For that matter, in the conditions in which an automatic will creep, a manual will roll whichever way the hill slopes, and I'm not sure that's really a preferable condition. I have been known to apply the parking brake at a long light, but the brake hold function is preferable in that it leaves the ...

Our newsed MDX has a Brake Hold function that you can activate that, any time you're at a stop and heavy enough on the brakes, leaves the service brakes applied until you reach critical mass on the throttle. It's kind of a game having both systems active. I usually finish up a stop lightly enough on...

Prices are a reflection of demand. In a world where kids can get jobs as lot porters without knowing or being taught how to drive a manual, it will take a very special, very rare specimen to even have a chance of trading at a premium.

Ultimate smoothness comes from the throttle. The clutch can only mask imperfect throttle technique. Floating the disengagement isn't that hard. You just have to find the throttle position where the engine isn't putting any load through the drivetrain, and if there's resistance when you gently push t...

Are they not putting the CDV in those?

Aren't there still full service stations in New Jersey as a matter of policy? I've never seen one in Minnesota. Then again I'm only 31. unforgutnately yes but, as someone mentioned below, they are a pain in the rear and you end up waiting for them to come back and overfill your tank. the silver lin...

That 0-60 number is pretty pokey by most standards, but a wild improvement over the original drivetrain in most of them...

I would guess it's related to leading with the fuel and following with the throttle plate in order to keep the engine from going momentarily rich as the power demand lessens, and it could be tuned more appealingly but the CAD jockeys don't appreciate the importance. The newest Mustang I've driven is...

In 2020 for 2021 MY. The Mustang-inspired crossover is a different product.

Seems like there wouldn't be much difference between hail large enough to damage cars and hail large enough to damage PV cells...Plus there's not a lot of overhang there, so if the hail is wind-driven, about half the inventory is still going to get it.

The older the Durango gets, the more spry it becomes. https://s3-prod.autonews.com/s3fs-public/styles/width_792/public/4DURANGO-MAIN_i.jpg "Dodge likes to think of the Durango as a three-row Charger, and the brand has given the aging SUV a new lease on life in recent years by touting its performanc...

Yeah, it's over now. I didn't want to sock 50 grand at it...Mine's an '08. In horse and livestock circles, I've seen a disproportionate number of Rams, with a disproportionate number of those being Cummins/six-speed units. Maybe most of the sales are going to hotshot services who are having a tough ...

I never saw myself having a Mopar or an HD diesel but availability of manuals has pushed me there. Not a fan of the extra maintenance or complexity or the gross overkill for 99% of my driving, but it is what it is until something else catches my eye. Holding my breath the Bronco looks good, is reaso...

I'd expect there's some compromise in the TRD suspension that makes it less suitable as a stable towing/hauling platform. I could see softer shocks and roll bars being selected depending on what usage they're trying to optimize for.

Without AWD, you should only need to worry about diameter differences on the drive axle and that's only a significant concern if you have a limited slip differential.

If you're worried about it, get the new one shaved.
