Yes, Toyota of Stamford, everyone here is in the market for a car at all times. Please tell us more.

ride height (or more accurately, hip point) will be the wife's call, EV or gasser. I would need to see one of those in person to judge the interior space. But we have the truck so don't really need anything very large, especially since we won't not be looking to take it on vacation trips.

if nothing else, adding EVs to the mix will give us more options to look at!

When my wife got a feeling that an SUV looked too much like a wagon, she was out. 🤷‍♂️

RE: 2026 Mustang EV, charging if you want a frunk!:
without an engine, space is opened to add cargo storage under the hood to create a front trunk, or frunk. For new 2026 Mach-E owners, though, that advantage is now primed to cost them as the Blue Oval is now charging buyers for the electric SUV’s frunk. The feature was previously included as standard.

First reported by Ford Authority and confirmed by MotorTrend, it now costs $495 to have a frunk insert installed on the 2026 Mustang Mach-E across its four trims. According to FA, the change was made because Ford’s designers learned owners weren’t taking advantage of the frunk space.

Would you pay extra to get a frunk?

It wouldn't surprise me if it was either out of oil or very low.

She called her mom and said the heater stopped working. Then she said it was smoking. A minute or so later she said it was on fire. Sort of funny looking back at it.

is that like a bar handing our free drinks at an AA meeting?

Last year sisters husband had an Ioniq 5.
I asked him if I could drive it bur he didn't let me.
Don't know if he still has it.
He's one of those people that boasts about whatever he is driving until it suddenly goes away, usually due to some catastrophic failure.
Other than that, he is a fantastic person.

Oh, I did recently see one beast I liked at the ford dealer (while in for service). A standard cab F250. Maybe a 6.5’ bed? Not sure if that or 8’. That I could see out the back. Still way too much hood but at least it sat nice and high. And had the snow plow prep package. Never know when you might need that!

Perhaps.... during the winter months?
