    I loved the AT4X package on this truck, but I honestly see no reason to spend the money for the AEV. It seems like it is just a badge package much like the Harley Davidson of Ford trucks or GMC trucks that is all badging for an expensive cost without any real benefit. 

    I am sure some will love this AEV much like some seem addicted to Harley Davidson badging on everything. I just do not get it nor see any value in it.

    • Hmm....I was talking about Lauren Sanchez... they just got married last year.  Had been Bezo's girlfriend since 2018.  He divorced his first wife in 2019.
    • USC grad and I believe a SoCal upbringing.  USC was once not that hard to get into.  I'm not commenting on her intellectual abilities (she's not a rocket scientist, that's for sure), just the statistics.  Admission percentages for freshmen at the best public universities in America have dropped like a lead balloon.  I don't know if I'd want to go to a school where Mossimo* and Lori Loughlin* had to swindle the system to get their daughters in.  It's also in a somewhat dangerous neighborhood. What it does is beg the question as to who and what she is thinking about when she's got her thighs wrapped around his waist.  I'm just calling a spade a spade.   * I just did a wiki on them. They got divorced last year.
    • She looks like a fake plastic surgery disaster bimbo...no substance there. Just a wannabe Kardashian...
    • What I was really going to say: Just based on what is being fed to me on my phone and the photos they pose for, it doesn't look like Jeff Bezos is too happy with this trophy wife he bagged.  Once you study her more, it looks like most of her existence is about being a poseur.  I'm not so sure I like her.
    • $45k for an appliance FWD CUV w/ a 4cyl in white w/ a gray interior is pretty depressing to imagine.   My Jeep was in that price range 12 years ago, much nicer design inside and out and well equipped w/ a V6 and AWD...and with inflation, the equivalent spec to that on a 2025 is about $53k..same engine and transmission, AWD, same color scheme, trim level and options.  My sister's '23 Chevy Equinox LT was $34k out the door new at the end of 2022.  She got $15k in trade on her 2015 Trax and paid cash for the difference.
