    I'm due for the next oil change in our 2013 Corolla. Just hit 100,000kms.

    Missed the pic by *that* much.

    I'm thinking about driving my truck to your house; waiting for you to back out the garage; block the sensor so it opens back up; drive my truck in; and leave it there till you get home...

    just so you'll detail it for me :D

    Unless your truck is a Ford Maverick, it won’t fit in my garage.

    Yeah, time flies. Think this is the 4th oil change. Going on time, not miles.

    I normally leave my fogs on. So if the headlights are on, the fogs are running. But my headlights are on auto, so I guess not 24/7.

    Same here, fogs/headlights on only when dark.

    118 and change here. Last oil change was at 110. We obviously got off schedule slightly at some point in the last 10 years.

    I drive with my headlights on all the time. Fog lights off unless it's foggy. Partially because you can't see the dash in the Corolla otherwise. Partially to take away one possible excuse for the morons to cut me off or crash into me.

    No, that was on my drive to work on Sunday. It was getting dark and there was about 100ft max of visibility due to fog. I only run fogs in the fog, especially since I put yellow bulbs in my fog lights.

    This is the same for me now that I think about it.
    Fogs are always in the on position and lights are always on auto unless it’s really raining hard.

    Similar to what Hyundai does. Being Dodge, I would be waiting a couple of years for any kinks to be worked out. This would be a brand new market for them, and if they are learning anything from other automakers, there will be plenty of hiccups to correct.

    I read about that and had the exact same thoughts. That’s the hybrid truck I’ve wanted for a decade.

    So it's a hybrid, but uses the engine to generate electricity for the motor(s) instead of driving the wheels. That might actually be viable.

    Yes, that is what I have wanted for years and years. I go on those long ass road trips in the upper peninsula where you bet your ass there aren't any chargers so being able to still just use gas and do my thing would be amazing but getting good economy while doing those road trips would be the cherry on top

    Anything & everything Chrysler will have a MINIMUM of 6 recalls and then owners will fight like hell throughout their warranty Lifetime...:mad: :( ;)

    When you work the service dispatch desk of one of the busiest dealerships you see exactly what the F@C& can & will go sideways...

    Exactly why I left cars and went back into Large Car's.....:hattip:

    They , Chrysler F@CK$ everyone to share the blame...


    Rant over but your get the gist.... I totally HATE one of the BIG 3 :rolleyes:

    That's a nice payload capacity even with both a battery and gas engine. Makes me wonder what Toyota would be capable of if they put a little effort into their engineering.

    Very similar to a diesel-electric locomotive, if I understand correctly. In my opinion, something like this is the future, rather than BEVs.
