The V6 motors they got now are putting out a lot of power, they are no slouch especially with the turbo. They got 4 cylinders making as much power as the old V8s

Sounds like someone has a V6............

I know, cause certain jobs do not allow less than 6 cylinders to be driven.

HP?  or torque?

I just ordered a Ford Maverick, 4 cylinder turbo making something like 250 horsepower and capable of towing 4,000 pounds.

Thats winning in horsepower. I would have to look up the torque though

My 01 Dodge with a 6 cyl diesel burnt out a single disc South Bend clutch in 20k miles. When I called them they asked if my truck was modified and how often I towed.  I told them the mods I did and I towed 10k or more at least 3 times a week. They estimated my truck was putting out about 950 lbs of torque. Their single disc was designed for up to 600 lbs. They sold me a twin disc at dealer cost. Their twin disc can handle around 1200 lbs of torque. I have had that clutch in for 8 years now and no problem, but for the past 6 years I hardly tow or drive it since I retired.

He ordered the 4 cylinder and not the V8. We all need to cut back here and there.

He opted in for the Turbo.  Kind of kills the argument.

I was considering that as well, but they don't have a version with a longer bed and smaller cab.

Also all new cars from 2026 are going to have the mandatory kill switch, and it could be something that will affect today's cars with a stealth software update.

Didn't watch the entire video discussion, but based on other new technologies close to becoming commercially viable, I'm thinking this kill switch might be useful for self-drive vehicles. 

If someone is having a medical emergency in a self-drive vehicle, how does it stop before reaching its destination without physically stopping or disabling it, which puts the passenger at further risk?

I do wonder about LE being able to disable cars, although I enjoy the "bait car" videos where Cops stake out a car they can control.  When someone boosts it, you see them on video when the engine shuts off and the doors won't unlock!   

The first time someone dies as a result of LE shutting down a car they are chasing, this issue will get a LOT of attention, especially from lawyers.

I'd rather see a better solution that's more elegant than a kill switch.  Like, let the Cops override the car's nav system and reroute them to the nearest police station.   

Americans hurting over gas prices call 'bull' on Biden’s claim he 'can’t do much,' Russia responsible

TAMPA, Fla. – Americans feeling the price at the pump told Fox News that President Biden’s claim that he "can’t do much" about soaring gas prices does not add up.

"That’s a bunch of bull," Chester from Kentucky said.

Lynn, of South Dakota, told Fox News: "There has to be reserves here in the states, that they can release."

During a gaggle with reporters in Fort Worth, Texas, on Tuesday, President Biden was asked what he was going to do about rising gas prices.

"Can’t do much right now. Russia is responsible," Biden replied.

They should poll Delaware

The hybrid option is currently not available. It was however a bit more expensive and less capable.

I think it will actually be an improvement over my 2.4 liter 4 cylinder Scion mileage wise.

There is nothing bigger than a 4 cylinder in the Maverick

I got a family of 4 so I need the cab and I am not too worried about the bed, I think its 6 feet with the tailgate down

that's a nice truck.  inexpensive too.  i nice smaller truck for easier parking and other stuff you would prefer a smaller truck.  i like it.
the 2.0 ecoboost is a popular ford engine.  same one in my Escape.  tq is 275
I changed the intake to a K&N CAI, and makes about 22 more hp and tq according to their dyno results.  comes with their dyno graph, and feels pretty legit by my butt dyno
and with the K&N CAI, now can hear the blow off valve.  cool if you like that sound.     its not really loud like an aftermarket BOV, but its notably louder than stock

LOL! 

Baby steps, huh?  Not really a crisis, then.
