Meanwhile in China

Dude, every service has been at least $500. I don't even think the 40k is anything special with my car. That's pretty much the standard going rate at dealerships now. Now that it's out of warranty I may take it to a local shop but they have gotten things wrong before. It's a late 2018...

Am I? My Dad pays even more for his Boomer Lexus

Also the endless belts and chains was not Alltrack specific, but generally with any old car. What does Honda charge for routine yearly maintenance? What will Ford? It's a question more people should ask

Oh wow, yeah hauling trash every week would def be easier with a truck. I get it

VW. I don't love modern Toyotas. The interiors are cheap and basic. 4 way lumbar is a must for me, hard to get in a Toyota. Y is a hatchback, but surprisingly big in terms of cargo capacity. I think it can tow 4000 pounds? Didn't you say the only reason you want a truck is to tow a 1000...

Every year I take my Alltrack to the stealership for routine service, and it's $700 minimum. Regardless of the miles driven. Once the car starts getting older then it's endless belts, chains, sensors, fluids etc... I was only estimating about $1300 in gas savings actually. If you charge off...

I got the $7500 federal tax credit and paid no sales tax in Jersey, so that was about $10K right off the price for me. Then you save about $2k/year in gas and maintenance. Depending on what you are comparing an EV may end up being cheaper in the long run.

You mean this?

In the website they have some inspo designs. I do think it would be great as an open air beach buggy, or a small business transport

Yeah that's my question. Bolting on parts after the fact won't be as nice as something that was designed for it from the ground up. For example a tablet that isn't integrated into the car's functionality, or two speakers in the front only. How would the AC even work for the SUV extension? I...

I think it is sold here as the Escape Plug-In Hybrid.

Even aside from needing electricity, with my old POS Escape the gas pump did not always work. The pump would constantly turn off, and it would be difficult to get a full tank. I believe it had something to do with cold temperatures and back pressure due to poor tank ventilation.
