Manuals are great fun on winding mountain roads and mostly a PITA everywhere else.

We have a 2022 F450 Super Crew 4x4, it has a much shorter  turn radius due to the different front axle which makes it pretty nice when parking, it is very noticeable. The ride on ours is amazingly good for such a heavily sprung truck. I believe the brakes and axles  are bigger than a 350 too. I also notice that we don't get pushed around by semi's when they are passing us as we did when we had the F350. The biggest downside to me is the rear axle  ratio, it gives you all kinds of towing power, but the mileage isn't as good as the 350 was, but it isn't our daily driver so i can live with that. Tires will be more expensive to change out due to size, but, all in all, we love the truck.

From what I remember he trusted his subordinates who either lied to him or took too many risks on the cutover timeline.

Manuals were better when automatics were slow with only 3 or 4 speeds.  With 8-10 speed autos that shift quickly and only rob 15% of engine power plus dual clutch auto manuals that are even better manuals are strictly for fun.     When I ordered my boxster the PDK was the only choice for me.

Yea, both Farley and Musk are having their companies assist the authorities best they can. The telematics systems from both the F-150 Lightning and the Cybertruck should provide lots of helpful data      

Very interesting, but it is a vehicle specific to the Asian market.

Appreciate it, this sort of thing happens all too often in the states, especially in urban areas. It's always a tragedy. 

It's definitely a possibility. Ford's one of those brands that loves to put hints in it's vids, sometimes it means something, sometimes it's nothing. 

Did my new year chat with ford on my order (F350 Platinum Plus Tremor ordered 10/8) still in "In Order Processing". I did some 500 mile searches ( Fl, Mi,Ks,Tn) a few dealers had Platinum - Tremor, but no dealer has the Plus package.

You would be wrong....enjoy your Porsche or Volvo
