Trump should have just slapped a tariff on the virus; then it would not have come.

Chris, could not agree with you more, “Here's the product, here's how we can add to your enjoyment and peace of mind owning the vehicle. Here is the price we agree to. Boom.“ With all due respect to you and the other vehicle salespersons out there, my brother, who sold cars at St. Cloud...

Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but I still like to kick the tires and take them for a spin before I drop 30, 40, or $50,000. I really used to enjoy the banter with the car salesperson and walking the lot, although over half the vehicles I buy I order from the factory. Now I just want to get in...

Define ADM? I find it much less offensive when I walk into a dealership and there is a dealer “add on” sheet with a clear, flat-out “Additional Dealer Markup” (or “Profit”) dollar amount than I do with all of the extra charges that a dealer utilizes to surreptitiously rip the customer off. Now...

Ford does in fact make two special F150s for public safety. One is the F150 Responder (pursuit rated for active law enforcement patrol and comes standard with the FX4 Off-Road Package) and the F150 SSV (Special Service Vehicle; non-pursuit specs but still used by public-safety agencies for...

This I would have considered. Test drove the Gladiator, and being a Jeep guy (my ‘16 is #7 for me) I really, really wanted it to work, but it didn’t. So I added a 2019 Ford Ranger to my fleet, instead. I like having my Jeeps do what they do well and my pickup do what it does well, and the two...

Yeah, and look, those wheels are black!

It’s April 1st...

Please don’t hold back; can you tell us how you really feel about black wheels?

Have not had the Patagonias or the Duratracs. Did have Mickey Thompson ATZ tires on my previous (‘08) JKU and really liked them, but weight and cost disqualified them for me on my ‘16 JKU. Looked at the Duras and then went with the Nitto Ridge Grappler, again for lighter weight, performance...

Have no regrets, ChrispyKC. Your contributions have been helpful and have certainly gotten us closer to a resolution of this “Whodunit” type mystery. Reading between the lines, I believe all of the members here should be grateful for what you have given us and what you ”somewhat” haven’t. The...

As with all tires on these “lighter” weight vehicles like the Jeeps, and the Bronco likely will be, it is a weight issue for me. Looked at those Goodyears (which I liked) for my JKU at the time, but they were nearly 30 pounds heavier (for 5 tires) than the Nittos. With bumpers, winches...

Some type of All-Terrain (A/T). Presently run the Nitto Ridge Grappler (285/70R17) on my 2016 JKU and very pleased with it now at about 18,000 miles, including two trips to Florida with a stop in Washington DC, and general winter/summer driving here in Wisconsin. Having said that, TOYO has...

As I have stated previously, it has to be a worthy (or, hopefully, better) competitor to the JLU. It also has to have a certain “curb appeal.” The way Jeeps just generally stand out; you know instantly what they are when you see them without having to read an emblem. It cannot be “just...

Thanks. Glad to be an “official” member. A word of warning, though, there may also be little people running around your house. Know that they belong there, apparently, BTW, how many times a day can you clean the garage??? Glad I have a Mac in the garage to keep the Forum online and available.

Having gone thru the exact same awaiting the introduction of the then new Jeep Wrangler JLU, I can empathize with the group as everyone patiently, or impatiently, waits the arrival of the 2021 Ford Bronco. Heck, I even flew out to LA for the Auto Show and the public introduction of the JL...

This would be fine...

Oh, there was a Bronco there. Sorry. Nice.

I was thinking something more in the Green hue...
