Well, ALMOST ALL service work is revenue generating. Most would be shocked to find out how many "goodwill" tickets are dumped onto dealers by manufacturers. Manufacturer's warranty work is paid by the manufacturer but at a rate that barely covers expenses. The occasional professionally irate...

My experiences have been generally positive. The rare diesel guy will scoff at the mere 11k lb towing. If they're not too combative I'll tell them my trailer has a 6k capacity. They're probably just anti-EV and nothing will change their minds. So many mention how much they hate the CT. I like...

They have these apps called dealer management systems (dms). When each line item of a repair order is completed the advisor is notified. If there is no response from the advisor after some amount of time the manager is notified. If there is no response then everyone is notified. These dms's are...

Ditto.

This is all about management. I've worked at dealerships for over a decade and I've seen many styles of "management." I use quotes because only a few have actually managed anything. Much like golfers. There are a lot of them. The vast majority are not very good. Some are not bad. Only a few are...

It's not that hard. Just devote every waking moment to creating content that a bunch of people will spend time watching. You'll just need some way to get by for the first few months or years until you figure out how to make your channel popular enough to support you. Couldn't hurt to be young...

I've towed all kinds of crap on my flatbed from empty to a golf cart up to a 3500 lb 8x8x16 container. Dragged a hideout travel trailer once, too. All of this is through Donner pass but never really bad weather. The first thing I learned is never pass up an opportunity to charge. Never. Had to...

I've had countless vehicles over the nearly 4 decades since I got my license and none have been so well-rounded. It does the truck stuff that I need, handles better than I want, is quick enough to make me grin, juices up at work for free, and doesn't look ridiculous. Basically, the perfect...

A coworker saw me watching Top Gun: Maverick and said if he had an extra brazillion dollars laying around he'd trade in his Sequoia so he could actually enjoy the 2 hours of supervised visitation his crackhead ex gets with their son at a park every week. Best case use I've heard, yet!

I talked a coworker into doing the unplug/replug on Monday. The one guy with a plug-in hybrid was even willing to touch it. Man won't eat pizza, tho. Gift card, it is. Don't get me started on his eating habits.

Clearly Kyle's vids have evolved. I used to enjoy learning about the vehicles he made them about but watching hours of teams racing across the country has no relevance to my ownership. I'd wager that more than 90% of us charge at home almost exclusively and when road-tripping, I certainly don't...

That's probably it. I have an aftermarket charger plugged into it.

It had no schedule at work. I tried setting one up and I got all excited to see the lightning bolt appear in the app but clicking on it gave me the message. Then, I turned off the schedule and no lightning bolt. I'm doomed.

I left my T plugged in at work which is very close to the airport so I could charge it up the day before I return from visiting family. This message is not what I need. I need enough range to get home when I land at 11 pm. Now, I'm hoping the vampires don't get too hungry.

Me, too. Plus the anticipated 1/4 mile. Bust. Never considered sending it through 6 mile canyon like Senna. That being said, I'm glad it's has the capability to better avoid whatever life throws at me than the rest of the truck world's line-up.

I'd like to get to an scca event if they have a class for them. I'd call myself an average or very slightly above average ability autocrosser. It'd be interesting to see how my truck compares with the rest of the unmodified cars. I know the brutal acceleration will help with times but it's...

Through the guardrail

My thoughts, exactly! Most non-drag racers would be in the .400+ range r/t. I assume it was a sportsman tree. Deep stage all the way through the first beam? Regardless, that's a great run! What's the elevation at Cecil Co. Raceway? I've run mine at Top Gun in Fallon, NV which is pretty high so...

Just like crack, get a few freebies and you're hooked. Strangely, unlike crack which people have killed to get money to pay for, some won't pony up the 50 cents per day for something they apparently can't live without or they wouldn't be on here commiserating with their brethren. It's a...
