The Patriots’ 2019 schedule, sorted by 9 types of revenge games
Tumblr media
For one reason or another, every Patriots opponent will have revenge on its mind this year.
The New England Patriots have a target on their backs. And it’s only a little thanks to their Super Bowl 53 victory.
No team in the league has conjured more ill will than Bill Belichick’s. New England’s regular success and history of maybe-kinda-sorta-probably cheating has bred the type of contempt usually deserved for Cobra Kai, canker sores, and people who cook french fries in an oven instead of a deep fryer. Beating the Patriots isn’t just adding a notch to the win column; it’s an affirmation that man can defeat machine — that if I can change, and you can change ... EVERYBODY can change.
But beating Tom Brady means more to some teams than others. For the rest of the AFC East, it’s an opportunity to stab back at the oppressor who’s won 15 of the division’s last 16 titles. For the Texans, Steelers, and Ravens, it’s the chance to erase some prior postseason heartache while staking a claim at the top of the AFC.
And if you’re the Giants and it’s the Super Bowl, it’s just part of a rich tradition and/or malevolent witch’s curse.
Who has the most to prove in their quest for revenge against the Pats in 2019? Here are the 13 teams slated to take part in Tom Brady’s “never gonna retire” tour this fall, separated by how badly they want to dismantle New England.
No meaningful history and a, uh, limited chance of victory
Cincinnati Bengals (Week 15)
Washington (Week 5)
The Bengals are 0-7 in the playoffs since the Patriots won their first Super Bowl. None of those losses have come against New England because Bill Belichick typically spends extra for the Comfort Plus version of the postseason and warps into the Divisional Round instead.
Washington’s going to be facing Belichick with either a rookie quarterback (Dwayne Haskins) or some MechaShiva combination of Case Keenum and Colt McCoy behind center. Since the Patriots are a team that somehow lost to the 2018 versions of Blake Bortles, Matthew Stafford, and Ryan Tannehill, that might work out for Washington.
We beat Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, so ...
New York Giants (Week 6)
Philadelphia Eagles (Week 11)
Carson Wentz missed his first opportunity to face the Patriots when he sat out Super Bowl 52 and watched Nick Foles earn MVP honors in a performance scientists are still trying to crack. Even if he loses in November, he’ll still have the warming comfort of the fact his teammates once made a bunch of Massholes angry in February 2018.
Giving Eli Manning one more primetime shot to bask in the glory of the team he’s somehow beaten twice with the NFL title on the line is a total slam dunk for an otherwise bleak Giants franchise. I can’t wait for GM Dave Gettleman to decree rookie Daniel Jones as his starter three days beforehand.
No meaningful history, but a decent chance of leaving Foxborough with a win
Dallas Cowboys (Week 12)
The Patriots became the first team since the Cowboys to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span back in 2005, which makes them a bit like New England’s dynastic predecessor.
Belichick resumed his duties as the Patriots’ defensive playcaller when former de facto coordinator Brian Flores left to become the Dolphins’ head coach this year, so that means he’s going to be the one to figure out how to stop Ezekiel Elliott with what was one of the league’s least impressive run defenses last season.
Tumblr media
Beating the Patriots would be an instant boost to the Cowboys’ credibility — a must for a team with only a single playoff win in the Elliott-Dak Prescot era.
The Belichick Bowl
Cleveland Browns (Week 8)
Belichick takes on the franchise that fired him back in 1996. There would be a lot more drama here if the Browns weren’t 1-6 in their last seven games against the Patriots (and 2-6 overall against their former coach). Cleveland’s recent ascension should make this one a lot more fun — especially if Baker Mayfield finds a new reason to feel slighted in the process.
The former Patriots assistant
Houston Texans (Week 13)
Belichick’s impressive record against former assistants and players took a major hit in 2018 when Matt Patricia and Mike Vrabel each beat him by double digits. Bill O’Brien was unable to capitalize on that trend, however. Last year’s Week 1 loss to the Patriots dropped him to 0-5 against his former boss. He’ll ride Deshaun Watson into his next attempt to dethrone New England on Sunday Night Football matchup this December, assuming Watson hasn’t been flattened like a papier-mache sculpture behind Houston’s eternally rebuilding offensive line before then.
The team that actually hangs with the Patriots in the playoffs
Baltimore Ravens (Week 9)
The Ravens have a rock solid 2-2 record against New England in the postseason and managed to drive a pair of massive scars deep into Belichick’s heart in those losses.
youtube
This extra gear isn’t available in the regular season, where Baltimore is 1-8 against the Patriots all-time (average margin of victory in those losses? 12.4 points). The good news for the Ravens is their only non-playoff win over New England eventually gave way to a postseason win in Foxborough. Two weeks later, they won their last Super Bowl championship.
The division rivals
Miami Dolphins (Weeks 2 and 17)
Buffalo Bills (Weeks 4 and 16)
New York Jets (Weeks 3 and 7)
Of these three, only the Dolphins have won an AFC East title since 2002. Only the Jets have beaten the Patriots in the playoffs since 1982. But they each see New England twice per year and are guaranteed at least one influx of Pats fans per season — especially in Miami.
Each team has its own kicker for wanting revenge. For the Dolphins, it’s a chance for Flores to prove the student has become the master by knocking off his former boss, even in the midst of an epic overhaul. For the Jets, it’s for a return to a simpler time when Rex Ryan could beat Bill Belichick in a playoff game and the portmanteau “buttfumble” was merely a glean in some twisted linguist’s eye.
And for the Bills, it’s for the chance to jump-start their rebuild, justify all the work the front office put into the roster this offseason, and drown western New York in party liquors. So many party liquors.
