Okay, since you are so fluent in Apple rumors, tell me what this year's phone will be like? Will it be a similar design? An all-new design? Square edges like the new iPad? Will they offer an SE sized phone this year? Will they stick with two OLED phones and one lower cost LCD this year, or do something else? Will we get a foldable this year to compete with Samsung and Huawei? What is goint to be the next all-new product Apple launches?

LOL, you don't know shit even though many of Apple engineers have finished working on this year's new phone and already moved on to 2020's design.

All the credible leaks come from suppliers as they start producing phones in the weeks before they go on sale. Everything else is just guessing and most of it turns out to be wrong. Remember everyone convinced Apple was going to make a TV? Still waiting on that one.

I stopped paying close attention to Apple products when they continued to charge $1000+ for a phone with virtually no new features (which was also rumored well before launch)

Again, one of us has it wrong, pretty sure it's you. Tell me something, do you still think TRX won't see the light of day? You said it wouldn't because FCA was bankrupt and could not afford to even put in the R&D much less produce it. What say you Nostradamus?

Come to think of it, anytime there's buzz about a truck that might be superior to yours in a significant way, you start whining like a jealous little school girl. What are you so afraid of? Do you need a counselor? If not now, you likely will if the V8 happens given your inferiority complex

No, I said it would be a lifted brodozer with a supercharger, some bolted on accessories, and a body kit. Which is pretty much what FCA is giving us, a hellcat with a pickup bed. BTW, thanks for reminding me why I blocked your posts last year. I apologize for forgetting not to engage you.

You're welcome. And no, you specifically said on multiple occasions that it would never happen because FCA couldn't afford to do it. You may have changed your tune down the line when the earlier leaks (which you say don't mean anything) started to sound more legit. You remind me of Ned from FedEx

How do even know that’s all it would be? Suspension looks pretty serious in the spy photo also the prototype did have Kings. The shock setup is covered on the spy. Only thing I did notice is the wheels and tires looked a little small for the wheel wells and the bed Angle was off from the side. Looked like the ass end sat high then went down to the middle of the body

Why would they cut the EB out entirely when they sell just fine?

They sell just fine because of the marketing trickery. However, I am not sure can afford the warranty side. Many of us have cam phaser rattling engines, plus there was the plastic oil pan dilemma, and then the updated valve covers, and the list goes on. Based on what's happening, that doesn't sound like a winning, money making approach. Based on the articles out there, the only place you will get a 3.5 ecoboost going forward is some f150 (non-raptor), and the expedition and navi.

I think folks are missing that the TRX prototype was just a rebel that had the TRX stuff added to it. The TRX is specified to be wide body and also has the wider footprint.

Serious question, have you drilled a weephole in your intercooler yet?

Hey stalker, search my history and show me where I said that. Bet you a dollar you can't find it.
