    Seats not folding flat is pretty ridiculous to me.. and I tried to look up pictures of the current or older gen and it looks like they used to have the 3rd row fold flat but not the captain chairs, which would be okay with me. Hopefully, the 3rd row will fold flat in this next gen as well because not folding flat seems like a decent negative, personally. When looking up if the current Expy folded flat I figured I'd look up the Suburban as well. They appear about the same as the Expy with the 3rd row folding flat and it can be removed as well(suburban - not sure about the Expy). Maybe I'm wrong.. but here's a quote from Edmunds, "Another downside to the third-row seat is that it has to be removed entirely in order to make full use of the cavernous cargo hold. You don't have to worry about this herculean task in the Expedition EL or Toyota Sequoia, which feature fold-flat third rows. Yet when all the Suburban's seats are removed, however, the resulting 137 cubic feet of maximum cargo space is greater than both those rivals." -- Edmunds (2013)

    It could be anything from sound deadening, weight of components throughout the vehicle, to the body panels. Isn't there already some aluminum implemented in the GMs? I know their trucks already use some. Some of that weight could be beneficial, some of it could be lack of technological advances.. It's so tough to really compare and say one vehicle is heavier and one is lighter and better when there are millions of variables that factor into the overall weight. One might make a stronger, heavier differential and transfer case while the other added additional sound deadening.

    I'd assume they will have the 10spd within a year.. I can't see that being something that take multiple years to implement unless it's a contract thing with Ford and vise versa for the 9spd.

    IRS vs Solid rear axle alone has to be a hundred pounds plus the features the Expedition has that the Tahoe/Suburban don't have.. @FordCosworth you posted info on this, didn't you? Where was that at?

    I, too, am a monochromatic type of person. I dislike most chrome.

    That's what I was thinking as well. But I guess if they would keep it at 60k and it would basically undercut the Tahoe/Expy with that performance that's a huge win.
  7. ccap41
    50k? The SRT Grand Cherokee starts at 67k. It would be great to start at 50k but that just sounds way too low.
  8. ccap41
    That is DAMN QUICK!
  9. ccap41
    It looks like it is actually impossible to see out of the rear with where things are placed with that conversion.
  10. ccap41
    What do you mean I don't have the "foggiest" of what you're referring to? You're talking about cosworth's downvotes and one-liners. You even said so...
  11. ccap41
    How far out is it? Is it a 2018 or 2019?
  12. ccap41
    I'm not the one who can't stay away from Cosworth..lol No comment on the 'coward-ness'?

    Okay because I'm working on a new house situation I know I'll likely need a bed on a large number of occasions so asking to borrow my dad's Tacoma is annoying and kind of rude.. so I'll still want a truck and of the older generations I'm way more of a Chevy truck fan than the rounded F150 body style so I'll get this little work-like truck out of the way. Oh, it'll also serve as the..."it's $h!ty snowy outside so keep all of the other girls tucked away in the garage" vehicle. 11k 2004 Silverado, 4x4, extended cab, 5.3 V8. 59,000 miles. (Blue Silverado) or 12k Silverado 4x$, extended cab, 5.3 V8, 64,000 miles but Z71. (Red Silverado) 48k Aston Vantage V8, 6spd(!), 20k miles (V8 Vantage) 20k 2004 Cobra, 57,500 miles (2004 Cobra) 21k C5 Z06 6spd, 33k miles (C5 Z06) Shucks.. left with 7k.. Not much out there for $7,000. 7k 2006 Miata 6spd, Bunch of miles..94k (2006 Miata)
  14. ccap41
    Shooooot in addition! Well that F150 will likely be coming off of that list.

    So if he had sent an actual message via the internet that would make him a man? Or calling somebody names on the internet makes somebody a man? Just trying to figure out this internet "coward"-ness. I'd love to see you two meet in person. Guarantee with your love for each other you'd end up kissing in the back seat of an Uber on your way to one of each other's hotel rooms, if it wasn't the same room to begin with.

    35k 2016 F150 Lariat, 4X4, SCrew Cab, 25k miles, 5.0 V8 Autotrader 2016 F150 Lariat 33k C6 Z06, 6spd, they seem to be in the 40-50k mile range at this price. Autotrader 2006 C6 Z06 30k Boss 302, 6spd, This is the only color combination that I genuinely like. Autotrader 2013 Boss 302 $9,000 remaining... 9k mk6 GTI, DSG trans, most likely something will break shortly because it's so cheap and looks too good to be true Autotrader mk6 GTI -------------------------------------------------- I'm really not all that confident in this list as I feel like I should be getting more car for 107k.. I may have to come back to this.

    Done: "the action of carrying something on over a period of time or the process of being carried on."
  18. ccap41
    Okay, cool. Thanks for the clarification. I might as well ask something else.. 4 wheels road-worthy vehicles only? No motorcycles/ATVs? I always seem to have quesitons with these, lol.
  19. ccap41
    Anything goes.. That will make this tough. I suspect an 03-04 Cobra will be one but I'll have to think about how to place the remaining 84k. Is this two separate ones? 107 and 53? or is it 107k for cars and 53k for anything(could be more cars)?
  20. ccap41
    Not functional enough to be cool to me. That's what makes the CTS-V and E63 wagons cool, they're purposeful and badass.
  21. ccap41
    Nice F150 disguised tail lights...
  22. ccap41
    Nah, the ED and Hemi aren't "overmatched" at all otherwise their tow rating likely wouldn't be competitive but I do agree that anything other than a single cab short or long bed(for any of the D3) is likely going to be too underpowered. I know they can make the actual numbers just fine. I mean the 245hp/275tq in the Escape/Fusion is an acceptable number because old Silverados(2010 for example) were only 195hp/260tq and a 2010 V6 F150 was (I'm not finding a base V6.. only a 2V 4.6?) was 248hp/294tq. 2008 has a base V6 F150 and it was only 202hp/260tq. Ram was 210hp/235tq.
  23. ccap41
    Looks like we will see how Ram does EcoBoost.

    First, it was sarcasm/joking but I really did help them out. I just saw a guy trying(unsuccessfully) to push a car out of the road so I stopped and helped. It wasn't until we had the car parked at a gas pump did I realize they were junkies because of the look/face on the female driver. Second, hard drugs are a growing serious problem but I wasn't going that route with that post AT ALL. It was just an observation of the situation.
  25. ccap41
    LOL touché... Honestly, I always thought it was spelled out "ecstasy" I had no clue it originated from XTC. Learning new things erryday.
