Rivian R1T Pickup Has A 400 Mile Range and Tows Up To 11,000 Pounds: Comments
Very excited for this pickup truck. I do wonder why the 180 kWh battery pack drops HP. I get it has more range, but I see no reason to drop the HP compared to the 135 kWh battery pack. Like the Cyclone look. Love the open roominess of this truck! Gotta love a nice big Frunk! Like the ability of the tailgate in this truck. Cool storage area that also looks accessible from the inside. Great Dash Gotta love the power plug ports and USB C ports in a protected spot in the bed for external use. Bed does look short, some will probably have problems with a 4'6" long bed with tailgate up. For most city and suburban dwellers, I think this will work just fine.

Fiat Ups Power and Efficiency on 2019 500X with New Engine: Comments
Give it less than a 100,000 mile life before having to be replaced. I doubt this will give any more life to the Fiat crackerjack box car. This just is not what the bulk of America wants in an auto.

Land Rover News: 2020 Range Rover Evoque Gets Some Velar Touches
This auto has the same problem as the Camaro, to high a belt line. The lack of visibility out of the auto is a FAILURE in my book. I have actually come to HATE the high belt line look and as an engineer I challenge the safety call of high belt lines on auto's. I actually think it hinders safe driving. FAILURE for this in my book.

What Are You Listening To?
Have your 4 year old listen to Rain, he is a tripple threat actor, singer, dancer. He did some R rated action movies that are awesome for parents. For Kids, his music and videos ROCK! Course the Wife and daughter think he is hot. LOL His Movie Ninja Assassin is just AWESOME if you like that kind of martial arts movie. Some might consider it a bit bloody as it follows normal Asian excessive blood, but movie is fun to me to watch. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1186367/

Chevrolet News:General Motors: Ignore the Fuel Economy Figures on Turbo-Four Silverado and Sierra
See if this gets beat up in the Forums much like the EcoBoost from Ford does for not giving the stated gas mileage. People are going to enjoy the boost and the gas mileage will suffer. Common sense, you cannot have both fuel efficiency and power fun. Nothing has given that not even electric. Takes power to move weight.

Industry News: What Vehicles Depreciate the Slowest?
My 1994 GMC Suburban SLE with 300,000 + miles I would take over any CUV and especially any German or Asian car. Was designed to haul and pull and has outlasted many auto's a fraction of it's age. I would also take it over a G-Wagon. Yes it is built to military grade spec and will outlast pretty much the rest of MB product line, but the cost of repairs is way higher than my suburban.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Leaks Out (We Think): Comments
Sharp looking that is for sure. Not sure what the mileage is as they state zero on the Autotrader web site. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=486957501&zip=98043&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fsearchresults.xhtml%3Fzip%3D98043%26startYear%3D1981%26sortBy%3DmileageASC%26incremental%3Dall%26firstRecord%3D0%26marketExtension%3Don%26endYear%3D2019%26modelCodeList%3DH3T%26makeCodeList%3DAMGEN%26searchRadius%3D0%26trimCodeList%3DH3T%7CAlpha&startYear=1981&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0&endYear=2019&modelCodeList=H3T&makeCodeList=AMGEN&searchRadius=0&clickType=spotlight

Here the High schools and DMV do not have any training that they offer anymore. You now have to attend a for profit driving school. So I would think those types of companies would have a plot of land they could cover in man made snow, etc.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Leaks Out (We Think): Comments
Correct in the last 2yrs they had the Alpha which had the 5.3 L V8 Sad part is that even the non-V8 models with over 100,000 miles are still fetching high prices due to the ability these trucks can handle but is stupid pricing. Right now the closest Alpha to me is 700 miles away, Has 122,000 miles and they are asking $22K https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=497135025&zip=98043&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fsearchresults.xhtml%3Fzip%3D98043%26startYear%3D1981%26sortBy%3Drelevance%26incremental%3Dall%26firstRecord%3D0%26marketExtension%3Don%26endYear%3D2019%26modelCodeList%3DH3T%26makeCodeList%3DAMGEN%26searchRadius%3D0&startYear=1981&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0&endYear=2019&modelCodeList=H3T&makeCodeList=AMGEN&searchRadius=0&clickType=spotlight Crazy ?♂️ Total Search does show some very low mileage H3T Alpha's but like Cmicassa has stated, your looking at mid $40K for one. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/HUMMER/H3T/Mountlake+Terrace+WA-98043?zip=98043&marketExtension=on&startYear=1981&endYear=2019&makeCodeList=AMGEN&searchRadius=0&modelCodeList=H3T&trimCodeList=H3T|Alpha&sortBy=mileageASC&numRecords=25&firstRecord=0 OK, looked at a few more of the H3T Alphas listed on the East Coast, High $20K to Low $30K gets you one in the 50-70K miles range. Not too bad. Nice White one in NC.
