Finally had to get some new tires for the worthless electric vehicle. Made it about 31k on the stockers, just hitting the wear bars. Not terrible considering the weight/power of this thing.
Decided to switch to 20" wheels for more tire choices (ANY tire choices really compared to the 21's). With lightweight wheels, and lightweight tires, I'm actually seeing better efficiency than the stock road 21's. Can't complain with that!

Saw a maverick that had some Volvo wheels on it. Same lug pattern apparently @cmutty, if you ever need some.

Read recently Ford lost $130k per unit sold in Q1 across their line of EVs. No wonder construction of battery plants has dropped right off, which sucks.
In other truck news, just saw a new F250 lariat diesel here with a sales price of $154,000!!!! What in the actual fuck is going on?
Apparently someone on my street got a Cybertruck and did a tug of war with a hummer today?
Your park avenue leads to..
Found my first real limitation on the truck for camper duties.
The AC outlet in the bed will power everything other than the air conditioner. Wondering if a soft start kit will remedy that, but would rather not toss the $250 at the experiment.
If anyone has a camper with a 15k btu AC unit that has a soft start kit, I'd love to plug it into my truck and see if it'll handle the load without tripping.

New rivian is supposed to have over 1k horsepower!!!
I saw they fixed the suspension too. Mine sometimes oscillates like its stopped on a long bridge. 5/10 not at all what an air suspension should feel like
ALWAYS dreamed of a X,XXX hp vehicle!!!!

Some say its porpoising, but its more that that. Its a very low frequency wobble, hard to describe it. I don't think it can be fixed without new air springs. Confidence in handling forces you to back-off. Its bad when you're giving it the full can of beans in Auto. Overall still a great ride, just can't go at full tilt unless you're setup in sport mode and have the ability to smoothly take corners. Its uniquely bad too. I don't think any other SUV has both this much instant power and an air suspension to recreate the problem.

What motor is in the tremors?

Nice, love turbos but can't beat a roots/screw for driving everyday. Companies are getting good with hiding all sorts of limp mode triggers in the ECUs I guess. I think the hellcat motor had a bunch of that going on with the ecu. When we stop dumping obscene money into our house I hope to get something to wrench on with the boy.
