  1. I think strobe lights are battery-operated nowadays... LED's don't require much energy. The USB-C in my Cheyenne did around 10W, that's just a wild guess. The regular USB did 2 or 3W.
  2. Mexican robots are not lazier than the American robots.
  3. I believe it, same here, was down to 84% when I sold it. Around 20k miles on it. All highway, I babied it all the way through.
  4. Not bad at all! My front windshield is also tinted. I see a lot of people around here doing the same, sure, it's illegal, but have never seen people cited for that. From the outside, it looks really dark, but if you're inside, you can still see everything. It's like sunglasses. People can't see your eyes but you can see outside just fine. Same thing.
  5. Nope, didn't work for mine.. owned a 2019, I guess it's too old?
  6. I agree. Once bought a car that was in high-demand and the dealer told me he had to give the other dealership TWO cars then they'd send the car I wanted over.
  7. This is one thing I miss about my Chevrolet.. my Ford F-150 with PowerBoost gets 26 on the highway. That's because the PowerBoost doesn't have cylinder deactivation... With the Chevy, it could go down to one cylinder (about 50 hp, right?). 50 hp provides sufficient power as long as I am very easy on the gas, going a steady 60 mph, on a very flat surface.
  8. Beg to differ. My overall MPG out of the computer has been consistent with hand calculation. And 30 mpg with a 3.0 diesel is a lot more common, obviously, than a 5.3 V8. I averaged at around 23 mpg. Now, if I were to do a 400 mile trip completely on the highway, without stopping, I can do it. The way it is, I drive 48 miles on the highway and it gets 30 mpg. Then I drive two miles uphill to my house, it's a killer so I watch the average drop down to 25. It sucks.
  9. The value between new vs. used is still too close.. the resale value is very strong. I would not consider a used truck.
  10. You live in Dana Point? I have a house there, don't know if you've seen my truck around, it was a 2019 Cheyenne RST 4x4 with Mexican plates, it spent most of its time in Dana Point though.
  11. That was taken a couple year ago.. a long drive from Dana Point to LAX Airport. 130 miles roundtrip. Not a diesel either and this average was based on 50 miles so that wasn't too bad. CC was set at 60 mph and the speed limit ranged from 55 mph to 65 mph. Pretty good for a 5.3 with 4x4 though...
  12. I have 3M ceramic tint all around, including front windshield. Totally worth it but it repels heat so well I climb in cold interiors during winters.
  13. I don't think it's popular, that was the only one at the dealership, didn't see any out there over the past week in Riyadh or Jeddah. Am taking off for Cairo and then Dubai, maybe I'll see some, I don't know.
  14. The one I took a picture of was SLE trim and it had leather interior along with 4L and 4H. The price was around $55k. KSA now tacks on 15% VAT (national sales tax) so it's no longer a bargain.
  15. I knew it was sold in Dubai and Mexico, and it is also sold here in Saudi Arabia. Took a few pictures. I am not a fan of two door trucks, I like spacious interiors so I stick with four doors.