We got so mad about last year’s playoff loss we traded the guy responsible for it
Kansas City Chiefs (Week 14)
The Chiefs looked to have their first Super Bowl appearance since 1969 wrapped up last January. Defensive back Charvarius Ward hauled in a tipped pass intended for Rob Gronkowski to seemingly give Kansas City the ball with a 28-24 lead and only 61 seconds left in the AFC title game, sending an already frenzied crowd at Arrowhead Stadium into Beatlemania-style apoplexy.
And then the referees piped up to accurately point out that outside linebacker Dee Ford had lined up in the neutral zone.
Tumblr media
Five yards and a first down for the visitors. Two touchdowns and one overtime later, the Patriots were back in the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs were not happy about this. First came a proposal to NFL owners to ensure both teams would be guaranteed a possession in overtime, thus eliminating a world where Patrick Mahomes can lead his team back to a tie game in regulation and never see the ball again before losing (it failed to pass). Then came the trade; rather than pay Ford eight figures to serve as a painful reminder of how close we were to running Rams-Chiefs back again in the Super Bowl, Kansas City decided to ship him off to the 49ers instead.
Brutal. And now the Chiefs have to head back to New England, and a well-lubricated Gillette Stadium crowd, for a Week 14 game that should play a role in determining playoff seeding.
The guys who hate New England more than anyone
Pittsburgh Steelers (Week 1)
The Steelers beat the Patriots at Heinz Field last year, which turned out to be the equivalent of conquering Kamchatka before the guy who stole your girlfriend picks up the Risk board and beats you into a puddle with it. Pittsburgh’s win in Week 15 rekindled the club’s playoff aspirations, only to see that flame snuffed out by a Week 16 loss to the Saints that allowed the Ravens to win the AFC North. Weeks later, New England was left holding the Lombardi Trophy while all the Steelers could do is figure out what to do with Antonio Brown (the answer, eventually, was trade him for mid-round draft picks).
2019’s meeting with the Pats will be Pittsburgh’s 16th since Tom Brady took over as quarterback in New England. Over that span, the Steelers are just 4-11 and have seen their postseasons end with a terse Belichick handshake at the AFC Championship Game three times. They’ve lost games to the backup quarterback prowess of Drew by-god Bledsoe and poorly realized catch rules alike:
youtube
They’ve played each other so often that no amount of shenanigans could possibly shake Mike Tomlin. And also, he thinks the Pats are “assholes.”
Steelers HC Mike Tomlin on Patriots: "We spotted those assholes a day and a half...so be it. We'll be ready for their ass." pic.twitter.com/MB4kLwVgIz
— Rich Hill (@PP_Rich_Hill) January 16, 2017
With plenty to prove in the post-Brown, post-Le’Veon Bell era, no single win would be as satisfying as toppling New England in New England. The last time that happened was against Matt Cassel in 2008. Two months later, the Steelers won the Super Bowl.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Review: You Know You Want This Off-Roading Pickup
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon 4x4 Jan-Feb 2020 - Lisle NY Town Hall - Route 79
What you see is what you get with the 2020 Jeep Gladiator: It has the soul of a Jeep Wrangler SUV, which means it goes off-road. It has a pickup bed, which means it goes to and from Home Depot. And it has four doors and two rows of seats which (along with the pickup bed) means it’s more than 18 feet long, so even if the Gladiator goes everywhere, you can’t park it just anywhere.
The Gladiator rides alright, tows up to 7,500 pounds, and has a decent drivetrain. But highway handling is not great, wind noise is noticeable, and you have step up almost two feet to get in.  The cheapest Gladiator is $35,0o0, and the Gladiator Rubicon meant for serious off-roading tops $62,000. But if you can choose to get one, you’ll have fun.
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon 4×4 – a serious off-road Jeep with a 5-foot pickup bed.
30 Inches Longer than Jeep Wrangler
Jeep Wrangler SUV.
Jeep dates to World War II and the first General Purpose (GP, pronounced geepee and eventually jeep) light 4×4 utility, the first civilian Jeep (CJ) in 1945, and pickups produced 1947-1992. There was a 10-year gap until the first new Jeep pickup truck concept vehicle was shown briefly in 2003, with adaptations teased and reteased for 15 more years until the Gladiator pickup finally arrived last year, a gap of nearly 30 years. Too long.
Compared to the four-door Wrangler it is based on, the Gladiator is 30 inches longer overall, 218 inches vs. 188 inches, with a wheelbase 19 inches longer for a truly comfortable legroom in the rear seat. The Gladiator also tows more and costs more, but just $2,000 more comparing entry model to entry model. Both have easily-owner-removable doors and tops, which makes both fun crawling over boulders or sand dunes in good weather, and louder and sometimes harsh in day-to-day highway driving. No surprise there. Still, 75 mph on the highway in the Gladiator feels better than 55 mph did in a Jeep a generation ago.
  Center stack bristles with buttons and knobs. Lever on left controls four-wheel-drive. If you can’t find the electric window controls on the door, they’re here, in the very middle of the picture.
Jeep Gladiator On- and Off-Road
I test-drove the nearly top-of-the line Jeep Gladiator Rubicon 4X4, $62,020 including a healthy $1,495 freight fee from the Toledo, Ohio, factory. The Rubicon is the most serious off-roader in the line. To get in, you have to step up almost two feet. Don’t even think about wearing a skirt. (Damn. And here I am, stuck with this new leather mini – Ed)  The front windshield is essentially a flat piece of glass. The doors are rudimentary. The center console and stack bristle with controls for the four-wheel-drive system but if it’s initially confusing, just press the starter, pull back on the main shift lever, and off you go.
