      Ford makes 20% margins off F-150 EV lightning ⚡️ But ford batteries 🔋 plants cost billions so every time they make money 💰 that goes to pay for their battery factory 🏭 ford already owns and has payed for a long time ago a engine factory. But ford also made a mistake ford delayed launch of f-150 because gas ⛽️ prices were low then gas prices spike ford two years later launched it and they did will old battery 🪫 technology that’s more expensive to manufacture lol 😂 when tesla and China was launching new cheaper tech ford was launching old outdated tech that cost more to produce so they scraped the old battery 🪫 and went with LFP

      My suggestion to toyota was to do the hybrid as a method of doing 4 wheel drive. The electric motor runs the front wheels exclusively when you're going under 55. That way when you're toolin around town you save gas. Then when you are going over 55 or are towing or engage 4wheel drive now the gas motor is driving the back wheels while the electric motor can still run the front wheels. Everyone buys trucks because they need the power sometimes but not all the time. So why not divide and conquer? They thanked me for my idea and that will be the last we hear of it.

      All for 18mpg.!! My 1999 Siverado Z71 with tonneau cover would 18 mpg at 80mph (South Dakota speed limit) On tax hungry Iowa bumpy 2 lane roads at 55mph average I would get up to 24.5 to 23.3mpg. My wife used to get so frustrated that my "big" pickup would stomp our later model Trooper II V6. IIRC the avg hiway mpg with the Trooper II was 13 to 15 mpg.
      I explained to her numerous times that little V6 has to work HARD lugging that heavy Isuzu around. Hard work needs more energy. That's not a hard concept if you've done really hard work yourself in life. City people listening to CNN will never understand the simplest of reality concepts.
      FWIW I had a 1986 Trooper 2dr and 1988 Trooper 4dr. Both were simple and reliable. But bona fide scary with gusty side winds. Pulling a heavy duty trailer loaded with deer for 400 miles on I-90 I could get 29mpg. But no way at 80mph. LOL

    I very briefly worked at a Ram dealership, and would hear about the “HEMI Tick”. The armchair critics would say they all do it, or that it was an exhaust leak. Then I bought a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 with 180,000 miles on it, and yes, it ticked. I began a massive tune up on it, and two of the 16 plugs were corroded away. About four of the plugs were in only hand tight: this was why it was ticking! Original plugs? Sabotage? I don’t know. The crazy thing was with 16 new plugs, it still ran the same. I liked that truck so much I bought a new one and like it even more.

    The electric fans don't pump oil pressure through your turbo that is still spinning 80,000 rpm when you shut it off. Instant oil coked. Are we not going to talk about the engine failures from machining debris left in the engine during assembly? Screw you Toyota.

    WD40 isn't a lubricant. They make a full line of products including lubricants. I used my dirt bike's chain lube on my 70 El Camino's hood hinges. Worked great. I used it on the door hinges and anything else that needed lube including carburetor linkage. Good motorcycle chain lube is waterproof and won't fling off.

    Lesson from this video. There ain't no replacement for displacement. I highly recommend using Lucas in the Hemi. Keep hearing talk of Cummins making a gas version of the 6.7L. That might be a good alternative to the diesel and lack of a V8 because again, there ain't no replacement for displacement.

    23 tundra sr5 trd sport owner here (non hybrid motor). 75k miles, bought it with 6 miles on it. I drive all over the US for work, thus the high mileage.
    The turbo lag was definitely something to get used to but I dont even notice it now. I drive above speed limit (allegedly). Average 17-19mpg but if I go for best mileage I can easily do 21-22. Best I've done is 24mpg. Eco mode is less efficient than Normal, or even Sport.
    Mine does not govern out at 107 (allegedly).

      @brandonmacon3317 just because it works well for you doesn't mean it's a flawless system. And it changes over time with new vehicles coming out. Especially the most modern EV they produce. It literally caused a 3 car accident while the driver had all their weight on the brakes. I have owned a few fords and currently have an old crown Victoria, which I love. New cars haven't always had their issues uncovered yet.

    Traded the chevette for an 1882 V6 Mercury Capri. It was a Mustang with upgrades. I was in college and couldn't afford the mustang GT. Loved the Capri so much. One day saw a Ford dealership selling Excort for 99 dollars per month. To save my Capri. Damn i came across a 85 Mustang GT. Black and standard.
    I didn't know how to drive a manual at 25 years old. The salesperson took me out for a ride and fell in love with Bought it with hoping green lights home.
    Oh it gets better. The dealership didn't want me to come back with my Capri. They wanted the car now to not destroy anything for the sale. The Dealership gave me a Brand new mustang with the 4 cylinder engine to drive back about 35 miles with dealer plates. I worked overnight and lived at my parents house. The next day my father was impressed, don't know why. I had to tell him that this isn't my Mustang from the Dealership.
    As soon as told him I purchased a Mustang GT he flipped out. He probably liked fast cars at his age growing up.
    Fell in love with Ford and Mercury at that time.
    I had small engine shop like working on lawn mower or snow blowers.
    Vehicle Manufacturers back then made vehicles that anyone could work on. Without the Internet.
    With all the socificated components, can't work on your own vehicle.
    If lucky still have a manufacturer warranty. My Chevy had a ticking noise under the the steering wheel wheel.
    Over 8 hours for the mechanic to realize that a ground wire wasn't secure.

    My 2021 Tundra double cab with an 8 foot bed consistently gets 14 mpg with a 6 speed transmission. Makes me think they could have improved the v8 a little, mounted to the 10 speed and be in the same ballpark of fuel economy as their crappy v6.

    Scotty still can't admit the Ford Lightning is better even after seeing all that power. 90% + of trucks have nothing in the bed so hardly anyone is hauling most of the time. Men buy trucks for the capability but hardly need that. They will sell more after they get the new model start up price down. $ .72 cent per gallon equivalent in charging at home gives you 4 or 5+ times the driving range of a gas guzzling truck for the same money. That alone sold me. Don't buy if you want a cross country long haul truck. Almost no one does.

    EVERY time I go to Toyota, I tell them (and the workers in the maintenance dept agree) that fewer people are buying new Tundras largely due to their abandonment of the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) by replacing a proven V8 with garbage, ESPECIALLY since they have a whole fleet of cars w/hybrid tech to increase the overall fleets mpg to appease the govt. They also ask nearly wkly to trade in my 2018 V8 with less than 54K mi. Their sales dept hears the same response...no way, I'll not consider until they at least offer a V8.
