KVA. So how is a 12.5 KVA transformer going to do that????

So why in the F is there 200A breaker in my panel? Isn't that false advertising? Some kind of a joke? If the transformer feeding my house is going trip at 12.5 then Amax is equal too P/V or 12500/200 = 62.5 A. I just don't get it....

That was a 2V 4.6. in the mid 2000’s with the 3 valve 5.4L, they were TERRIBLE. Even if you changed the oil every 2,500 miles the motor would be dead in 100K miles.

The plastic in the valve train oiling reservoirs cracks and leak down, so each start up, the cams/rockers would start with no oil and wouldn’t get oil pressure until the the cracked reservoir filled back with oil and you basically have to junk the entire motor and buy a new one for $6K.

I never Fing will. It’s diesel for me. Watch what happens when EMP is used. Battery is permanently burned up and fused.

We’ll know that EV are making progress when a few million households are all EV,


And there are rolling brown and black outs due to lack of electric power generation.

“Watch what happens when an EMP is used”

Good point, and I doubt it can withstand an RPG either. I’m going to stick with my MRAP.

I used to be a sales manager at a Ford dealership.

I still remember the sticker shock people had when even the invoice for base model F150 rose to 10K in the early eighties.

By today’s standards, 50K isn’t too bad at all for a decently equipped truck. Nuts, but that’s where we are.

And for those of us who get to enjoy the season called ‘winter’ there’s the heater.

There will be an aftermarket for propane heaters using a tank in the back :-)
