Tow Vehicle

[sandm]

These two scenarios aren't necessarily state specific... .

agreed but it is to a certain degree. try to find a deer stand in idaho. they are around but somewhat rare.
guess is most of it has to do with the mountain terrain where deer/elk live in idaho being state managed vs wisconsin is all private land.

they both have their pros and cons and no dog in the hunt for me but was always interesting to hear one bash the other.
used to sell pallets of expired/outdated/seasonal candy to a guy in appleton for bear bait. he couldn't get enough of it..

Vroom is only going to go up on offer (have you seen dealer truck inventories? They are empty), I will wait 2 weeks, take delivery of new truck and then have vroom come get my 2018 and cut me a check. My 2018 isn’t due until 5/15

A month ago Carvana was offering me $1300
This week vroom started at $6800
This week Carvana offered $5900
This morning Vroom increased to $7300

I like my odds on offer going up over next couple weeks.

I can’t get rid of my 2018 as it’s my only means of towing the boat. No way I would move it until 2021 is in hand.

My experience with Ford was bad, Ford is one of 2 OEM’s that won’t let you sell a lease to Carvana,Vroom etc.

However my dealer bought my truck for nearly same deals at vroom.

Okay, I have to vent for just a moment. It's been raining here a lot lately, and I live at the end of a dirt road that is not maintained quite like it should be. My wife calls me at about 9 pm after meeting a few of her girlfriends for dinner and tells me she is stuck about 200 yards from the house. I laugh and said I will be right there in a second. I drive my f150 4x4 down in front of her and get out in the mud to hook up a tow strap. Well damn!. Nowhere to hook anything. Front or back. It's a 2021 Lincoln Aviator. Shitload of plastic front and back all underneath way past an arms reach. So I have to go back and get a shovel, bricks, wood, and work my ass off.
Next day I look online determined that I just overlooked a tow point in the dark. Nope. Not any on the stupid thing! And you can't even reach a frame component on it even when it is sitting flat on the pavement. Much less slightly buried in mud. The Ford explorer, which is the less expensive, version of the Lincoln, has a nice little removable cap in the plastic grill you can pop off and thread a pulling eye into the frame for just such a situation. What the hell Lincoln? Very poor design. So anyone that gets stuck in mud, snow or ice that just needs a slight pull out is screwed!

Yes it is. Not even all wheel drive model. But I don't care what kind of vehicle you have, provide some sort of means to attach a tow hook or strap some freaking where.

So, in my line of work I work with a lot of tow vehicle vendors. This is a common complaint of some vehicles, but it is a minor complaint because they are usually so damaged that it doesn’t matter where the cable gets attached when loaded on the flatbed wrecker.

Last dip of the season and first chance to give the Durango towing capacity a run for it's money. I'm happy to report that tow mode bangs out quite sporty 5k shifts and she handles the weight without much fanfare...

Not going to lie, but that is a lot of suspension sag.

I think it's pretty damn low to start with look at the front clearance. Looks like an inch inch and a half of sag or so.
