Bet you'd prefer 95 and rain over -10 or -20. And the battery definitely would.

I'm glad I'm able to help pay for your EVs, but in my case someone would have to pay me to have one. And even if I somehow got paid $250/mo.,with everything paid for (insurance, registration, charging, tires, all of it), I still wouldn't want a vehicle that's useless to me. Soulless and...

Have to admit that I haven't seen anyone measure the elevation in inches until now. Not even people in Florida do that.

No, that's extremely unlikely unless you trailered your EV to here. But even if you did, and have some juice in the battery, there are no stoplights around here. In other words, Hellcat for the win no matter how you look at it. Not to kick you while you're down, but how bad does someone's...

Not worrying about the humiliation factor, being seen in one? Besides, here the cops would wonder why such a thing is abandoned on the slope next to the road (we don't have shoulders, generally). Until the notice it's an EV and utterly useless around here.

It sure is. I'm now working on my second million...since I couldn't make the first one happen.

Looks like I need to humbly retract all the bad words I've used to describe the Dodge tracker.Turns out it is more truthful and influential than I thought. With the car unloaded at the train yard on 8-3, I fully expected it to arrive at the dealer two days later. Every one has got there in two...

The peak voltage is dependent on the electronics involved, more so than if it's a battery maintainer, solar, or alternator, supplying the power.

I've had good luck with Renogy controllers. One of them even lets me pick between 12 and 24 Volts.

They're working on that, south of Colorado Springs.

Hail the Coloradians! No,wait, that didn't come out right. They already get plenty of hail.

Not having compared rotor sizes, I know from experience that a 2500 has more effective brakes than a 1500. Also, it's really rare that I use the brakes on my 3500, except when coming to a complete stop, since the exhaust brake handles up to 39,000 lbs. GCVWR even on grades exceeding 8% just...

My favorite WD hitches are the Reese Dual Cam and the Husky (can't remember the model name of that one) with active sway control. That both help keep the trailer and tow vehicle in line makes a big difference, especially when passing tractor trailers with a lightly laden or empty enclosed...

Supposedly the car came off the train on 8-3. Hopefully it was driven off, and didn't fall off. Might go to Utah later this week.

My '14 came with 20-inch wheels which I quickly changed to 17s and put Michelin LTX(?) on. That was primarily to get better overall gearing and it really woke it up, allowing it to get into 8th gear without having to do 110 mph. The '21 had Goodyear Wranglers on it, which seems to be a decent...

My experiences have been with a '14 and a '21. I won't even count the fiascos with a Dakota and an '05 GM. Anyway, as somebody mentioned earlier, the tow vehicle can't be too large or heavy. That I agree with 100%. Having taken way too many chances in life, but somehow lived to tell about them...

Ouch. That does not sound like fun, at all. I generally left by 4 AM or earlier to miss most of the L.A. traffic. Coming back home could be a different story, but sure did help hone my shifting skills.

Bobtailing, or driving a tractor trailer in general? I thought it was great fun, and a superb learning experience. Didn't know a thing about tractor trailers before buying mine. And figuring stuff out, including how to drive it, was a challenge I'm glad I decided to take on.

Ah, that's where we differ. I only have experience with a 14-wheeler (okay, 22 when pulling doubles) and never had any professional training. Can't even say that I learned on the job, as I never did drive for anyone, or commercially. But then you know how much fun it isn't to not have a...

I've never questioned that a 1500 can pull a trailer. It's the safety aspect of it that scares me. A light tow vehicle with small brakes and tiny mechanical components is not what I like to tow with. Sure, if it was a Kia, Tesla, or even a Charger, back there I wouldn't feel so bad about it...
