Is the Ranger Raptor's reduced payload capacity enough to eliminate its practicality as a truck?
24 January 2025 09:20
However, improved ride quality is worth it when you consider the reduced payload. It just makes it so much better when you’re driving on a daily basis.
Does the Raptor name set by the F 150 big brother live up to the Ranger Raptor?
24 January 2025 09:20
It’s not quite there yet, but it’s close. The F-150 Raptor still just feels more substantial and capable all around.
Is the Ranger Raptor’s fuel economy the deal breaker for everyday driving?
24 January 2025 09:20
If you’re not doing crazy long commutes it’s manageable. All you have to do is budget for it and have fun.
Is the Ranger Raptor worth the extra spend over a standard Ranger?
24 January 2025 09:20
No, most people don’t need overkill. Unless you are hardcore into off roading, you’re paying a premium for features you’ll rarely use.
Is the Ranger Raptor a worthy off road midsize rival to the likes of the Chevy Colorado ZR2?
24 January 2025 09:20
One thing the ZR2 has an edge in is really technical off roading, the ZR2 has front and rear lockers. Raptor is only a rear locker.
Could the TAMO RaceMo help change perceptions about Indian automotive engineering?
24 January 2025 09:09
Even when it didn't make it to production, I think it already changed some perceptions. It was impressive that Tata could design something like this.
What can Tata Motors learn from the TAMO RaceMo project?
24 January 2025 09:09
The moral of the story is, if you’re going to do something like this, commit fully. Halo products don’t work with half measures.
Could DC Avanti be a failure for the TAMO RaceMo?
24 January 2025 09:09
The RaceMo had much more potential. The Avanti would have had no chance against Tata with its engineering expertise and brand value.
Was the TAMO RaceMo too ambitious for 2004?
24 January 2025 09:09
I wouldn't say it was too ambitious. Moonshot projects push boundaries, so companies need them. Failing it would’ve been valuable learnings.
Will the XSR300 be moddable as much as the original RD350?
24 January 2025 08:36
I'm optimistic. It's understandable, Yamaha knows their audience for this bike. Even if it's not as open as the old two-strokes, they'll probably build it with some kind of customization in mind.
Could the XSR300 bring back the 'Race Developed' spirit in everyday riding?
24 January 2025 08:36
I think it could, just in different ways. The spirit of the "Race Developed" today, however, is more about precision and control than raw power. The XSR300 could nail that.
Will the XSR300 handle like modern sport bikes?
24 January 2025 08:36
With the upright riding position, it actually might have an advantage in tight, technical roads. Less aggressive ergonomics can sometimes give you more confidence.
Could the XSR300 help bring younger riders into the retro motorcycle scene?
24 January 2025 08:36
I think it has a shot. The key to making it work will be to market it as a lifestyle choice, not just another motorcycle. If you make it Instagram worthy, they will come.
Is the Yamaha XSR300 worthy of the RD350 legacy?
24 January 2025 08:36
I believe it’s not fair to compare them with each other. The RD350 is the spirit that the XSR300 is trying to capture, not replicate. It's a modern interpretation for riders today with today's regulations.
Could simple, low cost modifications to the Eeco Ambulance make it more effective?
24 January 2025 08:17
Absolutely! I’ve seen some clever mods that make a huge difference. Things as simple as better organization of medical supplies, better lighting, and a more robust power system for equipment can turn the Eeco into a much more effective ambulance.
Should the government subsidize Eeco Ambulances for use by rural healthcare centers?
24 January 2025 08:17
Absolutely! There are desperately few medical facilities in rural areas. One quick and effective way to improve emergency response times would be to subsidize Eeco Ambulances. It’s not perfect, but it is a start.
How is the Eeco Ambulance different from jugaad ambulances such as bike ambulances or auto-rickshaw ambulances?
24 January 2025 08:17
Neither is ideal, let's be real. Wherever we find ourselves, we should be pushing for proper, fully equipped ambulances. The Eeco is just one of these jugaad solutions, these are just band-aids on a broken system.
Is the Maruti Eeco Ambulance good enough for emergency medical services?
24 January 2025 08:17
I think both of you are missing the point. This Eeco Ambulance fills a very crucial gap in our healthcare system. It’s affordable, easy to maintain, and can be deployed very quickly. It's more than enough for basic patient transport and first aid.
How does the Mahindra Roxor's reliability compare to modern Jeeps?
24 January 2025 07:55
The Roxor might be simpler, but that doesn't automatically make it more reliable. Modern Jeeps have the advantage of decades of engineering improvements. The Roxor is still relatively unproven in the long term.
Could the Mahindra Roxor become a cult classic like the Suzuki Samurai?
24 January 2025 07:55
Absolutely! The Roxor has all the ingredients—it's simple, capable, and different from the mainstream. Plus, the legal drama with Jeep only adds to its underdog appeal. Give it a few years, and it'll be a bona fide cult classic.
