How Will Vehicles Change With New Government Regulations

[Marshfly]

The ford and Lincoln’s are already using the gpf system, they are trash, surprise surprise.

I mean, it's trash on diesels also.

I don't "use" my diesel much in the winter so it has to regen a ton. Already once this winter it has gotten to 100% and I had to do a manual regeneration. That's 30 minutes sitting at a very high idle "burning off" that exact same particulate that not supposed to come out of the pipe. All in a single place. So stupid.

Trust me I work on the everyday, I know your pain. Only way I will drive 07 or newer is fully deleted. In diehard 5.9 guy so just makes easier buying pre emissions trucks. Its 6-7 grand to delete a new one the right one. That buys a lot of go fast, trans and parts for the older stuff lol.

I get all that but I just like newer stuff. When I have to take an 8-12 hour drive across the state to hunt I want to be comfortable. My wife wants to be comfortable. I'm not interested in old tired seats, crappy stereos, loud interiors, etc. I'm spoiled. LOL. I get it.

But I make enough money to buy what I want so I do. I mostly buy trucks a year old and get rid of them by about 100k so never have many issues. Someone else takes that big first year depreciation hit and I'm out before the big 100k mile value drop.

All that said, I really am liking this 2023 F350 KR I bought in November. I may spend the money to delete this one when the warranty is up and keep it for a while. Would be cool if I could just call a local shop and get it done though. haha

I would love for the government to get out of pushing EV's period. I would also like for them to take the Def out of diesels. I would also like them to stop raising the company gas mileage rate so that companies stop trying to force EV down our throats.

DEF will be going away as injection technology continues to improve.

There's already Tier 3 off-road stuff without it.

You only drive a truck 100,000 miles? WOW, that’s crazy man.

Why? Let's hear all the ways that how I spend my money is crazy to you.

We have 150k on one vehicle and are deciding on a new gas truck.

We’ve been told prices are coming down before the election, now Trump says prices are hard to reduce, and just this morning Vance back pedals further and says prices can’t come down until oil prices come down. Ok, Biden dipped into the national reserve and pulled international favors to reduce prices to artificially low levels, so to overcome that and actually make a dent in world oil will be nice to see, but isn’t going to happen overnight.

Tariffs effect every imported product, or domestic producer that buys anything imported - so no parts are going to escape some amount of price increase. Ok, prices are not going down, but will be going up. That’s best case. Not every nation is just going to sit back, so here will be trade wars to some extent. Worst case it contributes to a global recession.

Deporting every illegal is 20% or more of the work force in many agricultural and construction fields. Prices are going to go up for anyone who eats or lives in a house, no question about it.

Trump and Elon are in position to force an increase in the national debt limit to pay for the various costly new projects, and to give them tax breaks at our expense.

All the signs say make do with what you have, don’t make any new purchases unless it’s right now, and hope better ideas eventually come out of Washington. Folks voted for sound bites - this is what it is actually going to look like.

I suspect you will see more hybrid type offerings over the next 5 to 10 years.

Carbon based fuel isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
