Drag caused by wind resistance follows a square law all the way up until the sound barrier, so going 60 is going to take 4X as much energy as going 30 no matter how aerodynamic the vehicle is. The only reason why this phenomenon isn't as noticeable in ICE vehicles at highway speed is because...

You might even be ahead of the game overall by swapping out the entire truck! I am seeing people getting silly money for their trades or selling private party or to one of the crazy new car buying apps. Combine that with the advice here on buying new from an honest dealer and it is quite...

I think that we might need a dedicated tow mirror forum! :D https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/any-regrets-getting-tow-mirrors.7660/ https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/deciding-which-mirrors-to-order.6447/ https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/tow-mirror-options.2247/...

Who knows though, you might have to put them in the front! :P

I wish there was an in between size, the standard mirrors are preposterously small but the tow mirrors are a bit too big for my taste.

Exactly, never forget that there were those who paid huge ADMs to own 1990 Miatas in 1989. PT Cruisers in 2000 and so many other HOT vehicles that were soon available for anyone who wanted one at a discount.

I wouldn't be surprised if the price for the Pro increased. Inflation is a bitch! The Canadian AZ Iced Tea cans have gone up in price, the US cans can't be far behind.

The new four wheel steering systems are impressive and can be seamlessly integrated into the driving experience because of powerful newer vehicle dynamics computers. It's not a gimmick anymore and can reduce the vehicles turning circle by several feet and also help agility at highway speed if...

When driving in or through a cold area, always have some warm clothes with you in addition to the normal emergency gear. Even if you never plan on getting out of the vehicle. It sucks but if you are low on electricity and the highway is closed, there's a real possibility that you might have to...

It's the entire catalytic converters being stolen from Priuses, if the O2 sensors are stolen, it's incidental to the cat theft: At first it was for the Platinum Group metals that they use in the Prius, which is more than the average car. Later on the thefts started feeding themselves because...

Here are some batteries for it.

Exactly, nobody wants advertising guys designing cars, let alone building them. Unless one really thinks that the Edsel and Pacer were great ideas. The way technology is going, they almost could have delegated the Lightning Strike Anywhere™ experience to a group of high school students. That...

Regular cab configuration with the transmission hump eliminated so that the center passenger has actual leg room. A budget model with RWD only would be ideal for parts delivery and service trucks.

Believe it or not, there's people driving around who haven't even heard of the Lightning. Back in the day, unless you had a subscription to a few of the automotive mags, you were pretty much in the dark until new cars reached the showrooms or hit the roads. I remember there was a really good...

From the solid state battery thread in June: Looks like Ford had some people who were twiddling their thumbs and had the time. It's too bad that management couldn't shuffle these guys and others around to create an emergency in-house fiberglass factory and avoid the damage to Bronco...

Forget forklift damage, what do the rear axles/differential covers look like? :p pumpkin diff picture from cherokeeforum.com

There's a tutorial on another F150 forum for the previous gen. I believe using Superduty parts. Hopefully soon the information for the 2021+ trucks will be available as well as part numbers and wiring harnesses.

He might be referring to the extreme half shaft angles, seeing as how the suspension is nearly at full extension because of the unladen frame.

You mean just like these transaxles? Manufacturers not calling transmissions transmissions is an unnecessary gimmick to both try and explain why EVs are more efficient and present themselves as disruptors. I really can't blame them not wanting to explain thermodynamics to idiots but it...

Before you start clutching your pearls because I referenced Insane Clown Posse and attached a hilarious photoshopped picture of the guy from Blues Clues giving the middle finger. I would like to make a few things clear: • I am aware of the limitations on current self-driving cars, many problems...
