  1. Found this page for the '18 Durango Special Service fleet model... https://www.fcausfleet.com/dodge/durango-ssv.html On the page for the Charger Pursuit, I saw a 12.1 inch version of the UConnect screen available, didn't realize it was on anything thing yet but the '19 Ram..neat. https://www.fcausfleet.com/dodge/charger-pursuit.html
  2. Not sure, Ohio's plates are white w red at the top, while New York's are yellow w blue.
  3. I arrived home in Ohio at like 1am on a Tuesday morning after leaving Az at 7pm on Saturday night. After getting the dogs in the house and unloading a little bit, I passed out...slept until noon on Wednesday. Ordered a pizza for lunch, went back to sleep. Really wasn't functional until Thursday that week...almost a year ago. 2017 was a crazy year for me with the move and everything related to it.
  4. Yeah, that was a one time only trip..had to get 6 dogs from Phoenix to Cleveland. Any future road trips I take will be 7-8 hrs per day at most--spend the night in hotels, then drive again the next day--leisurely. I have a couple trips planned this year--the Florida Keys and Denver, but those will be fly in and rent a car trips. I really want to do a coast-to-coast drive for fun someday...I've done partial trips, but never a full coast-to-coast. Boston to Seattle via I-90 sounds the most interesting to me..
  5. I would think the only cost that is relevant to departments is how does compare in cost to a comparable Ford Interceptor utility? This isn't the 80s where police vehicles had manual windows and vinyl bench seats..
  6. LoL...I did about 50 hrs behind the wheel...2099 miles. (I did stop for catnaps, bathroom breaks for me and the critters, etc).
  7. Probably doing a limited test run as far as MY 2018.... and if they are favorably received, they will offer it more widely for MY 2019?
  8. I doubt if they even build Durangos w/ manual seats...the power seats make sense, cops come in a variety of sizes.
  9. I only go to Starbucks that have a drive thru.. though on my insane cross country drive last year, I fueled up on McDonalds or Dunkin Donuts coffee and 5-hr energy shots.
  10. Yeah, 6 inches longer than a Suburban..doesn't look it from the pics. I assume they will do an extended length version also.
  11. The problem I see is when you need to fill up while traveling or otherwise away from home or your usual area. Finding a charging station, and recharging in a reasonable amount of time.
  12. Quaint....thing is, most of my shopping is on Amazon and other online retailers, so content comes to me, rather than going to a mall or big box store like it's 1995.... the charge at home option seems most viable for me were I to go down the EV path eventually..
  13. I can't imagine RR buyers are into 'active lifestyle' stuff like that either, aren't their buyers usually tasteless hip hop felons or very rich senior citizens?
  14. I looked up on Plug Share, most in NE Ohio seem to be at car dealers w/ limited hours, some at hotels. One at a Dunkin Donuts near me. Still, pretty inconvenient in general compared to the ubiquity of gas stations. I'm sure it will be better in 10-15 years.
  15. I get the 'charger location anxiety'... there are a number of EV charging stations in NE Ohio, but they are clustered around the cities and suburbs, not much in the less populated areas. It's going to be a while before charging stations have the ubiquity of gas stations, and the speed of a gas refill.
  16. I thought he meant me, I do like mocha interiors. My Jeep seat color is called Mocha Frost, IIRC.
  17. I don't think 100% of West Coast drivers necessarily want an EV, though. I know if I lived on the West Coast, I'd be driving what I'm driving now..
  18. It would stand to reason given their purpose...hauling much heavier loads than cars, longer use cycles, and also roads were much more primitive 100 years ago than today. (though the old brick streets in old neighborhoods around here seem to have held up better than potholed modern streets).
  19. I have the Bill Luke Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (Phoenix) emblem on the back of my Jeep, but it's small and tasteful. I did take off their license plate frame, it would have covered the 'OHIO' at the top of the plate. I found under the back seat the original Orange Coast CJDR license frame from Costa Mesa.
  20. The M-B equivalent of the M5 would be the AMG variant of the E-class, as it's always been, not the GT...
  21. I can't see the Germans cutting sedans models completely; the drop in sales of sedans is a temporary US market abberration; sedans still sell in other markets.
  22. and Twitter, Cheers & Gears, Amazon, eBay, etc..
  23. Yeah, I almost backed into a jogger in black at end of my driveway once at 5am...
  24. Like these pics...something going on w/ the front clip, front does look pretty vertical. I did see another pic of a Colorado ZR2 AEV concept that had the lettering on the grille bar...
