When you link your phone to your infotainment system in your vehicle, that data could and many times will be uploaded to companies the automaker works with. They track your vehicle, how you drive it and also your contacts, phone calls and messages. Most people don't know it but your infotainment system has a SIM card in it. If you want make it harder to be tracked by car companies it's a good idea to remove these SIM cards and disable your satellite antenna.

Just a few years ago I felt like my salary put me at the high end of medium income. Now with vehicles, home, grocery etc pricing I feel I’m at the poverty line. I used to be mad when I see people stealing groceries at the self check out, now I think I’m actually jealous.

US inflation has been running hot since 1998 under the Greenspan put that caused the Dot-com bubble, than the housing Bubble & now the everything bubble. I was building a house from 2017 to 2020, and I can tell you prices for everything when up. Lumber, plywood, fastners, siding, roofing. It all went up. 2x4 when from about $1.60 in 2016 to about $4.50 in 2020. Was about $3 for 2x4 in 2018. "Economy grew more than it did under Reagan" You mean inflated more than under Reagan. The reason why the US economy was slow under Reagan was because of the Volker interest rate high, peaking at the end of 1981 at 19%.

You flipped it on the Tesla info. Some Ford dealerships are so greedy that they straight up say they will not give you the point-of-sale EV rebate due to the wait for them to retrieve the 7500$. Tesla, on the other hand, will do it immediately the moment you order one.

How can Tundra be selling so well with the massive problems and recall on the V-6 engine? How do you actually know they sold all those Tundra's just because they are not there? Maybe they off-loaded many of them to other dealers.

I thought Toyota issued a stop sales order on Tundras a few weeks ago. They probably have those hidden in a back lot someplace until the engine issues get figured out.

I know there are 26 on the lot near my house. I drive past it everyday, and they don't seem like they are moving at all. A lot of Tacoma too. It looks overpacked and too crowded.

The tundra is indeed one ugly truck. Seems to me that five or six design artists/engineers couldn’t agree on who who’s body style looked best during the design phase. So they put a little of everyone’s style Into it. Ha ha. Some serious folds and creases and loops on that truck.

[@e4300]

Real info for you here. Sales numbers being down 8% does not mean that the consumer sales are down, It ACTUALLY means that sales to the dealership is down 8%.. The truck is sold to the Dealer, that's where the sales number comes from. Once the truck is sold from FORD to the Dealer, that counts as a sale. Now the Dealer has them stacked up and they can't sell them at the big prices.

I’ve seen more of those ecoboosts fail from 2010-2023 than any other vehicle from people I know. I’ve seen them fail in pretty much all sizes in the Focus, Escapes, F-150s, and Tauruses. 3,4, and 6 cylinders all have issues. Blown turbo, blown head gaskets, wet timing belts shredding and blocking the oil sump. The list goes on and on. It’s getting to the point I’ll take a Dodge over an ecoboost. Only good thing Ford has left right now is that 5.0L but even that has a belt driven oil pump now. 🙄 The bean counters are ruining these companies. Cheap parts, rushed design, and to top it off high MSRPs and jackhole dealers. We can complain about the unions all we want but at the end of the day that’s a very small part of the problem. Scummy finance departments/salesman, an intense focus on quarterly stock price with ZERO focus on the future is ruining these companies. It’s been an issue for decades and we’ll probably bail these dumbasses out again just like the previous times.

[@egriff11]

These need to get down to 35k for STX and 40s for the XLT and Lariats. I do not want a turbo 4 banger or 6 cylinder. I want a V8. 100k and they are done.

Nope… 35 is the max a nice XLT should be. The lowest model should be at 25k.

That's why I bought the 2024 Nissan Titan over the 2024 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it cause I wanted 400 HP V8 (just like the F150 with the Coyote has) but with no cylinder deactivation and no Auto stop start crap, of course I don't want these stupid twin turbos that you see on these EcoBoost engines as well.
