Do all the new trucks look like they lost there rugged look?
I have a 00 xterra and love it all the new vehicles like rams and fords even the chevys look like they have lost there truck looks I don't know how to explain it but they look pussified to me the real trucks are in the past now why do they all look like soccer mom trucks? Or Maybe i'm stuck in the past?
That's because there ARE a lot more soccer moms buying and driving 4-door pickups these days, and the manufacturers are catering to them with styling and interiors more like cars than working vehicles.
Nope. I'm 100% in agreement with you on this. Every year they look more like SUVs without the full body then an actual TRUCK.
I'm totally in agreement.
"look" like they have? Try "have" lost rugged, period.
New Chevy trucks have a 15* approach angle (how steep terrain can be in front of the vehicle before the front edge of the vehicle hits the slope). 1970's and 80's chev pickups had a 30* approach angle. I'm sure Dodge and Ford are there too.
Big diesels are one of the driving factors here, they tend to be taller than the gas engines, so they need a higher hood line, OR lower bumper to cram it all in. On top of that, as mentioned, the vast majority of trucks sold anymore, are not used as trucks. They are highly inefficient status symbols, and apparently what people graduate to from the ridiculous lowered imports.
- Wouldn't women like Dr. Ford feel safer when they were drunk if OSHA stopped violent men like those in the NFL from hitting each other? And calling it play. Shouldn't women have that right to feel safe? You can call this "highlight films" but they are just rich men being violent which a civilized government would stop
- Why do they treat the second and third gen of mustangs as if they weren't there? What I mean is that ford example when the mustang fan page uploads pictures of mustangs they never upload second or third gen mustangs. Then when ford made a mustang trailer for the 2015 mustang they made a time lapse of how mustang evolved. They put in the 1st and 5th gen. In that one they happened to skip the fourth gen for some reason. And when you go on wikipedia to see how many mustangs they've sold they skip from the first gen to the fourth gen.
- I bought a new ford focus sel hatchback with 29 miles, after 3 weeks the battery died and they replaced it with a new one. It died again? Can they trade my car for another one. I'm not gonna keep paying for a car that don't work. It has 300miles now
- Any new interesting news about Gm, Ford or mopar performance vehicles coming out in 2018,2019? Trucks, cars, trucks, SUVs, Hatchbacks? Mopars has brought out extreme amounts of muscle cars, trucks, SUVs, full size and mid size sedans. Other than cadillac is there any other American an brands coming to compete? Or is mopar going to compete with the raptor/Shelby for trucks or for small/hatchback against Ford and there focus st/r's?