Around town the Gladiator drives reasonably well and you feel as if you’re sitting up high. (You are since it’s 75 inches high.) On the highway, the road and wind noise builds from the lack of sound insulation and the big, knobby 33-inch (diameter) tires on the Rubicon. The steering feels imprecise at speed, meaning you sometimes make repeated small adjustments to keep it centered in the lane. The bucket seats are pretty flat, and some adjustments are manual. The front left wheel well is so big, there’s no room for a driver footrest. On bad road surfaces, you feel the bumps, although there’s less pitching than on the Wrangler with its shorter wheelbase. The Gladiator uses the sophisticated coil spring suspension of the Ram 1500 pickup and that helps. Another nice touch is the damped tailgate that comes down smoothly, rather than banging open.
Off-ready tires on the Gladiator Rubicon.
Once you’re off paved roads, the Gladiator is in its elements. The Rubicon has 11 inches of ground clearance and fords 30-inch streams with the doors on. It has a 43-degree slope approach angle. The front breakover angle, the measure of how steep an angle you can approach without scraping anything, is 20 degrees. The rear departure angle is 26 degrees. Both are less than the Wrangler because of the longer Gladiator wheelbase and the pickup bed.
There’s nothing else like this among midsize pickups in terms of off-roading.  The Gladiator Rubicon employs a two-speed power transfer (between front and rear wheels), locking front and rear differential to improve traction, a disconnecting front sway bar (it raises off-road clearance), Dana 44 front and rear axles, and a 77.2:1 crawl ratio for low-speed travel. An Off-Road+ mode that modulates stablity control, throttle, and gear selection. In 4WD High, it’s dialed in for romping in sand; in 4WD Low, for traversing rocks and small logs.
All this from a 3.6-liter, 285-hp V6 engine and eight-speed automatic that gets to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds. A V6 diesel is coming, expected this calendar year; it’s down 26 hp versus the V6 but the 442 pound of torque tops the gas V6 by 70 percent. The EPA rates the gasoline Gladiator at 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined on regular fuel. The six-speed manual also offered is rating at 16/23/19. Expect the diesel to boost mpg by 2-3 mpg or about 10 percent. A Rubicon weighs a bit more than 5,000 pounds, about 500 pounds more than the competing Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro or Ford Ranger Lariat SuperCrew 4×4, 300lbs more than the Chevrolet Silverado ZR2.
Want to ride bareback (Ialmost)? Undo a couple bolts and each of the doors comes off in a few minutes. The top comes off and the windshield folds flat.
Jeep Gladiator Models
There are five Jeep Gladiator model variants, or trim lines. Altogether, there are enough options to make the top of the line loaded Gladiator approach twice the base price of the entry model.
Gladiator Sport, $35,040, including $1,495 freight. Four-wheel drive is standard, as is a six-speed manual, and reasonable 17-inch steel wheels with 245/75R17 all-season tires with all-terrain tires optional. Seating fabric is cloth. The UConnect 3 infotainment screen is a modest 5 inches diagonal, with eight speakers, and there is a remote USB port, but a bigger LCD is not an option, nor is Apple CarPlay or HD Radio. The instrument panel multi-information is a 3.5-inch monochrome LCD. Towing capacity with the better of two options packages is 7,650 pounds. A Torx toolkit is included to remove the doors in just a few minutes.  Skid plates, tow hooks, and a soft top are standard.
Gladiator Sport S, $38,240. The Sport S goes upscale a bit, with alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows, heated power mirrors, auto-on headlamps, keyless entry, and a security alarm. A optional 7-Inch Radio Group makes satellite radio
Upper trim lines include an AC jack, and it’s not an extra-charge option.
Gladiator Overland, $41,890.  It steps up to a 7-inch center stack display, UConnect 4, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and seven USB jacks. There are side steps, a 7-inch color multi-information display, 115-volt outlet, and garage opener. During 2019 production, this was the top end Gladiator focusing on comfort and smoother driving while still being able to match or beat most any all-wheel-drive vehicle off-road.
Gladiator Rubicon, $45,370. In addition to the serious off-roading features, it steps back down to 17-inch alloy wheels and offers optional driver assist features. Its top speed is governor-limited to 97 mph vs. 110 mph for other models.
Gladiator North Edition, $47,410. It’s the model for more comfortable cold weather driving. It has an 8.4-inch display with navigation, Alpine premium audio, cold weather group (remote start, heated seats, heated steering wheel), black hard top, and slush mats.
Gladiator Mohave, price TBA. Sold as a limited editon, it’s intended for higher speeds, up to 50 mph, in the low driving range. Most typically you’d be running sand dunes rather than creeping over rocks. It rides an inch higher than Rubicon and uses a different set of Fox shocks. The frame and suspension parts are even heavier duty to deal with a vehicle that might (correction: will, if you play hard) go airborne from time to time and land hard. The Max Tow towing package comes standard to get the more powerful cooling package. Pricing will be in line with the Rubicon-North Edition models, Jeep suggests.
The Gladiator comes with three or four serious tow hooks. The Gladiator Rubicon bumper is steel, allowing a winch to be added.
Options, Driver Assists Boost the Price
It’s the options that push the top Gladiator models into the sixties on pricing: higher-capacity tow package, LED Lighting Group, driver assist packages, a wireless Bluetooth speaker, forward-facing trail cam, three kinds of pickup bed covers, pickup bed cargo rails, premium alloy wheels, a modular hardtop (three pieces, separately removable), a hardtop liner for insulation, premium paints, premium audio, leather seats, and a winch-capable steel bumper. The eight-speed automatic raises the price by $2,000 alone.
Driver assists are options rather than standard. The Active Safety Group, $895, comprises blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors. The Adaptive Cruise Control / Forward Collision Warning Package, $795, is what the name says. ACC goes down to 0 mph but will return to speed; it holds the car stopped for 3 seconds then disengages.  Lane departure warning / lane keep assist are not offered, nor is pedestrian detection.
There are two front airbags and two side airbags, but no side air curtains.
Bill Murray reprised Groundhog Day, this time in a Jeep Gladiator, during Super Bowl 54.
