Rich Rebuilds input is about as Valuble to the auto industry as supercar blondie lol. A youtuber i follow who does pretty big deep dives on scams and tech issues among other things recently made a video about how he was approached by a Chinese agency to do some paid for propaganda - and hes...

It would just be the base base, for like i mentioned before, fleet and SXS replacement. Let the buyer bolt on whatever they wanted. Offer basic hold downs/rings standard. Etc Could accomplish alot on that side of things

Bed + less styling features up front. A "super stripper" slate. But alas, too much bed/cab connection. Im sure someone will do it if thisgets off the ground

Something i thought of watching all this. I wonder what the cost of a flatbed based Slate instead of a bed based slate would be. Basic steel flatbed frame with simple coating a headache rack. And even less styling features. At $22k maybe? Edit: upon looking at it the cab and bed seem too...

Point being the EVs are part of that propaganda. The CCP has 2.1 Billion into BYD alone. Its all part of it. Glad we're on the same page. Let's go back to talking features

Yeah if you don't like people saying we probably shouldn't support or be good to a literal enemy country you should probably put me on ignore. Im guessing this being an EV forum im rhe only one with the guts to speak outside the lines. Unsurprising

This is research lol. Go watch some Serpentza or China Insider. 7 BYD fires a day, and thats the low estimate. Hard to get info when the Chinese govt literally arrests people for posting anything against their EVs. A whole ship just burned off thr coast of Alaska due to Chinese built EVs.

China is wherever the bottom is. I'd assume in terms of EVs its Europe > US > Korea > Japan

He lost me at the "China leads the way with EVs" it wasnt even worth replying to. China leads the way at lying and paying influencers and media. You can find a myriad of bipartisan sources discussing this. Same as they bring over influences to show off all of their "high tech" They are rhe most...

If only you understood lol.

Discussion was about the 90s and 2000s trucks the Slate is designed to emulate. I get that you have no intention of having an actual discussion and just want to defend the Slate at all costs, but I assumed that there wasnt pedantic behavior here and that a generalization could be made seeing...

Pushrod until '01. Pushrod 4.0 and its base architecture existed for far longer than the SOHC did

And these observed opinions are still inaccurate lol, also the AI was unable to differentiate between the versions of the 4.0. Again, I get you're a tech guy and you love this type of stuff, but don't be an AI person. There are entire youtube series dedicated to making fun of people who listen...

AI is notoriously inaccurate in almost all regards and has told people to do everything from shoving pennies into sockets to using glue to thicken pizza sauce. It is often horrendous at providing context or using reason It is not and should never be used as a valid source for anything but the...

* AI generated answer * kind of disqualifies the entire thing. The early 4.0s are super sought after, in 2001 they swapped over the the overhead cam ones and they went to shit. Same applies to the explorer. AI is useless for most things, but it is particularly useless for cars and mechanical...

I really do think $25k will be the make or break

A handful of Chinese plastic components in a ~15 year old domestic vs the motor unit from the motor supplier of a company that has had thousands upon thousands of fires and deaths per year and is actively covered up by rhe Chinese government as part of a $20B propaganda campaign. Very similar

Most transmissions are not made in china nor are their materials. ECUs and sensors will vary but the plastics are sadly often from there. Im really not sure why pointing out that Chinese shit is low quality upsets so many.

The *non OHC* 4.0 is the most reliable. The later OHC version of the 4.0 is at the bottom of the list for it, surpassed by the available 4 cyls and 3.0V6. The OHC version of the 4.0 was among the worst engines ford made in the 2000s, alongside those junk Jaguar V8s found in the LS and Tbird, and...

Nice propaganda lol. Same format as the thousands and thousands and thousands of other comments that say the exact same thing across all social media. I've got oceanside property for sale in Nebraska btw
