It's a custom shop. I can easily see a business case for this product and other EV projects like it. I wish I had the cab and bed of the Jeep FC-150 we parted out way back in the day. A custom EV chassis like the one Vigilante is developing would mitigate the quirky handling dynamics of the...

Now that Tesla products are so commonplace, something very unique and cool shows up. I wonder what they could come up with for a Kaiser built M715 ? 🤔

Yeah I heard that. That's why I now use my iPad.o_O (I hope you realize I wasn't serious about these posts.)

Let's face it, with a cell phone in one hand, and a Big-Gulp in the other, how is a person supposed to shift a manual transmission.🤔

Micky Bly discussed this at the press event for the new Hurricane Four. He started out at GM, and one of the first engine programs he was involved with as a young engineer was the LT-1 edition of the small block Chevy around 1990. It was a big deal for them to achieve 300hp out of the 350 inch...

The A-Series V8 was introduced on Plymouth models in 1956. The basic architecture of the engine block using a 90 degree V with a 4.46 inch bore spacing even continues today on the Generation-III Hemi engines. (The change over to the Hemi raised both the deck height and cam centerline on the...

It seems all the good stuff goes to South America. I'm hoping we'll see a mechanical AWD on the Compass built Stateside, but I also would like to see the new e-axle as a Trailhawk PHEV option.

What level of social credit will I need to have to use this service?

Before we learned all of the details of the GME-T4 EVO, I was left wondering what the IC engine offering was going to be. We also have received a good understanding of what the hybrid system is for the North American Compass, based on what Jeep has shown us with the Cherokee. Now I'm left...

A trip down memory lane. We know that Ram will offer the ReEV as an option, but I would like to see a return of a Hemi Hybrid. Some people don't like to plug in. If they did have such an option it might be the only time a Hemi was cheaper to insure than a V6.

"Global Freedom of Choice" That's a tall order when the unelected bureaucrats of the EU have shown the ability to override election results, and the laws of sovereign nations, while imposing a net-zero strangle hold on those national economies. Canada isn't a member of the EU, but they also...

The combustion chamber design on the Hurricane four cylinder EVO is from the Maserati Nettuno V6. That engine is a 90 degree, 3.0 liter V6 with 621hp. It takes up a lot of under hood space with its twin side turbos and doesn't have balance shafts. It is not a regular production passenger car...

Good Grief! Chrysler is the perfect brand to use with the Peanuts characters. Does anybody remember how Lucy would always yank the football away from poor Charlie Brown at the last minute? Let's imagine Chris Feuell as Lucy and all of us poor frustrated Chrysler aficionados as Charlie Brown.😛...

The top power option in the new Toyota RAV4 is the 325hp PHEV. The Japan Mobility Show is this week in Tokyo, maybe we'll see what else Toyota has up their sleeve. They have resisted putting the 340hp Hybrid Max from the Crown Sedan into the Camry to create a Road Runner for this decade up to...

I wonder if the Hurricane I-6 will get the same upgrades? The Jeep Gladiator is in a holding pattern for major upgrades and Toledo South isn't equipped for battery pack installation. This new EVO four would be a good stopgap option.

Even with my Toyota I removed the vehicle from the parking garage, parked it on the surface lot, and positioned it so a flatbed tow truck could easily load it. (Just in case.) Then I hit the OTA start on the touchscreen. Fortunately everything went well. When I was working for the rental fleet...

They're probably now working for Slate.🫥 I checked the media website. The Grand Cherokee 4Xe drive-train is unchanged from last year.

We were supposed to see an EV replacement for the Ram ProMaster City based on the platform for these vans. Since then the EV mandates have been cancelled in the US, and we now have new tariffs. Will we ever see a replacement for the Ram PMC? For that matter, I wonder what the situation is for...

I can't help but wonder how much Canada's net-zero policies play into the manufacturers cutting back on building there.

Europe would all be speaking German if it wasn't for Jeep and a few other American made products.🫡