Gladiator Vs. the Competition
The 2020 Jeep Gladiator competes with several midsize trucks, most of which have an off-road version. They are, in order of end-of-2019 sales: Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier, Jeep Gladiator, Honda Ridgeline, and GMC Canyon. The Gladiator sold 40,000 units in 2019, its first year, but didn’t reach full output and sales until the second half when it sold 33,000 units, the peak month being a bit over 6,000 in October. Sales may pick up in the wake of the the Super Bowl: The Bill Murray / Groundhog Day ad featuring the Gladiator was seen as the best ad of the game. In its first year, the Gladiator named a bunch of truck of the year awards including North American Truck of the Year from NACTOY.
If you just want to take a 4×4 pickup onto a dirt or gravel road with ruts and the occasional rock sticking up a bit, they’ll all get the job done. Others will be better at highway driving, smoother, and quieter. What the Gladiator offers is the Jeep aura, off-road abilities that go from good to great. For now you’ve got a very long vehicle with a roomy cockpit (front and back), and a shortish pickup bed. Jeep suggests other Gladiator size configurations will come.
This is definitely a car you want your partner or spouse to understand and appreciate before you sign the papers. See if you can test-drive it a couple miles on an interstate, not just local rounds. The Gladiator is no Jeep Grand Cherokee (upscale two-row SUV) if you want a smooth ride, quiet cockpit, and soft leather upholstery. And the Gladiator is one step ahead of the Grand Cherokee in going way-off-road, which Grand Cherokee in turn is one step ahead of most all other all-wheel-drive cars. Jeep understands unpaved roads and obstacles.
For serious off-roading, or if this is not your only car, the Gladiator Rubicon is the best choice. You’ll easily pay in the mid- to high-fifties on list price once you check the options you want, perhaps top $60,000.  A more cost-effective Gladiator is the Sport S with automatic transmission, hardtop and insulating liner, the two driver assist / safety packages, the 7-inch (LCD) radio group with CarPlay and Android Auto, the less costly trailer tow package, and a convenience group package required by one of the other options. That’s $43,165 before the incentives, so you might well wind up paying under $40K (see below).
(If you want the nicest all-round midsize pickup, that’s the Honda Ridgeline, the most car-like pickup. The Toyota Tacoma is another good choice. Toyota, Ford, Chevy and GMC make off-roading versions of their pickups.)
If you’ve shopped for a Jeep Gladiator over the past several months, you may know Jeep dealers were marking up the Gladiator, especially the Rubicon, by as much as $10,000, sometimes $20,000 (asking, if not getting) at mid-year when the Gladiator starting arriving in quantity. By year’s end, the markups were gone. Now, it’s Jeep that’s giving back money: a $2,000 incentive for virtually all buyers, $5,000 at many dealerships, and, says CarsDirect, as much as $9,000 in a few cases. Some incentives excluded the Rubicon.
The bottom line on the Jeep Gladiator is that it’s a little rough as a highway cruiser and many contractors / tradesmen want a bigger bed for hauling stuff, but it’s great off-roading, and it has character in droves.

2018 New Trucks: The Ultimate Buyer’s Guide
The best-selling vehicle in the U.S. isn’t the Camry sedan and it’s not the CR-V crossover — it’s the Ford F-Series lineup of full-size trucks. And although crossovers of all types are leading to sales increases across the industry, trucks still serve an integral part of many automaker lineups. Whether you’re looking into a compact/midsize truck, a full-size pickup, or even a heavy-duty model, keep reading to get a better idea on how today’s trucks have changed from last year’s models, and learn about their basic specs, too. KEY 5M: 5-speed manual 6A: 6-speed automatic 6-sp auto-cl man: 6-speed auto-clutch manual 7-sp twin-cl auto: 7-speed twin-clutch automatic FWD: front-wheel drive AWD: all-wheel drive RWD: rear-wheel drive ALL-NEWAn addition to an automaker’s lineup MAJORSignificant sheetmetal redesign, powertrain, and/or feature changes MINORMidcycle updates, minor powertrain, or feature changes UNCHANGEDMinor trim or package changes, new colors NHTSA AND IIHS SAFETY RATINGS: NHTSA and IIHS safety data is derived from recent model years. INTELLICHOICE Five-year retained value data may apply to common vehicle variants, not an average of all model variants. EPA RATINGS EPA ratings for the 2018 model year are more stringent than before, so keep in mind as you’re new-car shopping that a car with no mechanical changes from 2017 may still get a slightly different rating for 2018. Chevrolet Colorado Base Price: $20,995-$41,155 Body Type: Pickup Unchanged:  For 2017, the Chevrolet Colorado received the latest iteration of GM’s 3.6-liter V-6 and an off-road variant called the ZR2. Don’t expect many updates except for more exterior color choices, new convenience features such as push-button start, and possibly a special edition with unique styling details. The Colorado won Motor Trend’s 2015 and 2016 Truck of the Year awards. Also Consider: Toyota Tacoma, GMC Canyon, Honda Ridgeline. Sum Up: The midsize pickup that sets the segment standard. Chevrolet Colorado Base Engine 2.5L/200-hp/191-lb-ft I-4 Opt Engine 3.6L/308-hp/275-lb-ft V-6; 2.8L/181-hp/369-lb-ft t’diesel I-4 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6M/6A/8A Towing 3,500-7,700 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 16-22/18-30 mpg 0-60 mph 7.4-9.5 sec Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 57% * Estimated Chevrolet Silverado Base Price: $29,380-$56,370 Body Type: Pickup Unchanged:  The Chevrolet Silverado received a low-speed automatic emergency braking system last year as part of its optional active safety suite, and it got the Teen Driver feature, which allows parents to set limits when young driver is behind the wheel. For 2018, the eAssist variant is available