Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

FWIW, I am not a huge fan of Apple Carplay and adding a stereo that will connect via CP and adding an incline meter is not a big deal. Wheel base and torque for pulling are obv an issue."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Yeah, white would be good of those four choices."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

The first new car I ever bought had two reds, bright red and a darker metallic red. When negotiating with the dealer, I said I wanted a red one. When they asked me if they couldn't get red, what other color would work I answered "the other red".
What I don't want is a boring silver color.

I don't want keyless ignition either, but you can't buy Fords anymore without that feature.

If you've got the vehicle mainly for offroad capabilities, why bother with those bells and whistles?Originally posted by Scott R Nelson View PostI specifically DON'T want those features. They come in one of the packages that I will not get. I don't want the car doing ANYTHING automatically for me if I can get a newer car that way. I don't even want the car to lock the doors when I go over some speed.

Do you dismantle your ABS as well? What about traction control?"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
