The Lounge 2021

The blue one.

I've never been a new-car-guy. However, trying to purchase a used truck in the NW is insane right now. The prices are SkyHigh!

 

[dotCPF]

I didn't take today's whack market into account. Funny, might make more sense than not to buy new now.....

 

[Kevin1322]

Never even heard of it haha. Sounds like you've done your research and know what you want. Personally I'm always warry of getting a new model. No track record and they usually haven't worked out all the kinks. Curious why she wants a truck though when you already have a full size truck.

Ahh, I see! Good points. Tough to argue with, I didn't think that was a hybrid! Interesting setup, it does make sense to buy new in that case for sure. I don't know if I will ever buy a new car, but if I were buying a Hybrid/ Electric I probably would. Ford is pushing pretty hard into that territory. Jeeze that's a pretty low price too! Impressive for a hybrid small pickup, starting at 20K.... really are in the future!

If it wasnt for the crazy low price and hybrid 40MPG feature I wouldn't consider it. I do want AWD but you need to upgrade to the 2.0 turbo to get that option which will bring MPG down to 25mpg. No thanks. I got enough fast vehicles.

She is a truck gal. Most asian gals arent. Always prefer it over SUVs and Crossover. The 40MPG and 24K price does it. FOrd hybrids and CVTs are going to be a bit scary but who cares. At least there will be warranty for a while hahah.

It's usually a good idea to pass on a new model car until the bugs get worked out by the maker in a couple of years. Especially a cheap new model with newish technology. There are lemon laws for a reason.

She likes Blue

Sounds like a winner. Just make sure it's car seat friendly in the back, depending on what car seat or convertible (some are bulky). Highly recommend the Nuna Exec. 👍👍

That's the number one thing I am worried about most right now....I guess we will find out. This dealer is giving free limited lifetime drive train warranty and 2 free year service too. I do personally prefer iconic silver but it's not my call. She wants to liven things up with Blue. She already has a mod list ready for me. Hahah

Just got my new Lil V mule, 4K HCRI mix of LH351D and SSt-20, stellar 4000K tint on these LEDs, whatever new bin you have they are excellent!

This is a fantastic wall of light. Put it in my SLN for max effect. A very nice ivory beam. Nice to have a White board version now too, Lil V is such a great walking/ night setup.

These LilV are really practical. I have at least 3 P60 host with these. MOst people shy away from all flood mules until they get their hands on one.