nationwide in the LTZ trim, a rearview camera is standard on all grades, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen comes standard on the WT model. Also Consider: Ram 1500, Ford F-150, GMC Sierra 1500. Sum Up: Still one of the most popular trucks available today. Chevrolet Silverado Base Engine 3.5L/290-hp/267-lb-ft V-6 Opt Engine 5.3L/355-hp/383-lb-ft V-8; 6.2L/420-hp/460-lb-ft V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6A/8A Towing 5,500-12,500 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 15-18/19-24 mpg 0-60 mph 6.0-7.4 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 5 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 59% * Estimated Chevrolet Silverado HD Base Price: $35,255-$59,610 Body Type: Pickup Unchanged: Last year, the Silverado HD got a more powerful diesel option, a hood scoop, and a new air intake system. For 2018, it adds a rearview camera standard on all models, a 7.0-inch touchscreen on the WT trim, and a new grille design for the High Country and Z71 grades. A new generation is due soon; we expect it to get lighter and more powerful to compete with Ram and Ford. Also Consider: Ram 2500/3500, Ford F-Series Super Duty, GMC Sierra HD. Sum Up: When you need your truck to be imposing and capable. Chevrolet Silverado HD Base Engine 6.0L/360-hp/380-lb-ft V-8 Opt Engine 6.6L/445-hp/910-lb-ft t’diesel V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6A Towing 12,400-23,200 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy Not Rated 0-60 mph 6.8-8.3 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 51% * Estimated Ford F-150 Base Price: $28,675-$65,240 Body Type: Pickup Major:  The F-150 gets a big update for its 40th year. Along with a revised exterior, there are new or revamped engines with port and direct injection, among them a new 3.0L Powerstroke turbodiesel V-6; only the new-for-2017 3.5L EcoBoost carries over. A six-speed auto is paired with the base 3.3L, but all other engines get a 10-speed auto. Look for more driver-assist tech, as well. Also Consider: Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Ram 1500. Sum Up: More improvements for the best-selling pickup of the last 20 years. Ford F-150 Base Engine 3.3L/290-hp/265-lb-ft V-6 Opt Engine 2.7L/325-hp/400-lb-ft twin-turbo V-6; 5.0L/395-hp/400-lb-ft V-8; 3.5L/375-450-hp/470-510-lb-ft twin-turbo V-6; 3.0L/271-hp/440-lb-ft t’diesel V-6* Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6A/10A Towing 5,000-12,000 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 15-20/18-26 mpg* 0-60 mph 5.2-8.0 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 5 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 58% * Estimated Ford Ranger Base Price: $21,000-$35,000* Body Type: Pickup All-New: Patience, folks. The compact/midsize Ranger has been missing from the U.S. since 2011 but is expected to return in 2019 as an updated version of the body-on-frame Ranger sold in other markets (shown here). Powertrain choices might include a base 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, the F-150’s 3.3-liter V-6, and an EcoBoost four-cylinder. It should share a platform with the upcoming Bronco. Also Consider: Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon. Sum Up: Ford’s smaller truck is making a long-awaited comeback. Ford Ranger Base Engine 2.5L/180-hp/180-lb-ft I-4* Opt Engine 3.3L/290-hp/265-lb-ft V-6*; 2.3L/310-hp/320-lb-ft turbo I-4* Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6A/10A Towing 3,500-7,500 lb* EPA Econ City/Hwy 18-23/25-32 mpg* 0-60 mph 7.0-9.2 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles * Estimated Ford Super Duty Base Price: $34,000-$79,000* Body Type: Pickup Unchanged: After a 2017 redesign brought aluminum bodywork, the F-Series Super Duty carries over. Available configurations include F-250, F-350, and F-450 with three cab sizes, two bed lengths, rear- or four-wheel drive, single or dual rear wheels, and gas or turbodiesel engines. The current Super Duty is stronger, lighter, and more powerful than any previous generation. Also Consider: Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, Ram HD. Sum Up: Capable enough to be named Motor Trend’s 2017 Truck of the Year. Ford Super Duty Base Engine 6.2L/385-hp/430-lb-ft V-8 Opt Engine 6.7L/440-hp/925-lb-ft t’diesel V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6A Towing 12,300-32,000 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy Not Rated 0-60 mph 6.5-8.0 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 5 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 56% * Estimated GMC Canyon Base Price: $21,880-$44,065 Body Type: Pickup Unchanged: Leather upholstery is now available on the All Terrain model. The Canyon comes standard with a 200-hp 2.5-liter I-4, but opt for the turbodiesel, and you’ll receive up to 30 mpg highway and impressive towing capability. An eight-speed auto is paired to the 3.6L V-6. Notable features include an 8.0-inch touchscreen with IntelliLink and an automatic locking rear axle. Also Consider: Toyota Tacoma, Honda Ridgeline, Chevrolet Colorado. Sum Up: Whether Denali or diesel, this small truck has you covered. GMC Canyon Base Engine 2.5L/200-hp/191-lb-ft I-4 Opt Engine 3.6L/308-hp/275-lb-ft turbo V-6; 2.8L/181-hp/369-lb-ft t’diesel I-4 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6M/6A/8A Towing 3,500-7,700 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 7-22/17-30 mpg 0-60 mph 6.8-9.3 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 56% * Estimated GMC Sierra Base Price: $30,000-$57,050 Body Type: Pickup Unchanged:  The Sierra’s base model comes standard with a 7.0-inch touchscreen and a rearview camera. The TPMS includes a tire fill alert system. The truck is offered in base, SLE, SLT, and Denali trims and in regular, double, and crew cab body styles with short or long beds. Packs include the visual Elevation Edition and the off-road All Terrain X pack. An 8.0-inch touchscreen with IntelliLink and a 4G Wi-Fi hot spot are available. Also Consider: Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram 