CR-V engine problems

$35k in 2010 is ~$49k today.

A moderately-equipped MY2010 F-150 4WD (F-150 4WD SuperCrew 145' XLT V8) had an MSRP of $35,405:  https://www.autotrader.com/Ford/F150/2010

A moderately equipped MY2019 F150 4WD (F-150 XLT 4WD SuperCab 8' Box w/Ecoboost 3.5L) has an MSRP of $42,750:  https://www.autotrader.com/Ford/F150/2019

So yes, Sporty gets the W here - you effectively bought an F150 Ecoboost (i.e., the benefits therein - high(ish) MSRP, ~15 MPG, excess utility, lumbering road manners, but hey, at least it's smaller).

I see you've caught on to this 'alternative facts' thing.

Wtf...

$35k is ~$41k in 2019


Also a mid level trim F150 Lariat ecoboost 4 door 4WD 3.5L is over $50k with a couple options


Also... Wtf https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=512894720&zip=79765&makeCode1=FORD&modelCode1=F150PICKUP&dealerId=89181

$95,000 over the original Raptor MSRP for the Shelby upgrades equates to $5,500 for each time I saw the Shelby name slapped on the truck. Seems like a bargain to me.

Custom Shelby Raptor?

You're in panic mode at the L. I get it, but you're only making it worse.

The Lariat is a higher end trim level, you opted for a mid/lower end Cherokee (esp. no V8) - XLT w/3.5L Ecoboost is a generous comparison - you're really more like an XL w/2.7L Ecoboost.

You bought the equivalent of an F150, save for it's a bit smaller. Don't throw stones, yada yada yada.

What on earth

[BimmerM3]

Comparing a Grand Cherokee to an F-150 is like comparing an A4 to an Outback.

[12,000 RPM]

Comparing a Grand Cherokee to an F-150 is like comparing an A4 to an Outback.

They are both equally needless gas guzzling overkill for going to work + buying groceries and both probably equally competent for r0tor's off-road beachery

And unlike the A4/Outback the F150/JGC are pretty close in price equally equipped.

But w/e I think I got my point across.

Yea, not thanks... Next vehicle purchase will actually be an upgrade in ride handling and performance

So even MORE excess??? What more ride/handling/performance do you actually need, and why is any of that any more justifiable than whatever an F150 offers?

Why buy a new computer with the latest processor and latest specs when it's time to replace a 10 year old computer?  Why not just buy another 10 year old computer?  Both will p0st on carspin

  you're the one arguing against people buying F150s...

Is this analogy to trying to justify your indulgence?  Why is yours ok, but the F150 buyer's isn't?

[giant_mtb]

This is ridiculous. Don't want a truck? Don't buy a truck. Not every truck owner is some tiny dicked asshole trying to ruin your day (I for one, have a small truck, so that tells you my confidence in my genital device).

The market that sells to the lowest common denominator (you know, completely overpriced massive trucks that sell entirely on image and will never be used for anything other that getting groceries at 15mpg)

Which is true as nobody that buys a $70k truck is actually going to use it for actual truck duty... They will get a beater for that

[giant_mtb]

I can think of very few people around here that have trucks that don't do truck things with their trucks. And the people dropping big dollars (like for 1/2 or 3/4 ton trucks) even more so...can't tow that $75k 5th wheel with a damn beater!

Yes, how can you have a tailgate party with no tailgate?

Why are truck buyers the lowest common denominator for buying what they want?  What does that make you?

My truck is smaller than yours. Ha! My dick is bigger!

To be honest, I have no idea what point you were trying to make. We were talking about what the best way forward for efficient cars, and you randomly decided that a 15 year old RX-8 and a 9 year old Grand Cherokee are somehow relevant.

Naw, man. Got to let it be free. Roll down the window.

Just concerned about it getting cut up by the windshield in an accident, man.

They used laminated and tempered glass, even way back in '86... Yeah. If I ever crashed that thing, it would be pretty bad, and not because of the glass. Ranger is not for crashing.

I got a callback from American Honda today. Nice lady but as far as Honda is concerned it's not an issue for vehicles south of the Frost Belt.
My instinct is to trade it in for a RAV4 hybrid or something and try and recover some of my costs by joining the class action lawsuit.
Alternative is to hang onto it, live with a car that runs on diluted oil, and hope for the best.

[MrH]

Trade it in for a new Outback!  Just hold out a few more months.

While Subaru obviously has a bit more experience with turbos, I wouldn't blame him if he'd prefer the current 3.6R over the upcoming XT.

[MrH]

Booooo!
