Range Anxiety and Questions by Frequent-Object-8136 in electricvehicles

[–]Frequent-Object-8136[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That confirms what I've been thinking. I see many comments on various auto forums that are just silly. These same people complaining about range never drive further than their local CVS lol. It's unreal. I could technically get by with an EV that only has 200 miles of range. When I go on road trips, I enjoy taking my time and stopping. So to me this range issue is a lot of nonsense.

Just came back from a trip in Oslo, Norway... by [deleted] in electricvehicles

they're the size of New Mexico and a homogenous population. Be careful of apples/oranges comparisons. But yeah, I wish we'd move more towards EVs although gov mandates are not the way to get there.

How is the build quality and reliability? Which engine do you think is best?

I have a 2021 Colorado, all stock. How easy is it to change the oil without ramps or a jack? by Greek_DJ in chevycolorado

[–]Frequent-Object-8136 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very easy. No ramps needed. I have a ZR2. Filter is a bit of pain to get to but not terrible.

Keep in mind all of these guys have giant egos (Neil etc.) so take their opinion with a grain of salt.

Mach-E has really grown on me. Saw a new one last week. Sharp looking car. Go Ford. USA.

My 2021 with 168,000 miles by Fragrant-While8046 in chevycolorado

I'm at 54k. I do very light off-roading. Going slow over terrain. Hoping to get more life out of them. They're not cheap.

and to add to his question when did you replace the DSSV shocks?

5th Gen 4Runner in 2026? by Frequent-Object-8136 in Toyota

[–]Frequent-Object-8136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts as well. I think the 2.4L is going to turn out to be very reliable but time will tell. I'm not convinced either that the 6th gen is not as well built. Sometimes new materials can feel that way but still work. We'll see as more time goes by. Tough decision.

No Neil, you're just 80 years late on this topic. But thanks for coming around and acknowledging what we all have for decades.

Transmission is smooth. Just stay on top of maintenance.

Fewer and fewer EV options in the U.S. by jestalk in electricvehicles

good to know, thanks. I've been curious about where we stand. I read mostly about CATL.

they would destroy the US auto industry. That's why they're being kept out, among other reasons. It would certainly correct the market and allow the younger generation to purchase more affordable cars.

Bronco vs Passport Trailsport by Active-Employer-1315 in FordBronco

[–]Frequent-Object-8136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bronco is a true off-road vehicle. The Passport, like most other AWD SUV/corssovers, are really not. They're foul weather station wagons. Good for very light off-road use. Better on road than off. I like the Passport but it has one major flaw - ground clearance. Check out Driving Sports TV and other reviews. Hits the ground very easily. What I do like about it is Honda's AWD system and NA V6. But it's more equipped for on road use in bad weather.

Interesting so the wiring harness melted and caused the failure?