1500. Sum Up: For those wanting a more premium feel in their full-sized truck. GMC Sierra Base Engine 4.3L/285-hp/305-lb-ft V-6 Opt Engine 5.3L/355-hp/383-lb-ft V-8; 6.2L/420-hp/460-lb-ft V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6A/8A Towing 9,500-12,500 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 15-18/20-24 mpg 0-60 mph 5.8-7.4 sec Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 5 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 58% * Estimated GMC Sierra HD Base Price: $35,835-$60,380 Body Type: Pickup Unchanged: GM’s MyLink 7.0-inch radio system and a rearview camera are now standard. A tire fill alert system is new, and the Denali model gets a new grille design. The Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel V-8 offers impressive towing capability. The Sierra HD covers your towing needs with available dual rear wheels and a Gooseneck/Fifth Wheel trailering prep package. Also Consider: Ford Super Duty, Ram HD, Chevrolet Silverado HD. Sum Up: Capable heavy-duty from GMC offers as much as 910 lb-ft of torque. GMC Sierra HD Base Engine 6.0L/360-hp/380-lb-ft V-8 Opt Engine 6.6L/445-hp/910-lb-ft t’diesel V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6A Towing 12,400-23,300 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy Not Rated 0-60 mph 6.5-8.1 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 55% * Estimated Honda Ridgeline Base Price: $30,570-$44,060 Body Type: Pickup Unchanged:  The Ridgeline enters the 2018 model year with nine trims (down from 12), and the Sport trim now offers White Diamond Pearl and Lunar Silver Metallic. A 10-speed auto might be added to higher trims in a few years, and we hope lower trims get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality for the 2019 model year. The unibody truck is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 and can tow up to 3,500 pounds in front-drive form or up to 5,000 pounds with all-wheel drive. Also Consider: Chevrolet Colorado, Toyota Tacoma. Sum Up: Honda’s smooth-riding unibody truck is as intriguing as ever. Honda Ridgeline Base Engine 3.5L/280-hp/262-lb-ft V-6 Opt Engine None Drivetrain Front-engine, FWD/AWD, 6A Towing 3,500-5,000 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 18-19/25-26 mpg 0-60 mph 7.3-7.6 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 5 Stars * Estimated Nissan Frontier Base Price: $20,000-$34,000* Body Type: Pickup Unchanged: Although it hasn’t had any significant updates in years, the Frontier still makes a case as an affordable starter pickup for the DIY crowd. The base four-cylinder is offered in rear-drive only, but the V-6 is available in rear- or four-wheel-drive versions. The next Frontier should be based on the global Navara adapted for the U.S. in a joint venture with Mercedes-Benz. Pictured above is the new Frontier Midnight Edition that adds a gloss-black grille with matching 18-inch alloy wheels and semi-gloss-black step rails, black badging, black side-view mirrors, and a choice of Magnetic Black, Gun Metallic, or Glacier White exterior paint. Also Consider: Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Toyota Tacoma. Sum Up: A capable old-school pickup in a modern world. Nissan Frontier Base Engine 2.5L/152-hp/171-lb-ft I-4 Opt Engine 4.0L/261-hp/281-lb-ft V-6 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 5M/6M/5A Towing 3,500-6,500 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 15-19/21-23 mpg 0-60 mph 7.2-9.5 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 59% * Estimated Nissan Titan Base Price: $31,000-$57,500* Body Type: Pickup Unchanged: The Midnight Edition treatment spreads to the Titan for 2018, with lots of black exterior details including 20-inch black alloy wheels, and a choice of three exterior colors. Nissan added a King Cab model halfway through 2017. It slots between the Single Cab and Crew Cab. Otherwise, the Titan might not get many changes. Single Cab models feature an 8.0-foot bed, and King Cab and Crew Cab models feature a 6.5-foot bed. King Cab models are available with a segment-exclusive rear-seat delete. An anticipated base V-6 has yet to be released. Also Consider: Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota Tundra. Sum Up: Offered in most popular cab/bed combinations and with a generous warranty. Nissan Titan Base Engine 4.0L/261-hp/281-lb-ft V-6* Opt Engine 5.6L/390-hp/394-lb-ft V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 7A Towing 9,230-9,740 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 15/20-21 mpg 0-60 mph 6.5-6.9 sec* Basic Warranty 5 years/100,000 miles Safety 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 54% * Estimated Nissan Titan XD Base Price: $33,500-$65,000* Body Type: Pickup Unchanged:  Nissan hasn’t announced updates beyond the new-for-2018 Midnight Edition, but the Titan XD gained a new King Cab model with a 6.5-foot bed. It’s between the Single Cab and Crew Cab. The Titan XD is between half-ton and three-quarter-ton pickups. A gas V-8 is standard, and a Cummins turbodiesel V-8 is optional. The Cummins offers more towing than the gas but less than the domestic turbodiesel engines. Also Consider: Ford F-250, Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, Ram 2500 HD. Sum Up: An in-betweener pickup seeking to carve out a new niche. Nissan Titan XD Base Engine 5.6L/390-hp/394-lb-ft V-8 Opt Engine 5.0L/310-hp/555-lb-ft t’diesel V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 7A/6A Towing 10,990-12,760 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy Not Rated 0-60 mph 7.4-9.6 sec Basic Warranty 5 years/100,000 miles IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 52% * Estimated Ram 1500 Base Price: $28,500-$61,000* Body Type: Pickup Minor: A new top-spec Laramie Limited Tungsten trim adds luxury. Other changes include a standard rearview camera, a bed-mounted bed light switch, a fleet telematics module for tracking fleet vehicle efficiency, and a new Sport appearance upgrade. Leather is optional on the Rebel. The Uconnect 8.4 system gains Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, pinch-to-zoom