qotd have you spotted a new mail truck yet

We reported last week that the new mail trucks are finally hitting the road.

I am wondering if any of you have seen them in your neighborhood yet?

Yes, it's a pretty straightforward QOTD, but that's OK. Sometimes simple is better.

And you do want to type more, feel free to opine on what you think of your local postal carrier's new ride. Especially if you didn't already do so on the original post.

So, with that in mind, you know what to do.

Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Yes, Ive seen one close up, and I don't think they have a prayer of lasting as long as the Grumman LLV (long life vehicle) that's been in service for 38 years and counting.

In my area, anything that isn't the old traditional truck is a Mercedes minivan.

Carquestions The writer should have mentioned "Super Cruise" is a subscription only option costing (presently) over $1000 /yr - so in 10 years for this one option you'll pay over $10,000 plus taxes minimum.
Lou_BC I've never thought of Norway as being a European country. Nordkapp is 2 degrees further north than the farthest road point in Canada that isn't considered an "ice" road (no pun intended).
Carquestions The Truth ??? Well we'll start with GM owning 49% of a Chinese car company (SAIC) that has sold the Chinese well over 1 million cars since 2003. GM currently imports directly from China the Buick Envision and Buick Envista and sells them here in the US. Ford owns 50% of Changan Ford of China and has sold well over a million vehicles to the Chinese and currently imports directly from China the lovely Lincoln Nautilus. And Volvo, Tesla and Polestar also have been importing cars directly from China into the US for a number of years. So the Ford CEO claims China is a threat even though it itself has made millions selling cars to the Chinese and selling Chinese made cars to Americans. So if anyone would like to stand behind Jim Farley and give him your support please be aware he is talking out of both sides of his mouth and all your doing is helping a Chinese importer wearing a mask - I'm sure he'll appreciate your support
Lou_BC Evil GM has come up with a way to save money and screw consumers........................ . This first popped up on Colorado and Canyon vehicles with the ZR2 or AT4X package and is being noticed on 1500 ZR2's, AT4X, and Trail Boss packages. .......... The GoodYear Territory tires do not have a M&S (Mud and Snow) or Alpine/snowflake winter rating. ........................... People who live in areas where one has to legally run M&S or winter rated tires are having to buy proper tires. It has been reported that these tires work poorly in the winter.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X With good winter tires on FWD and yes, RWD, you don't need AWD.
