One just hopes Stellantis has the capital to invest in a proper redesign. The lack of investment in CDJR is coming back to bite them.

2026 went back to analog gauges for the XL.

Someone finally left the radio on in a cruiser at work. This is a Ford Taurus with a 3.7L V6 engine. In my experience they always need a boost pack - jumping off another car isn't quite good enough. Fired right up on the first try.

It was a known software glitch on older versions of IPC software. Current software has been updated to remove this issue as far as I know.

Alright, I'll bite. I work in rural law enforcement, though I'm pretty sure I could sell F150s for a living instead. Since I bought my 2023, I've convinced five other officers to buy an 2.7L F150 XLT Supercrew - the last one, we were on an admin run and were waiting for our cruiser to be fixed...

I'd argue front flush mount looks better for the vast majority of trucks which don't have a folding work surface. Plus it avoids the patent, hopefully.

From personal experience the Setina pushbar reduces front end damage, at the expense of damaging the hood when the pushbar bends backwards. Our fleet people seriously (and unwisely) considered removing pushbars for that reason.

Disclaimer: I won these items in a giveaway, so I can't quite do an unbiased review. But, I will do my best to address pros and cons. I recently saw a thread on the forum where Wolfbox was giving away a jump starter and air duster. Frankly, I expected not to win, but like an Australian...

Yeah, once properly aimed the the fogs are great. Takes a few minutes with a 10mm socket if I recall correctly. Don't even need to take your front wheels off.

The 5.3 is easily the worst fleet motor I've ever had to deal with. They burn a quart of oil per 12 hour shift, fill the cabin with burned oil smoke when idled and we've had multiple full engine replacements over 200,000 km on each of our Tahoe PPVs. Dealers all say it's a design issue and they...

Best Ford truck I ever drove was an F250 with the Godzilla V8 when I was posted to a reserve in Northern Ontario. That thing didn't stop for anything. Otherwise... probably a Ram 1500 Sport.

Went to the shop just as the first storm of the year hit and got my annual Corrosion Free undercarriage spray. Not bad for my truck's fourth winter up here in the land of road salt and brine.

A 302A should have the ability to lock the doors using that button. Are you saying yours doesn't?

Oh, an H7 will work. But your battery tray on a non-powerboost will fit an H8. For a little more in cost you have added insurance that your battery gremlins won't return.

H8 for non-powerboost. H7 for powerboost.