functionality, and more. Also Consider: Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado. Sum Up: The only half-ton pickup with rear coil springs for a smoother ride. Ram 1500 Base Engine 3.6L/305-hp/269-lb-ft V-6 Opt Engine 3.0L/240-hp/420-lb-ft t’diesel V-6; 5.7L/395-hp/410-lb-ft V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6A/8A Towing 4,210-10,640 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 13-21/17-25 mpg 0-60 mph 6.8-8.9 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 57% * Estimated Ram HD 2500/3500 Base Price: $34,000-$67,000* Body Type: Pickup Minor: Updates include a Limited Tungsten model. A rearview camera and bed-mounted bed light switch are standard. A Sport appearance upgrade is available, and like the 1500, it has an optional fleet telematics module. Also like in the 1500, the Uconnect 8.4 system gains Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility and other new features. The Cummins turbodiesel now cranks out 930 lb-ft. Also Consider: Ford Super Duty, Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD. Sum Up: Ready for nearly any job. Off-roaders will enjoy the Power Wagon. Ram HD 2500/3500 Base Engine 5.7L/383-hp/400-lb-ft V-8 Opt Engine 6.4L/410-hp/429-lb-ft V-8; 6.7L/350-385-hp/660-930-lb-ft t’diesel I-6 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6M/6A Towing 6,820-31,210 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy Not Rated 0-60 mph 8.2-9.4 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 51% * Estimated Toyota Tacoma Base Price: $25,500-$42,000* Body Type: Pickup Minor: One of the few Toyotas without active safety features, the Tacoma might gain the Toyota Safety Sense-P active safety suite as standard to put it in line with the rest of the Toyota lineup. Expect the Tacoma to carry over with small updates such as new exterior colors and possibly additional tech and convenience features to make the truck more competitive in its segment. Also Consider: Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Honda Ridgeline. Sum Up: Tough, rugged, and ready for all road surfaces. Toyota Tacoma Base Engine 2.7L/159-hp/180-lb-ft I-4 Opt Engine 3.5L/278-hp/265-lb-ft V-6 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 5M/6M/6A Towing 3,500-6,800 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 17-19/20-24 mpg 0-60 mph 6.8-10.0 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 69% * Estimated Toyota Tundra Base Price: $31,500-$51,500* Body Type: Pickup Minor: All Tundra variants get the Toyota Safety Sense-P active safety suite and a 4.2-inch multi-information display as standard. The TRD Sport trim (shown above) joins the lineup and comes with 20-inch silver alloy wheels, LED headlights, a honeycomb-style grille, TRD Sport–tuned Bilstein shocks, and TRD front and rear anti-roll bars. The 4.6-liter and 5.7-liter V-8s paired to six-speed autos carry over. Also Consider: Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ram 1500, Ford F-150. Sum Up: Plenty tough but still one of the smaller-volume players. Toyota Tundra Base Engine 4.6L/310-hp/327-lb-ft V-8 Opt Engine 5.7L/381-hp/401-lb-ft V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6A Towing 9,800-10,500 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 13-15/17-19 mpg 0-60 mph 6.6-8.9 sec Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 69% * Estimated The post 2018 New Trucks: The Ultimate Buyer’s Guide appeared first on Motor Trend.

2019 New Trucks: The Ultimate Buyer’s Guide
The stars have aligned and, if you’re in the market for a full-size truck, a number of fresh choices have recently been revealed. With the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Ram 1500 all redesigned this year to battle the Ford F-150 (our 2018 Truck of the Year), full-size truck buyers have a number of new options. Below the full-size segment, the midsize class sees the Ford Ranger reenter the scene. But if you’re a little rusty on the basic details, keep reading to learn about changes, specs, and IntelliChoice five-year retained value figures on new trucks.
Read the 2019 New Cars Buyer’s Guide right here, and our 2019 New SUVs Buyer’s Guide right here.
New Trucks in the 2019 New Trucks Buyer’s Guide Chevrolet Nissan Ford Ram GMC Toyota Honda

DISCONTINUED Vehicle is going out of production
NHTSA AND IIHS RATINGS: NHTSA and IIHS safety data is derived from recent model years.
INTELLICHOICE Five-year retained value data may apply to common vehicle variants, not an average of all model variants.
Chevrolet Colorado
Base Price $21,495-$43,495
Body Type Pickup
Minor The base model won’t see many changes, but an even more hardcore off-road model could slot above the ZR2 in the lineup. Reportedly called the ZR2 Bison, this rock-stomping performance variant will likely build on the capabilities of the standard Colorado ZR2 with its own suspension tuning and better approach and departure angles. The current Colorado was named our Truck of the Year for 2015 and 2016.
Also Consider GMC Canyon, Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger
Sum Up Well rounded and does everything you ask of a truck and then some
Chevrolet Colorado Base Engine 2.5L/200-hp/191-lb-ft I-4 Opt Engine 3.6L/308-hp/275-lb-ft V-6; 2.8L/186-hp/369-lb-ft t-diesel I-4 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/4WD, 6M/8A/6A Towing 3,500-7,700 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy 16-22/18-30 mpg 0-60 mph 7.1-9.7 sec Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety NHTSA: 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 58%
Chevrolet Silverado
Base Price $29,795-$54,495
Body Type Pickup
Major The redesigned Silverado has a more brash exterior, and Chevy claims it weighs as much as 450 pounds less than the truck it replaces. Two engines join the lineup: a turbo-four and a turbodiesel I-6. The latter should be the most efficient option. Like its predecessor, the 2019 Silverado will be available in everything from a work truck to a luxury-oriented High Country model and an off-road variant called the Trail Boss.
