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.

The optimum strategy depends somewhat on who will be driving the vehicle. You're less likely to get stuck and will tend to even out the tire wear over time if you put the good tires on the front, but there are a lot of people who drive FWD vehicles for their presumably more benign handling character...

There's no reason a DSG couldn't be made to launch smoothly. Full manuals can, of course. There just has to be the want-to.

Funny you mention the GM 8-speed as good. There's actually a class action on it now. There are a couple of human-factors reasons most manuals don't do as well on the highway. One is that adding gears to a CVT or automatic is pretty straightforward (though technically difficult with the packaging, we...

In large measure, the price, efficiency, and performance penalties have been reduced, eliminated, or even reversed with the multispeed automatics, SMGs, and CVTs. With a proliferation of flappy paddles and +/- buttons, you can have almost full control over gear selection in most models/trim levels. ...

can you please explain this to me? you are implying you are potentially gaining money, when it sounds like knot? i don';t get it. the one time i totalled a car, i didn't bother buying it back. Sounds like it was well-bought in order for the difference between total loss payment and salvage value to...