Also Consider Ford F-150, GMC Sierra 1500, Ram 1500
Sum Up Lighter and more attention-grabbing than its predecessors
Chevrolet Silverado Base Engine 4.3L/285-hp/305-lb-ft V-6 Opt Engine 2.7L/310-hp/348-lb-ft turbo I-4; 5.3L/355-hp/383-lb-ft V-8; 6.2L/420-hp/460-lb-ft V-8; 3.0L/255-hp/430-lb-ft t-diesel I-6* Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/AWD/4WD, 6A/8A/10A Towing 8,000-12,200 lb* EPA Econ City/Hwy 15-22/20-29 mpg* 0-60 mph 6.0-8.5 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety NHTSA: 5 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 58% *Estimated
Chevrolet Silverado HD
Base Price $38,995-$60,695
Body Type Pickup
Unchanged Not much is expected to change for the Silverado HD except for new exterior colors and additional standard features on lower trims. A redesigned truck should arrive soon and, like the Silverado 1500, could be significantly lighter than the truck it replaces. Expect a range of gas and diesel engine options to return, possibly with major updates to improve fuel efficiency and add power.
Also Consider Ram 2500, Ford Super Duty, GMC Sierra HD
Sum Up Heavy-duty capability with an imposing design
Chevrolet Silverado HD Base Engine 6.0L/360-hp/380-lb-ft V-8 Opt Engine 6.6L/445-hp/910-lb-ft t-diesel V-8 Drivetrain Front-engine, RWD/AWD/4WD, 6A Towing 12,400-23,200 lb EPA Econ City/Hwy Not Rated 0-60 mph 6.5-8.3 sec* Basic Warranty 3 years/36,000 miles Safety NHTSA: 4 Stars IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value 59% *Estimated
Ford F-150
Base Price $29,500-$63,000*
Body Type Pickup
Minor Last year the F-150 received a midcycle refresh, which added a new transmission and several engine options. The new diesel version displaces the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel as the most fuel-efficient full-size pickup on the market. For 2019, the capable F-150 Raptor gets Recaro seats and even better off-road performance thanks to improved shocks, upgraded dampers, and a crawl control system. Learn about changes to the 2019 F-150 Limited here. A hybrid arrives in 2020.

Ford Ranger
  Base Price $25,395-$39,480
Body Type Pickup
All-New After seven years away, the Ford Ranger midsize pickup returns to the U.S. with a slight design tweak to the foreign-market version. The truck will be available in SuperCab and SuperCrew versions; no word whether a diesel engine will be available. Our sources tell us not to expect the globally engineered Ranger Raptor to come to the U.S. before 2021 when the Ranger is redesigned.
Also Consider Chevrolet Colorado, Honda Ridgeline, Toyota Tacoma
Sum Up Ford’s midsize pickup returns to the U.S.

There’s also a rumor of a new 7.0-liter V-8. That updated truck will most likely be sold as a 2020 model, though, with the 2019 F-250, F-350, and F-450 carrying over essentially unchanged from last year.
Also Consider Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, Ram HD
Sum Up Still the best heavy-duty pickup on the market

Like its Chevrolet Colorado twin, it can be configured with a crew cab and a short or long bed.
Also Consider Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger
Sum Up Rugged or luxurious, the Canyon offers lots of choices

2018 New Trucks: The Ultimate Buyer’s Guide
The best-selling vehicle in the U.S. isn’t the Camry sedan and it’s not the CR-V crossover — it’s the Ford F-Series lineup of full-size trucks. And although crossovers of all types are leading to sales increases across the industry, trucks still serve an integral part of many automaker lineups. Whether you’re looking into a compact/midsize truck, a full-size pickup, or even a heavy-duty model, keep reading to get a better idea on how today’s trucks have changed from last year’s models, and learn about their basic specs, too.
KEY
5M: 5-speed manual
6A: 6-speed automatic
6-sp auto-cl man: 6-speed auto-clutch manual
7-sp twin-cl auto: 7-speed twin-clutch automatic
FWD: front-wheel drive
AWD: all-wheel drive
RWD: rear-wheel drive
ALL-NEW An addition to an automaker’s lineup
MAJOR Significant sheetmetal redesign, powertrain, and/or feature changes
MINOR Midcycle updates, minor powertrain, or feature changes

NHTSA AND IIHS SAFETY RATINGS: NHTSA and IIHS safety data is derived from recent model years.
INTELLICHOICE Five-year retained value data may apply to common vehicle variants, not an average of all model variants.
EPA RATINGS EPA ratings for the 2018 model year are more stringent than before, so keep in mind as you’re new-car shopping that a car with no mechanical changes from 2017 may still get a slightly different rating for 2018.
Chevrolet Colorado
Base Price: $20,995-$41,155
Body Type: Pickup
Unchanged:  For 2017, the Chevrolet Colorado received the latest iteration of GM’s 3.6-liter V-6 and an off-road variant called the ZR2. Don’t expect many updates except for more exterior color choices, new convenience features such as push-button start, and possibly a special edition with unique styling details. The Colorado won Motor Trend’s 2015 and 2016 Truck of the Year awards.
Also Consider: Toyota Tacoma, GMC Canyon, Honda Ridgeline.
Sum Up: The midsize pickup that sets the segment standard.

For 2018, the eAssist variant is available nationwide in the LTZ trim, a rearview camera is standard on all grades, and a 7.0-inch touchscreen comes standard on the WT model.

For 2018, it adds a rearview camera standard on all models, a 7.0-inch touchscreen on the WT trim, and a new grille design for the High Country and Z71 grades. A new generation is due soon; we expect it to get lighter and more powerful to compete with Ram and Ford.

Sum Up: When you need your truck to be imposing and capable.

Ford F-150
Base Price: $28,675-$65,240

Major:  The F-150 gets a big update for its 40th year. Along with a revised exterior, there are new or revamped engines with port and direct injection, among them a new 3.0L Powerstroke turbodiesel V-6; only the new-for-2017 3.5L EcoBoost carries over. A six-speed auto is paired with the base 3.3L, but all other engines get a 10-speed auto. Look for more driver-assist tech, as well.
